She'll win gold as expected, and now I seriously need to go to bed. Thank you all for keeping me company, see you tomorrow

Sofia's costume is totally different without the black tights. It's better.
Is it my headache which makes me see one 3A and THREE quads or what?
That was a good save on the 3A.

Yesss!!!

Our slovakian neighbours would say "Takto sa to robí!"

Sofia casually winning this event by 40ish points Fantastic skate and I love this program, congrats girl! I like the dress much better with the tan tights too.

 

[Jontor]

Wow Sofia!


She is already so much better than the 3A was at this age.

 

[breadstal]

insane lol

 

[flanker]

Considering the scoring here she won't top Krasnoyarsk, but this was an amazing skate.

Edit: yes, but still huge score before this strange judging panel. Just count five points more with a normal one

This girl has another junior season. She won't even be a senior next season, because of 7 days. Lucky are the ones who are competing without her now.

 

[Skatesocs]

Only she can stop herself from being JWC this season.

 

[flanker]

Sofia rocks it, Queen!

 

[snowflake]

OMG Sofia insane with another international junior season for you to come haha.

Well, I expect a lot of rule changes from the ISU after this Olympic season. Maybe one rule change is to extend the age eligibility by one week??

Sofia has a lot of great qualities but somehow her skating leaves me cold

 

[ana]

Well deserved win for Sofia.
Congratulations to all medalists!
I hope Clara Seo will fix her jump. She is a such beautiful skater.

They don't have to wear face mask on podium, great

I have always loved Sofia's precise, uncluttered skating. I can see why she leaves people cold, she's not "showy", but there is a perfection in her skating that I appreciate.
