Now that dress - Valeriya is it? - is absolutely gorgeous.

You mean the first skater? Mainly sky blue dress with a white skirt part and overlap at the front. And an embroidered pattern on the back.

If it is that dress, yep, I agree!

I loved Valeriya's music too. Very traditional sounding. It would fit in well to that thread about ethnic music in The Edge.

Just a pity about the fall.

Anastassiya ENGELGARDT (KAZ) had to wait a VERY long time for her scores. Which is never a good sign.

And it wasn't. She dropped to 2nd position in both FS and overall.

Well, I suppose two falls don't help your chances.

That's the one, it's the most beautiful so far this year. I'm just dipping in and out (combination of having an assignment to work on and Yuzu's announcement that has made said work impossible for fizzing) but I just loved it!

It wasn't a long time ago that Muse's "Exogenesis Symphony" was a warhorse. But we hardly ever hear it now.

Not that I am complaining. I love it when skaters use it.

Beautiful turquoise dress.

Still nobody has gone clean yet. Zere SARBALINA (KAZ) had one fall.

She goes into 2nd in the FS, but holds onto the overall lead.

First international skater of the competition. Although, unless there is an Aktobe in South Africa that Google does not know about, Jasmine COETZEE (ZAF) was born here in Kazakhstan.

Beautiful sky blue dress.

Do we have a Maurizio Zandron fan? I always think of him when I hear this music. (Of course I do! He kept using that programme for enough years!)

Yet another fall. Are the female Juniors today trying to make up for their male counterparts going so well yesterday?

Awww, she's sitting all on her own today again. :ghug:

But, she has gone into a massive lead in both FS and overall!

EVANESENCE!!!!!!!!! :rock: :rock: :rock:

I love "Bring Me To Life"!!!!!! :rock: :rock: :rock: Another song that doesn't get skated to enough any more.

Certainly wasn't expecting to hear anything like that when Veronika KOVALENKO (KAZ) came out in a white dress. OK, so it does have a rather large black embroidered pattern on the front, but it is still mainly white.

Such a pity about the two falls. Because I was really enjoying that programme.

And then the final spin was mostly after the music had finished.

So, she is probably going to have three points worth of deductions.

Yep, she does. But she still goes into 2nd in both FS and overall.

Ach!!!! It's happened again. I know this music, and seen it skated to so many times, but my mind has gone blank. :bang:

Oh. Two falls in quick succession.

Make that three.

Oh, the music has changed to a song that I don't know.

Just about avoided another fall.

And again.

The next combination jump was nice, though.

I feel so sorry for Amira IRMATOVA (KAZ). I loved her yesterday, but she had so many mistakes today. She's going to go plunging down the order.

It's worse than I thought! She is last in both FS and overall. :eek:

:ghug:

How do you keep track of two daughters in the one group?! :drama:

Right, they've picked up Vasilisa. And then cut away as she was lining up a jump! :mad:

Now they're following Varvara, until she got hidden behind the box. (I told you she was tiny!)

Switched to Vasilisa. Very nice jump!

Just about saw Varvara do a nice jump way in the background of another skater's shot.

Another lovely jump from Vasilisa when the camera was focussed on her.

Ach, they were focussing on Varvara, and cut to another skater just as she was taking off! :mad:

But shortly afterwards we saw her landing a nice jump in the background of a shot.

Boys, this post was hard work! :drama: But, they both looked good, and that is the main thing!

Can it be? Am I imagining things? Did we actually have a clean skate?! :jaw:

Anna SANNIKOVA (KAZ) has just raised the bar in this competition considerably.

I loved that! Beautiful black dress. Epic music. And great skating!

She already had a decent lead over the Group 1 skaters from the SP. But, she is going to extend it by a large margin.

Yep. Massive leads in both FS and overall.

And deservedly so!

She's delighted!

Anna IUSHCHENKOVA (ISR) has music that sounds mediaeval to me.

Popped first jump. Well at least it wasn't a fall.

Eh? Was that dialogue part of the music, or was it interference coming from somewhere?

Aha, now into more familiar music. But then back to the Middle Ages.

Apart from the initial mistake, that was good.

She looked very disappointed when she finished.

Now the question is, is it enough to take the lead? She had a few points advantage over Sannikova from the SP. But Sannikova was very good there now.

No. She goes into 2nd in both FS and overall.

Is it me trying to watch 2 streams at the same time? Will I try to watch 3 when JGP starts? What a stupid question...

What a jump for her first element!

Very nearly went too far on the second jump. It was massive!

Ach, messed up the landing on the second part of the combination jump.

Combination spin was impressive.

Ach, fall on next jump. Was she spooked thinking the boards were too close?

Not a great landing on next jump.

Fall on next jump.

There goes the chances of having two Cypriot flags above the podium.

Lovely combination jump near the end. But messed up the next spin.

It was clear that the first fall was praying on her mind. And she made more mistakes as a result.

Hopefully the lead she had over Sannikova from the SP will mean she doesn't drop any positions.

Nope. 4th in the FS and 3rd overall.

Well, I suppose we should take heart that when it is done clean, this programme will be really impressive.

Better luck next time, Varvara!

Veronika KIM (KAZ) may have had a fall on her first element, but otherwise she was very good!

Lots of shouting from the audience. And gifts thrown down for her. Including a rather large cuddly toy.

I wonder if she is a local girl from Astana. Her ISU Bio doesn't tell us much about her.

She goes into a massive lead in both FS and overall.

And she gets massive cheers from the audience!

She has!

:cheer: ALL THE BEST VASILISA!!! :cheer:

Very familiar music this is!

Effortless combination jump to start with!

And the same for the sequence of jumps that she did next.

Same for the next jump and the spins that followed!

Everything is coming effortlessly!

I know I'm sounding like a stuck record, but I can't think of anything else to say. Everything looks so easy and faultless for her.

Until the very last jump. When she fell.

Well, it shows she's human!

But she made up for it with the spins she finished with.

Vasilisa is going to win this by a country mile! No doubt about that.

She wins the FS by 16.08 points and overall by 18.87 points.

She's happy. And so she should be!

Awww, she waved the cuddly toys at us! :love:

:cheer: WELL DONE VASILISA!!! :cheer:
