Veronika KOVALENKO KAZ in white dress with silver trim skates with power and a much livelier piece of music. She is waking me up after Muse - Zere does have the current lead. the dress seems a mismatch for the music. Very good speed on her spins as well. Lets see if she can take the lead, depends on how much her tech falls. I liked this music on her better than her SP.
 
You all know that I am not a fan of skating in white dreses that blend in with the ice. But, I am having difficulty getting my head around the idea of somebody skating to Evanesence in a white dress. Those two things just don't go together in my head.

That said, it is a beautiful dress. And, fall aside, Veronika skated really well. She was really feeling the music.

Into the lead of both FS and overall. But, boy's it is close in the FS (just 0.19 points ahead of Zere).

I liked her wee "oh" when the scores came up! :biggrin:

Varvara in black gets Clubbed to Death from the Matrix. This piece seldom gets old for me. A bit dicey on the landing edges of her jumps but she hangs on. Will she dare to skate close to the judges like Kaori? Spins a bit slow. Tech not high enough- 6th.

Yipes! That picture is scary.

Especially when seeing it comes barely a week after an ice hockey player died after getting his neck cut by a blade during a match.

Oh dear - I think I will remove that picture then.
 
Anna SHENIUK ISR in red dress with black tights skates to Roxanne. She has a lot of presence - too bad it had to be as Roxanne. Ahead in tech despite some tight landings and step-outs. Into the lead.

And too bad that it is the growling version of the song too! I may not be a fan of the version that normally gets used, but at least it is easier to listen to than this one.

But, she takes the lead of both FS and overall.

Alika KHALIMOVA KAZ in mauve with black hem and gloves and corset. Nice polish and presentation on her spins. Nice power and lift on her jumps. Aborted loop. Oh a split jump that has real split - me like! Oh no the jumps are going down and 3S is REP. Too bad as she is a lively skater with power and style and good technique. On replay the split is not a split as I originally thought.
 
Now, this is one of the cases where I wish that the skater's ISU Bio had everything filled out. Because I really liked the music that Alika was skating to, but I have no idea what it was. I don't think I've ever heard it before, but it was great for skating to. And I would like to see it skated to again.

Ouch. Into 9th in the FS, and 4th overall.

Well, that's what 3 points in deductions can do.

too bad Jasmine bombed her short, cause she should be higher.
 
Warm-Up Group 4
15 Anna IUSHCHENKOVA ISR
16 Eunbi PARK KOR
17 Inga GURGENIDZE GEO
18 Inkyong PARK KOR
19 Stefania YAKOVLEVA CYP
 
Now this group is interesting. I really liked Anna I in the short, more than Anna S. Eunbi & Inkyong are more lovely, stylish polished Koreans, Inga has great height on those jumps and Stefania is our leader who impressed me last time I saw her.
 
Really glad that the division between the groups is where it is, because these 5 skaters are the only skaters that are going into this with a realistic chance of fighting for the title.

Oooh, Stefania flying across the camera shot like a blur when the camera was zoomed on another skater!

Didn't get to see much of her actually.

Music problems for Anna IUSHCHENKOVA (ISR). That's not a good omen.

First we hear a note, and immediately it goes off. After a while she goes over to the panel, and then gets back into position. And waits. And waits. And then starts going around the rink, before being announced again.

Aha! It was the wrong music that they attempted to play the first time. The person controlling it must have realised instantly, and that was why it was stopped so quickly.

Anna didn't seem rattled by it all. That was a really good skate.

Anna IUSHCHENKOVA ISR in dark burgundy. Music problem to start. Romeo & Juliet instrumental piano with 3LZ-3T and 3S and 3Lo solid. A Time for Love vocal plays. She is jump oriented with posing and pointing as style. - not enough there for me this time Very good spins and excellent jumps.
 
Oooh, who is that sitting with Anna IUSHCHENKOVA ? I wonder if it is one of her team-mates, because she doesn't look old enough to be her coach.

Whoever she is, she's very pretty! :love:

Eunbi PARK KOR - I am going to have to train myself on how to say her name. She wears lavender dress skating to Mendelssohn Violin Concerto. She is very neat and clean on her jumps and spins. My stream is skipping a bit. Going to be close.
