The yellow and balloons look a bit out of place, but I appreciate that its not just nude and grey and black

 

[elektra blue]

yeah, I didn't want to put it so bluntly, but she could use a rewamp, this would improve her skating and scores.

don't worry, that's what i'm here for

Katya always struggles with urs and 1 or 2 bad landings but honestly that was a good skate for Katya
I just wish she would skate to something less juvenile once in awhile

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Lovely Katia, will not stay ahead of Chaeyeon but always a pleasure to watch.

 

[nickp91]

ekaterina is always a joy to watch skate

Ekatrina is so cute and a great emotive skater, I just really really wished someone changed her packaging a little...

I think they're leaning into her being cute and joyful too much. A lot of her choreo is very theatrical, at times even pantomime-like, and while she has the charisma and expression to pull that off, I would like to see her do something else once in a while too.

Kind of like Evgenia Medvedeva, who had a very similar pantomime vibe in many of her programs but was able to expand her artistic arsenal later on in her career, and found a mostly happy medium between her natural theatrical nature and a more toned done artistic expression.

 

[EdgeCall]

Not perfectly clean but still good. And heartwarming as ever.

I think it would be a fun experiment if Amber and Katia changed their programs...

That would be a cool idea for a skating show or pro competition or something.

Program swap!

I always enjoy Katia K, some rough jumps here, but I love seeing her smile

I actually LOVE the color and cut of the dress it is timeless and really flattering on her. Balloons are a bit much but

And there will be some today too, says Mika.

Kurakova starts with the most difficult combo 3Lz+3F. But in the end she is still 12 points behind Chaeyeon in tech before reviews.

 

[labgoat]

That absolutely does not look easy Belinda

signed, someone who is super inflexible

Ina bauer was my favorite move to do a long time ago

 

[EdgeCall]

don't worry, that's what i'm here for

Does it mean that you are planning to force-adopt her?

 

[TT_Fin]

There is fog and it the reason maybe the amount the audience, ice may be very soft in the end.

 

[GGFan]

Ekaterina's performance was so charming the first time she did it several years ago.

 

[emilinkaa]

Her music was cute, but I feel like it was too bubblegum happy and not the right pace for her

 

[Vemvane]

Katya, the ray of sunshine, in her cheerful dress. What a unique opening combination, that Lz-eu-F, though alas for the underrotations, which just keep knocking her down. Loved to see the twizzles with her head back in the step sequence, something I don't see a lot of skaters do. Dear judges, do give her good presentation/performance PCS, please.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Katia has tried other styles, FWIW, but not usually been rewarded for them (like the SP she had for most of last year)

 

[elektra blue]

no that's mean i'm here to express all the bluntness you don't dare to express

I have noticed that! I haven't seen that in a Japanese ice rink before.

Ouch judges? 9th?

Anywhere here's Bradie to remind us of the dangers of climate change!
