That transition for piano to orchestra is just too spooky that gives me shivers and goosebumps every time

If only that dress would be dark green or blue... Why grey? But it's better than these fluorescent colours :laugh:

A beautiful skater but lacks a connection to the audience/story. Her technical and execution is just about there but that last touch of magic is missing and it's a shame. That eye contact, That opening out to the audience instead of being so internal.

This music has a couple of beautiful parts but around 90% of it is really boring and anticlimactic. It's fine to put on if you are trying to fall asleep but for an entertaining program I wish she'd head towards a different route.

Now, I'm fully expecting Sotskova to lose to Kostner destpite Kostner performing about 3 triples. But let's see.

If they score Maria lower than Carolina I'll be very, very mad.

She actually improves in interpreting this program. Nice!

Maria is improving! I'm always in favor of Debussy and I think she did a lovely job (other than the tanos). I saw actual joy in her skating! :love:

STOP PRESS: she actually did a triple loop without the arm up - or was I seeing things?

Her skating fails to engage me though. I'm looking forward to Wakaba's Bond programme. Yeah!

All those gorgeous details on the dress... wasted. You cannot see details when they're almost the same color as the dress, sweetie. Get rid of the grey!

+2T +2T +1Lo2S were Kostner's amazing combination jumps for that 140+ score. I guess being able to jump triples in combinations really is quite pointless nowadays.



Is it effortless when she needs 10 seconds of crossovers beforehand to achieve it?

10 seconds Put 20 in there for some of the jumps.
This season, 18% of her program this season was obvious jump setups.

It must be said that Maria's hair color and makeup give the impression that she was styled by a Japanese street fashion girl
