It's nice to see Livia back from injury, and on a personal note, I love the back of this dress - the buttons are gorgeous. She doesn't seem to have the confidence fully back with her jumps like she did last season - she just doesn't have quite the same pop off the ice, which led to some of those pops and the rotation errors. This program has some interesting and lovely moments of choreography, but I think it needs a little more time to be fully fleshed out. Those pops are going to really hurt her score, but she kept on performing throughout the step sequence like a fighter. Hearing that she's just had four weeks of training, that was a remarkable program - even getting the stamina back up is so impressive in that amount of time.

Poor Livia. The calm no-frills choreo was so lovely, but the pops and the fall will cost her dearly.

regroup, Livia, next year will be better

Hi everybody I'm here watching it. I hope be the right thread because made a mistake and posting RD in the 4CC thread instead of worlds..

Kaiser has big jumps, but she really needs to work on her spins and listening to her music. She lost a lot of steam in the second half.

 

[saine]

Livia, you did your job and qualified for the free, you'll make it to the Olympics (assuming Kimmy places top 12)

 

[bartlebooth]

Oh no, poor Livia is crying.

She is still recovering from injury.

Kristen has been so impressive this season, and she already did her job and qualified a spot for the Olympics. I think having that pressure off her shoulders allowed her to skate freer today - she has lovely jumps and is a really authentic performer, especially in the choreo sequence, it's just a shame about the flips because everything else was so solid. Getting a level 4 step is really impressive, and that final combination is so unique.

 

[EdgeCall]

Typically Kristen. Immense power but the control is somewhat lacking. If she gets her act together she will be awesome.

 

[elektra blue]

not too bad

 

[bartlebooth]

Powerful jumps, how nice. Shame about the mistakes, but I like Kristen's energy.

 

[triplelutzzzzz]

Too bad about the mistakes but amazing energy for Kristen!

 

[jorge2912]

Kristen was good ,a lot strength but need more control but it was good and the jumps height was the right . Her program was good

 

[Agent Michael Scarn]

Katia is always my sentimental favorite (even if I don't like her programs this year).
