Hosting the atream on twitch is great. They mute the copyright strikes instead removing the entire stream.

I know, I was really glad that I at least got to SEE the skater and their work was not punished.

Anthea Gradinaru is today's Bond Girl. Nice big powerful jumps. Her arms are still a bit placed and not as natural as some of the other girls.

 

[EdgeCall]

I've heard better Bond soundtracks but Anthea was decent.

The men are not exactly slouches either. And that's the reason why I'm still puzzled Swiss Nats got so neglected this time.

Sometimes I think there are so many events going on and the demands of life get in the way and things get missed. I am so glad that you asked for help so I could pull together a Rewatch for them. BTW Lukas and Noah were my men faves.

Now for my new find Sara Franzi - she is my new rising star. I saw her earlier this year and fell in love with her fresh look. Unfortunately she is struggling today a lot.

Yep, they stood out. Noah had a little trouble with the tech but his expressiveness is, pardon the pun, impressive.

Oh dear Sara, you are truly great but please stay on your feet!

At least she can smile about it.

I think maybe Sara was a bit overwhelmed being in second. I know she can do all this content from seeing her earlier. I think all her elements are good and I love her posture and speed. Today not much was working though. I do not remember her age.

 

[labgoat]

Now for Kimmy...I hope her injuries are healing wish her the best today.

She turns 18 in January.

Clean! Do it again Kimmy. At Euros and Worlds.

Couple of possible URs though. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[labgoat]

Well that settles that - Kimmy attacked that program and showed us all what she can do. Congratulations my dear that was a Championship skate.

 

[labgoat]

She turns 18 in January.

She seems to project young in height and presence. I still love her.

 

[EdgeCall]

Unfortunately I have to leave now. Please cheer for the men for me.

 

[labgoat]

Unfortunately I cannot stay for the men today - replays for me as I am off to church.

Watching the men. Starting now with Micha Steffen...

 

[ladyjane]

No falls or anything. Nice to watch. A few small mistakes, but he's not a quadruple guy!

 

[ladyjane]

Georgii Pavlov: I love the way he recovered from his fall - with a sliding move!

 

[ladyjane]

Nico Steffen: a pity about the pop in the midst of the programme. And a two footed axel. Still nice to watch!

 

[yuumagical]

Didn't see the two-footed axel, it looked great to me.

 

[ladyjane]

Noah Bodenstein: nice looking but that's a lot of doubles (or is that me), falling on a spin?
