2024 IceChallenge | Nov 4-10

Sorry, I had to pop off and do something at the end of the first skater, so I am now playing catch-up.

But, I just wanted to say that I reckon my theory about Žiga JEVNIK (SVN) and Klara JEVNIK (SVN) being siblings may be correct. Because when he was sitting waiting for his scores with his coach, a girl in her skating costume was running around taking photos of them.

So, I am predicting now that when Klara comes out to do her FS programme at the start of Group 2 in the next competition, she will be wearing a beautiful sky blue dress.

Hey, what happened to the end of Erin SAILOR (GBR)'s programme?! The stream skipped from during her programme, to the next skater, Hana OPERČKAL (SVN), being introduced.

I was really enjoying Erin's programme!!! :drama:

OK, so it wasn't Klara JEVNIK (SVN) taking the photos of Žiga JEVNIK (SVN) earlier. Hana OPERČKAL (SVN) was the photographer.

Klara is actually wearing a turquoise dress. And she is not as tall as Hana (I should have remembered from yesterday that Klara is tiny).

But she skated very well!

She went into the lead.

Tea SAJKO (HRV) is skating to "Tomorrow" from "Annie"!!!!!! :cheer: :clap: :rock: :party2: :points: :hb:

Music from "Annie" always makes me emotional. Because I was in a production of it when I was at school. (I was only an extra, but still).

But, I am really disappointed that she is not wearing red. She is wearing a grey jumpsuit. And a very short one at that.

"Hard Knock Life" now.

Change of costume!!! We have a red dress after all!!! A lot fancier than Little Orphan Annie's dress, though. Tea was wearing a sweetheart dress, with sparkly trim.

New leader.

So it took us until near the end of the sixth competition of the event for us to get our first "Voilà". Courtesy of Anna SERGIENKO (SVN).

She slotted into 3rd in the FS, and 2nd overall.

I liked that.

We started off with four Croatian girls. And when waiting for their scores, they were all sitting supporting each other in various combinations (obviously, in each case, the next girl to skate wasn't there). Culminating in all of them sitting together for the last girl.

That is so lovely to see.

I correct myself. I wound back the stream to check the combinations, and it was actually three of the Croatian girls (#1 Marta BABIĆ, #3 Bruna BARIĆ, and #4 Marta KAIĆ) and #5 Anhelina MIAKTOVA (UKR) that were supporting each other.

It turns out that they all belong to the same club, Leda in Zagreb. And the four of them had a group photo taken with their coach while Marta Babić was waiting for her scores. (The other Croatian girl, #2 Tara PLAHUTAR, belongs to a different club in Zagreb, so this was a good time to do it).

I just love it when you see the camaraderie between skaters.

Resurfacing over. Final group on the ice.

We are on the static camera behind the stands with the running order covering most of the screen, so there is no point in me even attempting to try to spot Vasilisa and follow her around the ice.

A "Little Mermaid" programme :cheer:

With dialogue. :eek:

Ula ZADNIKAR (SVN) was wearing a dress that actually did a good impression of fish scales.

The funny thing is that when I was looking up skater #5 Anhelina MIAKTOVA (UKR) earlier to check if she was based in Croatia, I saw a photo of her on the rocks dressed as a mermaid.

But, that is getting off topic.

Ula goes into the lead of both FS and overall.

Time for the leader from the SP.

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

Awww. Vasilisa and her Mum do some special hand thing to send her off.

Fall on first jump! :jaw:

Sequence of jumps she did next was good, although the last jump was possibly under-rotated.

Nice choreographic sequence.

But then another fall on a jump.

The combination spin she did next made up for it. It was beautiful.

And so was the next jump.

Nice choreography. But completely popped the jump that followed.

The mistakes are starting to play on her mind. The first part of the next combination jump looked a bit ragged. Second part was lovely, though.

Combination spin beautiful, but almost verging on too fast.

Final jump and Layback spin at end beautiful. Although, finished a bit later than the music.

This was a real mixed bag. A lot of mistakes. But the good stuff was as sublime as I have got used to from Vasilisa.

Waves and hearts from both mother and daughter.

Vasilisa still manages to comfortably win overall. But she is 2nd in the FS (only 0.43 behind Nela ŠNEBERGEROVÁ, though).

They do a high 5 after the scores are announced!

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

Boys starting.

And, despite there being an hour break, we are still on the same stream.
