Wakaba one skate does not define you. You are amazing!

 

[LazyFuzai]

????? Why is she so slow and out of energy??? What is going on?!?!

 

[bartlebooth]

Who let Rinky out?

 

[Dreamer57]

This doesn't sound like hunchback of notre dame...more like Carmen

Not a good skate for Haein either

 

[labgoat]

Who let Rinky out?

Loicia let the mummy out...

 

[TallyT]

Love love LOVE Haein's dress, even more than the SP one, the cut and beading is gorgeous.

 

[Miya88]

womens field is so weak now

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

oh nooooo, Haein's jumps were looking better in practice too but she's struggling with the rotations in competition yet again and took some hard falls... another tough skate and that TES score is going to drop a lot

 

[elektra blue]

the dress is amazing and i like Carmen for her, sadly rinky liked her too

 

[demitasse]

haein picking up some energy later in the program but it's a little too late

 

[Dawn825]

Sensational dress at least

 

[Karoltyna]

Loicia let the mummy out...

the mummy woke rinky up?

 

[TallyT]

This doesn't sound like hunchback of notre dame...more like Carmen

Ted's had a long weekend.... he's just corrected it.

And the women were good yesterday, what happened???

 

[LazyFuzai]

Womens saw 250 gives gold for mens and thought 150 will do the same

 

[Janice4th]

Tell us how you really feel, Johnny.

 

[Paulipau]

Where are you getting Simon? Ted Is on ISU. I hate when they spoil stuff too.

Eurosport.

 

[Ares]

Splats and underrotations for Haein

 

[RafaelAstro]

The problem is nobody wants to skate in sunday, you go to church, you go to shop, you go to the mall, you go to take pictures, but you don't go to skate in competition, do you understand?

 

[lileychristie]

Sounds like a big carrot soup for Haein.... Will Lea keep the lead?
