Whatever, haters! I love this program. So charming...I'd watch this 1000x over Caro's programs.

Are the Russian fans chanting Alina's name while Kaori is still waiting for her scores?

 

[anonymoose_au]

The Russian cheer squad have started up!

They're chanting for Alina...I am gulping.

Kaori's skate was fabulous though!

 

[OS]

Missing Wakaba sooo much!!!

Wakabond is so much better than this. sorry to say. No time wasting miming needed.

 

[firal]

Kaori's program is so hilariously bad; but I love her though. Looking forward to her getting new programs next season.

 

[satine]

I have a sinking feeling Alina won't go clean

I've seen so many Amelie programs, but there are only two that I really really love. The first was the romance of Hawayek and Baker's FD. This is the other. It's so quirky and charming, and captures the feel of the character of Amelie better than anyone else I've seen.

She's got a bright future.

 

[MiRé]

Russians in the crowd are SO RUDE. You DO NOT CHANT while waiting for scores. JESUS

 

[alpaca]

Oh my that Russian cheer squad.

Here. We. Go.

Kaori almost had her Midori Ito Oly moment debut but for that loop. Still, she's great fun to watch.

 

[schizoanalyst]

For the record, I thought packaging Zagitova as Kitri was misguided. She never finishes a movement and it’s all so sloppy. Kitri traditionally is done with precision and dramatic held positions. She sometimes does it on the flip a bit but otherwise not really and to invoke it makes her look bad by comparison. It’s cute when you're a junior, like a child playing dress-up, but it looks dumb when you’re a senior competitor. Though no judge agrees with me so what do I know.

But best of luck, go get that nice 3Lz+3Lo!

 

[flaneur]

kurt just compared her style to midori ito... and i agree.

 

[Fruit Loops]

The program suits her age. She can be a diva later.

 

[rollerblade]

Eteri, what are you saying to Alina? She looks more nervous after that pep talk!

Kaori's skate was fabulous though!

So not classy to do that while Kaori is still waiting for her scores. I thought that this kind of behavior was limited to Sochi, but apparently not.

 

[kresslia]

I'm not ready for these last 3

 

[Anni234]

Alina!!!

 

[msaidi]

I know! I'm so glad that at least some other people here like it I absolutely adore that program!

It’s my favorite !!! (with Caro short and Osmond’s SP)
