It's not Eteri. Rusfed arranges the flights and the hotels. I assume they didn't want to pay for extra days in Canada.

I was hoping they would have realised that the skaters need longer to adjust when competing in North America, particularly after Gumennik/Tarakanova/Shcherbakova all struggled with the time difference in the SP at JGP Richmond back in September....apparently not.

but I sure Eteri and Sambo-70 can made some pressure on RusFed if they want

Interesting that they called Liza's 3A< but not Alina's combo. If Liza goes clean with her new layout, we can see an exciting battle for silver tomorrow.

What does Kaori need to do toget respect? She’s amazing. Ballet arms and precise movement of arms and hands can be taught. Artistry can improve. Vastly. She skates so fast and I get tired of seeing her not appreciated by judges. Someone pls put her in ballet. Improve her arms hands head positions and glam her. She needs to bea senior lady at this age. She flies. Like Buttah is her skating.

Basically the reason why Alina's score dropped is because Rika skated well, and the judges found a new favorite. Which is a terrible reason.

Zagitova still got the highest PCS with that comical choreo and her mechanical execution. The judges still got her back. Rika’s flow and program composition are miles better.

She deserves 9.50 and above for skating skills for all of her competiton performances.

The early comments to the caption “Rika upsets Alina” implying that the ISU was somehow saying Alina was upset emotionally and therefore the ISU was bullying Alina.

Eh, I chalked it up to language barrier. Or FS fans being FS fans.

I would be happy with Rika winning this but I have a lot of confidence in Alina so I think Alina will pull this out. She knows how to win and she is a tough cookie. Rika is not used to being in this position. I would love to see Elizaveta hang on for the bronze.

I'm very, very sad about my personal favourite Satoko. So beautiful to watch and yet those jumps were not up to par.

Guess it is up to the technical specialist. I wonder where she is from? ;)
