2025 IceChallenge | Nov 5-9

Megan WOODLEY (CAN) wearing a lovely purple dress with white trim.

She is skating to Savannah Outen's cover of "Story Of My Life". No, I've never heard of her either. I'm not a One Direction fan, but I prefer their version to this one. That said, I did like the orchestra playing.

The skating was better, even with the mistakes.

Aha! She's found one of the crowns! It's been a while since we saw them.

She goes into the lead of both the FS and overall.

Ula ZADNIKAR (SVN) wearing a beautiful purple dress.

I love the music! Even if the singing was a bit harsh (the singer is going to have a really sore throat in the morning after that!)

Hard fall near the boards early on. But, it was great after that.

When it is done clean, this I am going to love this.

Oh my goodness. Has she got the whole Slovenian team with her?! Well, I suppose she is the last Slovenian to skate today. So, a good opportunity for a group photo.

And she's wearing the crown! 👑

She goes into 2nd position in both the FS and overall.

Oops.. her salchow won't count as she didn't do an axel... not like it was worth much being double with negative GOE
 
Oh, Hetty.

Hetty SHI (CAN) wearing a pink dress whose colour I don't really think suited her. (It was a shade of pink).

But the music more than made up for it.

Was that a hand down on the opening combination jump? Hard to see if it touched the ice or not.

Definitely a fall later on. And a pop not long afterwards.

When it is done clean, this programme will be beautiful. But today, it was a bit of a mess.

She goes into 3rd position in both the FS and overall.

The TP will have a lot of work to do with Sandrine... they've labeled her choreo seq twice, so one of them is wrong ;). :)

Also some rotation issues.

What a gutsy skater though... After not being able to fire the 3t on the 2a-3t, she went for a 3t-3t as the last jumping pass. Was it smart ? I doubt it but it was certainly courageous.
 
Back-to-back Canadians.

Sandrine BLAIS (CAN) was wearing a dress where the top half was light blue, and the bottom half was royal blue.

Fall on first jump. And she really had to fight to get some of her jumps in the middle of the programme. And another fall near the end.

Well, she'll go ahead of Hetty. But, will she be the top Canadian going into the final group? She had a 4 point advantage over Megan from the SP.

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

Noemi JOOS (ITA) is wearing a dress which is mainly light purple, but has a darker patch around the waist.

Beautiful music. And beautiful skating.

She was less than half a point ahead of Sandrine that just skated, but about 5 points ahead of current leader Megan. I think she'll do it.

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

Aleksandra. Pretty dress. I love this program. A few too many mistakes, but she never gave up.
 
Aleksandra JANIKOWSKA (POL) is wearing a dress that is completely dark purple, apart from the back of the skirt part, which is red. She is also wearing red gloves.

The music is beautiful. The vocals are not.

There was a hand down early on. I didn't spot any more issues, but there is not a lot of green in the boxes. So, it's probably me not seeing them.

She goes into 6th position in the FS, and 5th position overall.
