Well ok, some jumps under review, but it was still beautiful skated

Long limbed elegance of this skater. Looking forward to watching her progress!

and how many latin R&D a dad can take?

At a push, one.

Any more and this happens:

You've been tangoed!!!

(I've been waiting for the perfect opportunity to use that all season, and when I finally do, it's not even in an Ice Dance thread! )

Score: 59.50

Mia is improving, I think that is clear, but her skating skills aren't quite there yet for me.

On a shallow note, US ladies usually does pink dresses really well For sure Karen Chen had a similar one? Not sure it was really bright pink though.

Score: 52.90

Elyce might just be my favourite US Junior currently. Yes, she is inconsistent, but her skating is just simply gorgeous (and as are her jumps when they work out).

This dress makes me want to become a painter.

Could you not wait a couple of minutes to see SuperSimone the Sloth?

When I saw Stefania was skating to this song, I thought "Thank goodness it's a cover and not Elvis". Because I'm not a big fan of Elvis.

But, that cover was brutal! When I read that it was a dark version, I was expecting it to be another version I had heard. But, the version I was expecting only appeared for the last 20 seconds or so of the programme.

Oooh. Horrible stumble just after the music changed toward the end. But, on the whole, not a bad skate.

She seemed annoyed. But, at least she had SuperSimone to cuddle!

Into 16th.

WELL DONE STEFANIA!!!

Brocket Hall by Harry Lieghtfoot

3T+2T
3Lo
FCSp4
2A
StSq2
CCoSp4
LSp3

Score: 49.21

Look, it's mini-Valieva - Though she reminds me less of Kami today, for some reason. This was a better skate than at her last JGP, a bit more bite and attack in her skating here.

 

[EdgeCall]

First time I have seem Valentina, but this was impressive.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Alena-inspired dress, but I like it. Nice skater for Germany Her spins

Awwww!!!! Thank you so much Beatrice!!!



It was an enjoyable performance. Just a real pity about the stumble.

Awww. I love that you got SuperSimone in the background of two of the pictures!

Could you see SuperSimone watching at the boards during the warm-up from where you are sitting? I thought that was so cute!

Hope you are enjoying your day so far, and continue to do so.
