Wow, Von Felten was very powerful emotionally, and that 3A was great. With Bezkorvaynaia I needed to hear the explanation to glimpse the personal significance of the program to her, but Von Felten, she was in her own tier in this competition. I liked Murakami a whole lot, didn't get Oka at all. Really bummed about Gladkih's fall on spin. Also, there were skaters from Turkiye, Kaz and Uzbekistan who really make it look like they have resources to develop despite representing small feds. Demonstrates how hard it is to have a proper access. Kalugina looks like she maybe had a huge growth spurt. Don't wanna give up on her, but i regret putting her in my predictions after this program, since it was really low on everything including jumps. Oh, i have no clue why Gao scored so low. Loved her packaging and program.
Onto rhythm dance for me, going to leave men for later, since i am not particularly invested into anyone there.
but loved Sofia’s skate.. read somewhere (?) that she is skating Everly’s program and wearing her dress too. Was that Ilia’s father with her in the K & C?
