Selin. Nice black outfit. Shame about the combo Still a good skate in front of the home crowd.

 

[TallyT]

Interesting costume, I like it

Thank you guys for pointing out Sıla Saygı.

I really liked her, and I miss her competing. But, at least she is still involved, passing on her knowledge and experience.

Her girl, Selin AKBULUT (TUR), goes into 25th position.

Oddly, this music is suited to the tin tank echoey feel we now have...

 

[Jeanie19]

Venla. Pretty black with purple dress. Really good skate, all greens.

Oh

 

[Jeanie19]

Stefania. Good costume to go with a good program. Shame about the combo. Great cartwheel. Good skate.

 

[TallyT]

I really really and sick of cartwheels. To be honest, I was sick of them after the third.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Oi! Don't go out of focus on my girl!

Phew! It was just an arty transition from the camera that was showing her getting into position, to the camera that was showing the start of her programme.

Lovely 3 Flip to start with.

Fall on the next jump, the 3 Loop. So, wasn't able to put on the planned combination.

Lovely Flying camel spin. And so was combination spin that followed.

Next jump, Double Axel, lovely.

I see she's joined the cartwheel club.

Lost it on the sit spin, and had to put her hand down.

Ending section good.

Simone the Sloth is back with her!

I thought she looked sad, but then she smiled and waved.

Into 18th position.

There were mistakes. But the stuff that went well looked good! Which bodes well for later in the season.

WELL DONE STEFANIA!!!

Lena. Nice bodysuit. Good skate.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I really really and sick of cartwheels. To be honest, I was sick of them after the third.

I know this has come up in relation to one of my kids, but I have never liked cartwheels in figure skating.

I'm old fashioned. I take the position that if anything other than the blade touches the ice, it is a fall and gets a deduction.

Plus, can you imagine if it went wrong?

[TallyT]

Don't care for the costume, but it is striking, which is the main thing.
