I got the same ad? I'm pretty sure I also got an ad during Mao? So I guess the ad break is an omen of a clean skate...

(Is...is it actually AnNIka with the stress on the second syllable? Or is that just Ted Pronunciation?)

I looked Annika up, all sources say it's AN-nika or AH-nika so it's Ted

 

[TallyT]

I will definitely give her a plus for sparkly yellow (my favourite colour ) and for clearly having fun.

The sound appears to have been worked on, much less muddy (okay, sounds a bit like it's in a big tin shed but that's an improvement! I imagine it sounds better for the folk there.)

ps - here it's AnNIKa so maybe Canadians are like Aussies.

Seeing Annika sitting waiting for her scores, isn't she just the cutest wee thing you've seen?

Can't believe she will be turning 15 in a couple of months. She looks so much younger.

She goes into 3rd.

It's a bit unusual shade of violet. Shame about the fall. Looked solid until then, it took wind out of her sails.

Anastasiia. Pretty purple dress.

 

[Layback11]

Awesome dress. Purple + unique crystal patterns are always a win

(The Ukrainian jacket is also gorgeous, hello???)

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

no black and white @CaroLiza_fan

But, it is a beautiful dress, so no complaints about the missed opportunity.

Oh, Anastasiia is not happy. In the time we were watching her waiting for her scores, she was going between looking angry and looking upset.

Into 10th position.

The season has started, hallelujah...

 

[elektra blue]

the music is putting us back to sleep, but she's a power jumper

 

[Ichatdelune]

Our first Hallelujah cover of the season, whee

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

She's really good

Wow, what an impressive JGP debut from Milana! I'm so excited to see continued success in Lithuanian skating!

 

[lariko]

Welcome to the new talent! I hope she gets a good score. Looked like a lovely skate.

 

[Jeanie19]

Milana. Pretty outfit. Clean skate , great debut.

 

[Layback11]

Milana: not sure how I feel about Hallelujah for a thirteen-year-old (what do you mean she was born in 2011 I cannot process this), but that was a strong first international skate! I'm impressed...lots of potential with this one.

(I guess it's a sign of aging that I now watch JGPs and think 'way too young for that music' like, every three skaters, heh...also LOOK AT HER IN THE KISS AND CRY SHE'S SO LITTLE )

 

[elektra blue]

Aussie Aussie Aussie! (it's never enough)

The younger the skaters become the older I feel. All of them could be my daughters

I guess ur? Seems a bit low.
