Oooh congrats to Nina Polsak (SLO) who increased her PB FS by 12 points and her Total Score PB by 16 points!

And then when I get the stream to work some girl jumps right into the boards shoulder first during the warm ups :hopelessness:

35 skaters * 7 minutes per skater (counting K&C time, etc) plus warmups and 2 Zamboni breaks...

Yup we'll be here awhile

Joining later. Now that Daniella has withdrawn, it's made the decison over whether to stick with the Nebelhorn until their Ladies FS is finished or come over here from the start easier.

Is Daniella okay? Wonder why she withdrew. I know she had a rough SP.

i watched Yuna's Die Fledermaus other day and thought it was one of her underrated programs, one of my favourite part is lovely use of ina bauer before her 2A

Alexandra FEIGIN (BUL) was lovely. She raised her PB almost by 30 points.

I was talking to her Mum about half an hour ago. Now, I didn't get a chance to ask if I should go into details on here, but the gist of it is that Daniella was not well when she woke up this morning. She went to 2 doctors (the Russian team doctor and an ISU doctor), and they said she had a virus and advised her to withdraw.

She's in bed now.

So, I would say that was why things didn't go well in the SP on Thursday. It wasn't just nerves (as I thought); it was the early stages of this illness.

I wish her all the best for her recovery.

With the skaters that have gone so far raising the bar Sarah will have to bring her best if she hopes to stay in the top 10! But after her warm-up I am afraid she is going to be dropping way down!

Genetic freak of nature on Michael Jordan level.
Body type, vertical spring, looks, arms shape etc.. Add innate features like musicality, elegance and femininity to that and you have figure skating monster.
Still, I feel like early (15-17) Yuna was not as fluent and precise in her movements as todays Marin, would you agree? :think:

Anastasia GOZHVA (UKR) was also a little performer, so fun to watch. It is a pity that performing abilities always go same with jumps...
