Mao landed a perfect triple-axel in practice! Hopefully she'll do it again.

Are you ready for the longest step sequence in the history of skating?

Piratekova speaking to his oiliness by the boards, YARR!

She is amazing, hope that she win this event!!!
She is so exiting to watch especially with her spirit of a champion for not giving up and adding a triple toe for any jumps just in case. :agree:
Love her :love:

I agree with the exciting part, but with Gracie, Mao and Akiko around Elena will be lucky to even make the podium.

She seems pleased enough. Based on her recent comp, she did better than I thought

SP: 28.26+28.60-1.00 = 55.86, 3rd out of 5

Am I the only who noticed that Scott Brown is with Gracie in NHK, not Frank Carroll?

That step sequence has even more obnoxious posing than last time!

Perkova's "Pirates of the Caribbean" is one of the worst choreographed SPs I have ever seen. When she originally competed it, she at least showed a lot of attack and expression. Tonight's performance was slow and sluggish.

No redeeming features whatsoever.

What is Alena wearing? She's looking so hot

She always did look hot! ;) :biggrin:

What a great move, Alena!

If things haven't been going your way, and you're being challenged by all these youngsters for a place on the team, go back to what you know does work!

The "Pirates" programme was always my favourite of the programmes that Alena has done over the years.

OK, so it wasn't as good a performance as when you did it a few years ago, but there's time to practice and improve before Nationals.

WELL DONE!!!!

This program really suits Valentina. You can tell she likes skating it. And I like watching her skate it!
