Very solid skate from Gao, quite slow on the final combination spin but jumps well landed and interpretation strong, she should get a good second mark. They are now showing slow mo of her coach counting her spin revolutions. 112.16. She would have liked a bit more...

Thanks. Hey, I thought Glebova was a blonde?!
She got slammed on PCS being in the second group. She scored 54.91 vs. 56.98 at SA. I think she may have lost a few levels on her spins.

Oh dear, Glebova off to a poor start.
I think she will have it by Nationals. She said at SA that she was working on it.

Two points difference isn't a ton, especially considering her SA LP was skated better IMO.
I'm happy she came back from a poor performance and proved that her performance at SA was not a fluke. If anything, that poor performance we saw from her yesterday might be more of a fluke....(I hope).
She's been working on the 3F/3T for several years, but it's never been as consistent at her 3T/3T--which, the SP here showed is not fully consistent either.
The fact that she has a 3Lo in the SP instead of the 3F tells me that she doesn't trust her 3F enough--she's very careful in her approach to it in the FS. I don't think we're going to see a 3F/3T from Christina any time soon.
Here is a comparison...form SA to TEB.
SS TR PE CH IN
7.25 6.79 7.29 7.25 7.04
7.00 6.61 7.07 6.82 6.82
You're right to some extent, it wasn't a big drop; but still I think it would have been slightly higher if she was in the top group.
Well if that's the case then why does she have two 3F in her FS? I don't think her 3F-3T was that bad in the past. I personally think she can bring it back.
ETA: I realize it's partially because she has a flutz, but she could just as well do two 3L instead....it's not that much lower in BV.
LOL. Well, I guess you'll just have to see how far she can go and hope it's not one of your ultra faves that is behind her.
Pretty sure it's because she's terrible at doing a flip out of linking steps...why do it if it's going to get negative GOE despite the quality of the actual jump.
