Ooo they got second place!

Well the Vasilisa and Valerii fans are well pleased.

Fantastic result - and well deserved for K/A! I'm set up for the day

im absolutely ectatic that my children Vasilisa and Valery won gold

I feel kinda bad for Liza she looked so upset

The girls planned content is basically the same as it always has been the only one doing something different is Adeliya who is adding a 4F.
I kinda guessed she would but I was hoping she would just stick to her 3A instead. If she makes a mistake and the other go semi clean they will overtake her easily based on how she was scored vs the other this season.

My live impression and the reaction of the audience (not the level of couples but originality of the dances and memorability!)
1. Kaganovskaya/Angelopol
2. Zhdanova/Babaev-Smirnov
3. Shanaeva/Drozd
4. Matveishina/Subbotin
5. Mironova/Ustenko

I expected K/A to win if clean. But the top 3 was still unpredictable. It all depended on the small details. It seemed to me that Angelopol was a bit shaky in the RD.

Eek time for the ladies.

Also, I've been meaning to ask this...what's with all the geese stuffies? Did Untitled Goose Game suddenly make it big in Russia?

And why is Fro-Lo the only one wearing a white warm up jacket?

Questions, questions!

So nervous for Samo

I kind prefer the white one, the red is too bright on my eyes!

Nice to see Veronika Y getting so much love! Her SP is legendary.

Sh/D's StaLi was reduced to level 1. That's why the lost. K/A also had flaws, for example, RoLi is only level 3.

I'm still baffled by Maxim T being here as a commentator for the ladies. I mean I like Max, but it's still weird.

Or is commentating his main gig now? In which case I guess it makes sense, old Dick Button never skated in ladies singles either.

All participants were given red jackets. Even the dancers in the first warm-up had them. They also have white jackets that they were given at Nationals.

Heh maybe she has my problem, the red does weird things to her eyes.

(I think it's from my astigmatism, but the red just sort of...pushes out and overwhelms all the other colours).

Like that girls dress right there. It's just a red blob!

I like the red to be little darker, this is very bright red it kinda comes off as little orangy to me

redhead support!

OK, we kick off proceedings with a unitard! Always welcome!

Good luck Veronika F.

The last 4 is going to crazy. Muravieva is too far back with no quads. Kamila landed the 4T+2A easily in training earlier, then it said she butterflied on the second 4T. Maybe it was on purpose on the second 4T. I don't think Adelia will jump three clean quads. I expect Tuktik to go clean I think she can get gold if Kamila falls on one her quads.

This music is making me think of James Bond movies for some reason.
