Doing better today. Made myself get up and walk around today and also ate some real food. 2 pairs groups done. Not sure if I'll be able to stay for 5 more groups.

Really concerned to see if U.S. Alexa Knieram takes the ice in the next group. Very worried that she didn't skate yesterday.
 

:eek: At Evgenia's jumps. And all the other jumping passes she's done during practices, according to reports. And I mean that in a good way! -3Lo rotations are tough, and she's got them very clean!

Also, I never really noticed in her competition dresses, but in her practice clothes it's evident how much she's filled out physically since last year - which isn't a bad thing! She has handled her growth astonishingly well; it's not as if she hasn't grown much, like I originally thought.

She looks kind of slow/labored from that angle, but maybe it's just cautiousness when there are other girls out there.

WoW.

Is the second throw the Quad?

I need videos;)
 
Ladies starting order (some parts)

8. Kostner

32. Medvedeva
33 Daleman
34 Wagner
35 Sotskova
36 Hongo
37 Pogorilaya
 
I wonder if they do it on purpose... It looks pretty stacked towards the end.

Yes. Those from 32 to 37 were their own separate group. Then there were 11 people in the next group and last 20 in the same group. Why Kostner was in that group? I do not know.

Stolbova landed the throws in their fp runthrough


Given all jolly news about the top pair teams, this pair event is gonna be very flavorful. :hap10:
 
This far, SM and TM looking sharpest. SK okay but some struggles with the 3tw and jumps, plus some lifts looked laboured. The canadians up next!

Yes, I've been thinking how Pairs is such an exciting and interesting event these days because so many are distinctive and great in their own ways. Indeed flavorful. :yes:
