I liked Anastasia Galustyan from Armenia - so much life in her. I think she was underscored - she thinks the same: was visibly dissappointed with the numbers.
I hope Maria will hold up for her long program. After a growth spurt, injury, and lack of international competition since JGPF last year, it's unlikely she will skate a clean LP, but hope she will minimize her mistakes and get to the top two. She will also be skating a new program.
It's amazing how Amber Glenn has the highest components of all the girls.
The judges probably want to see an American girl in the Final.
As for me they'd better support Karen Chen, she has charisma, speed, beautiful lines. I don't think Amber will make it.
