Carolina's music takes me back to Josee Chouinard's program to the same music. Josee's program was better.
And, let's remember that Carolina had a minor injury in September that kept her off the ice for some time, so part of why her jumps aren't really stable is probably this
Carolina doesn't need any excuse at all!!!
Her technical content is no where as a top competitor, seriously triple toe/triple toe and triple loop, even the Junior girl make more difficult jump.
She has no excuse to not skate well, she was able in her early career to make triple flip/triple toe and triple lutz who seems to me the content that she needs for an Olympic season.
I'm tired to see Carolina skating cautiously with easy content.
And, her program begin to be less difficult each year after year because there is no transition before the jumps and the jumps are really telegraph.
She is overrated and doesn't deserve so HIGH PCS!!!

Besides the botched Combo, this wasn't too bad from Angelina.
Not a good SP competition in general. Regarding Caro, I was kind of disappointed at first, but her skating is really, really smooth and fast. Lovely to watch.
The only thing I always feel with Caro is that there are spots when I can detect a slight disjuncture between her upper body and lower body. Maybe it's her arms. She stiffens her arms when she should just keep it relaxed. I think that in the past two seasons, the music she skated to didn't necessarily require her to have soft, balletic arms, but this program with its softness and her just baring her arms means she can't hide that she does stiffen her arms here and there throughout the program.
