Those ears. They tell me that you are not attempting to appeal to my sensibilities.

why is the crowd so excited, it's a terrible reveal

Kirsten Spours really should have received more GOE for her opening 3lutz and opening 3loop. They were really good! But on the little box in the corner it seems she received less than .50 for each!

Bonus points for a Cats program.

I can't believe I looked away and totally missed the costume change!!!

Kristin had a couple of mistakes but to her credit

It’s been a long day for those folks, I think. Plus, they endured trauma in the RD

 

[EdgeCall]

I guess the jump landings have cost her one or two of her nine lives, but I'll take it. Meow!

 

[Bluediamonds09]

I really hope Noelle Streuli gets a chance to compete for Poland at the Olympics.

Katya is such a delightful personality in this sport, and I am so glad that she had a chance to skate her free today. She is still struggling to rotate her jumps, but changed her layout here to have lower BV with cleaner rotations than in the past. Regardless of how the skate goes, though, she still oozes charisma and performance, and she definitely had the audience behind her throughout this program.

My boy who is still up: GO KITTY!!!!!

 

[bartlebooth]

I despise Cats (the musical, I like cats as animals), but Katya is adorable. With her it is always a matter of underrotations, but she put up a good fight. Brava.

Unfortunately they haven't made a musical about crocodiles yet.

 

[elektra blue]

no Chris, she's able to portray childish cutesy and nothing more

 

[Ares]

It was pretty good from Katia. But she's gonna get some Qs from the panel.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Can we call Kurakova the Jason Brown of ladies’ skating?

I mean, not as far as skating skills. But that running towards the audience madly waving to acknowledge the applause

Who are your boys?

Maine Black Bears hockey
