Predicting 56-57 for Li

Li really has wonderful potential, but I think that music was all wrong for her. Lovely layback though--really interesting position.

Her LP music suits her more. Hope she does what she did at 4CC later this week!

Predicting 56-57 for Li

And you were correct.. 56.31 for Zijun Li.

And you were correct.. 56.31 for Zijun Li.

damn, the British Eurosport stream is a little behind. I'm getting the scores from the ISU website.

Lu chen's coach is ageless

Considering when she started coaching Chen Lu, she was only 18...

I agree - love her long! The dress is gorgeous too.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Did Ashley ever get her skates back? What a nightmare that must be.

 

[leafygreens]

Elene's not even going to qualify for the free skate!

 

[pitterpatter]

nerves + sleepiness don't mix well...

Well one more group to go. Yuna handily ahead and that's with "phoning it in." Imagine how far ahead she'd be if old Yuna had shown up with head fully in the game.

Mao and Kanako need to rotate or they will be crunched by this panel.
Ashley should skip the 3-3 and just do her safe, confident 3-2 cleanly.

you must be joking.

I'm feeling so nervous for Ashley, Mao and Carolina now. Ahhhhhh.

It is better to avoid some comments about the appearance/costumes of ladies, those girls are very young ladies.

You know, with the way this is going, the door appears to be WIDE open for Ashley Wagner and Carolina Kostner. Yuna was good, but uninspired. If these two skate inspired programs with their content, they can score better than Yuna did with her lost levels and PCS in the low and middle 8.0's.

This is getting INTERESTING. USA could still hope for three spots based on this so far....

Biting my nails, esp for Kanako...

It does bother me that someone with Katerina Witt-like difficulty can place so high.

Sigh.... Yes, I dont get it!
I think Glebova was underscored.
Liza and Helgesson overscored. Sorry, Liza, but 2 elements missed... And that scores higher than Glebova??

I also wished they changed Liza's costume.. It is awful. Not only the tights. But the cut of her dress is just bad.

 

[Icey]

I have the uneasy feeling some bad surprises lie ahead.

 

[prettykeys]

Wow. Mao and Carolina looking energetic and determined. Carolina just landed a beautiful triple

Of the last group, 4 or 5 have the potential to score ahead of Gracie headed into the FS. Ashley needs a high, high placement, but she should be able to do it if she doesn't fall apart.

Why do i get the feeling that Alena is going to save Russia's **** again and be the top finisher and squeaking in 3 spots
