Sounds fun!

Nooo, Yoshida’s killing me this season. She just hasn’t been skating well at all.

 

[TallyT]

She's still smiling, such a sweet looking girl...

Hana. Pretty dress and a really good program. A couple of mistakes, but great step sequence and a good skate.

Maybe not, I would vote bardcore in and the skaters would be like

Nooooo Poor Hana. This is such a nice program too. She picked it up but still.

 

[flanker]

Unfortunately many mistakes by Hana Yoshida.

 

[cocteautwin]

Hana is a fighter! Not near to her best but it's much better than she did at chellengers.

 

[Jontor]

Hana Yoshida's music is a rip off of Pink Floyd's 'Shine on you crazy diamond (Part I)'.

What an impressive GP debut from Ruiyang! The jumps were pretty solid; some reviews will happen and they don't get the highest GOE or BV, but she did well to go clean! She has a lot of potential with the delicacy of her movements and her range of movement, I'm excited to see her grow as a performer. She has a gorgeous 3S, such nice height and ice coverage.

 

[elektra blue]

despite her music, Ruiyang was great on the home ice

 

[Isk]

Hello, everyone! Oh, what did Hanna do in the SP - committed a crime or something? And Nini WD?
Hana's program is a bit monotonous, and she is not quite ready, although there is still time.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

That was a great skate by Ruyiang They changed the layout and it was a good decision to go as clean as possible. Her Flip and Salchow are just so big and easy-looking.

 

[Jeanie19]

Ruiyang. Beautiful dress. Great program. Great skate in front of home crowd.

 

[cocteautwin]

Well done, Ruiyang! Two clean(ish) skates at grand prix debut, amazing! More than that, she showed again how reliable she is under pressure which gives her a good chance to get that olympic spot. Step sequence was lovely.

If we banned all forgettable music, there would be like 20 pieces played endlesssssssssly (just like last and this years RD now that I think of it)

 

[readernick]

Zhang has some nice qualities. The program is .... and her basic skating could use some more power. Nice spins.
