I was having the same thing during Veronik's skate, I thought it might have been due to switching to full-screen mode but maybe not.

I wondered that too - but it was as the stream was lagging behind and was trying to catch up... And then it froze completely. And now it's fine (touch wood!)

Fleur Maxwell had quite possibly the oldest PB of any active skater - from 2005! Good for her for finally getting a new one and for the judges who recognized that her PCS should be higher despite not having great tech.

Hoping that both Leonova and Tuktamysheva will skate the way the did in the shorts. Good luck to everyone competing there!

Leonova actually has an incredible LP, I don't think I ever saw such a good one of her. What I like is that she doesn't do her usual "play" instead she is very elegant and graceful.

Btw. is it just me or are there not a lot of people currently tuned in to the LP of the ladies. Is this the "no interest" in FS that so many Americans always talk about or do you just all have to work now

Seems like a good idea to wait until everyone is here and then post all the reviews in one post than in many so that stuff isn't so spread out.

Last group will start in a few minutes so if you are not yet tuned in do it now. Alena if clean seems to be the favorite based on the practice session this morning. That said, I love the program of Mariah to Titanic so emotional - you have a little jewel there, she will make a wonderful show skater in future.

Well,

she had a long break before last season so this is understandable I guess. I agree that her PCs should be higher, I love her style on the ice, its a real lady skate f she would be an American then she could make a lot of money.

 

[Meoima]

Gracie has a great dress!

 

[samson]

Dear god the sound affects at this competition.

 

[SaraM]

Leonova new free is pretty cool! Liked it!

 

[Mirunna]

It' been ages since Alena skated so well. And she went for the 3F-3T (probably Ur and with problems, but she held nothing back).
Lovely dress, elegant and pleasantly good LP.
Welcome back!

 

[Meoima]

Elena, don't do Illusion spin. :scowl:

Welcome back!

I would say just half elegant.

 

[Mirunna]

I would say just half elegant.

Maybe my expectations were to low and I was surprised
Gracie - no 3T after the first 3Lz and singled the second 3Lz. And the program is generic and she is a bit robotic. I must say I enjoyed her far less than Alena. However her posture is much better than I remembered. To me, she should not beat Alena (at least not overall)

 

[Interspectator]

Gracie! Muuuch better than her SP. I like her long program and dress even if it is POTO. :thumbsup:

 

[samson]

Wow I'm kind of surprised Gracie outscored Alena in the free. Only by a point, but still
