Main discoveries of this competition to me are Laurine Lecavaliere and Moris Kvitelashvili; it was also great to see Carolina back so strong and Anna being capable of 3 combos in the second half.
1. James / Cipres LP
2. Savchenko / Massot LP
3. Carolina Kostner LP
4. Papadakis / Cizeron FD (this is IMO the best they skated so far this FD)
5. James / Cipres SP
My top five from what i saw live on Eurosport:
1) Savchenko & Massot LP esp. their heart felt reactions afterwards
2) James & Cipres LP Very good coaching change!
3) Evgenia's LP : The terrorism theme is debateable BUT that girl can skate honey!
4) Both of Carolina's programs: She hasn't lost her extensions and stretch
5) The French 'Sandy'!!
Honorable mentions: Pogo's fight in her LP, Hendrickx's little sister LP, Pentz's LP, Javi's SP
1) James/Cipres and especially LP
2) All other pairs in top 8
3) Loena Hendrickx, Emmi Peltonen, Ivett Toth and Moris Kvitelashvili breakthroughs (Hon mention Paul Fentz)
4) Evgenia, naturally
5) Laurine Lecavalier
Hon mention - Carolina Kostner (quite the comeback after 3 years out c.f how long it's took Patrick Chan to get back up to full speed)
