Olè!

But this time it is!

Larysa SHEVCHENKO (UKR) is wearing a red dress with black pattern. And skating to that modern Latin dancing music that we frequently see being skated to.

That was good.,

She goes into 2nd position.

She is so happy!

Jean TENG (USA) wearing a dress that is mainly grey but has a couple of black patches on the right hand side.

Skating to music from "East Of Eden".

That was just beautiful. But, "East Of Eden" programmes always are!

After she finished, she just sat on the ice for a while smiling. She is so happy with how it went!

And she was still so happy when waiting for her scores.

She goes into the lead.

What a reaction! She was not expecting that!

Florence CLARK (GBR) wearing a dress that is light blue in the top half, and black in the bottom half.

Skating to "New Day Will Rise" by Yuval Raphael. But edited differently to other programmes we see using it. I didn't actually recognise the song until it reached teh chorus.

She was good.

Such a packed results area! I don't think there's room for any more!

She goes into 5th position.

Celestina FILBRANDT (DEU) wearing a gorgeous black dress with sparklies.

I love the song, but couldn't find out what it was. The harmonising in the backing vocals was amazing!

When she was in her starting position, all I could think of was lida Karhunen and her blinkography.

She goes into 9th position.

Jesica BUENO (MEX) wearing a dress that is white in teh top half, and purple in the bottom half.

Skating to "Ordinary" by Alex Warren. Never heard the song before, but it is just perfect for making into a skating programme!

Pity about the spectacular fall, because it was good otherwise.

She's still smiling, though!

She goes into 5th position.

Verena ACHENBACH (DEU) wearing a ruby red dress with silver pattern.

Skating to a trailerised female cover of Linkin Park's "In The End".

That's two covers I've heard of it this week that I haven't liked. Just use the original, people!

The skating made up for it, though. She was really good.

She goes into 2nd position.

Anne JANECKE (DEU) wearing a beautiful black dress with sparklies. But it is spoiled by white flowers down the left hand side.

When the music started, I thought it was my favourite piece of skating music, "Lux Aeterna". But, it turned out that it wasn't. I still really liked the music, though. That is, until the wailing started near the end. That spoiled it.

Those two minor complaints aside, I loved that programme.

Awwwww. Is that her son sitting on her knee? And her other half sitting beside her?

And then Verena that skated before her came running in.

She goes into 2nd position.

We finish Group 2 with Dariya YAKOVENKO (UKR), who is wearing a black top with sparklies that the moths have been to in a few places, and black leggings. It does actually look good on her.

Skating to an awful trailerised cover of the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams".

Music aside, I liked that.

She goes into 6th position.

Teresa KUDROW (TPE) wearing a white dress with blue patches on the shoulders.

Everything about that was beautiful.

She goes into 2nd position.

[CaroLiza_fan]

Doris ITA (CHE) wearing a dress which is mainly black with gold pattern, but the skirt part is lighht blue.

She is skating to a French song that is a duet between a female and a male singer. And it is beautiful!

I enjoyed that.

She goes into 3th position.

All four of them are happy. Especially the lady in the brown coat.

Was Babett LYSS (DEU) trying to dry her nails at the start?

She was wearing a red dress.

She was skating to an accoustic female cover of Kiss' "I Was Made for Loving You". I definitely recognise the voice, but can't think who it is.

The four of them in the resutls area are in good spirits.

She goes into 16th position.

All of a sudden, Babett is not happy.

Renata STAUGIENE (LTU) wearing a beatiful black dress with one sleeve.

She is skating to "Assassin's Tango". I love that music. And the film it is from too!

She had a couple of moments. But I still enjoyed it.

She goes into 17th position.

The announcer was in a real dilemma over whether to pronounce Amie JOACHIM (GBR)'s surname the German way. And it ended up that every time she said it, it was a different pronounciation.

She was wearing a dark blue dress with light blue pattern.

It's a different trailerised version of the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams" to what we heard earlier. And then it turned into a techno version. And back to the trailerised version again.

Didn't like the music. But did like the look and the skating.

She goes into 17th position.

Karin RICHNER (CHE) wearing a dress that was mainly black, but had red areas.

I loved the music. I have seen it being skated to before.

That was good.

As well as 6 grown-ups, she has a wee boy sitting with her. I take it that's her son. He doesn't look in the slightest bit interested!

She goes into 2nd position.

CHAU Ching Man (HKG) wearing a dress in various shades of blue.

Couldn't find out what the song was from a lyrics search. But, I would put money on it being from a musical.

I really enjoyed that.

She goes into 7th position.

[CaroLiza_fan]

Katrin MORGENROTH (DEU) wearing a beautiful deep red dress with sparklies.

Skating to "Stop And Stare" by One Republic.

That was beautiful.

They are happy.

Olga WALKER (GBR) wearing a dress that is mainly black but turns green in the skirt part.

Skating to spooky music. Don't know the song, but the vocals sound like Muse.

You all know how much I love spooky programmes. And I loved this one too!

She goes into 7th position.

They're happy.

Back-to-back British skaters. Hannah GOFF (GBR) wearing a dress that is a right mixture of blues and white.

Skating to "Demons" by Imagine Dragons.

That was good.

If it is the same skater (and I think it is), she used to do Ice Dane with LI Wing Yin for Hong Kong.

She goes into 12th position.

[CaroLiza_fan]

Monique RIEMANN (DEU) doing an "Aladdin" programme.

She is skating to "Speechless" by Naomi Scott. But, she is wearing a purple dress, rather than a light blue dress like Princess Jasmine wears.

I love this song, and I loved this programme.

She goes into 20th position.

Fabiola ORTIZ SANCHEZ (MEX) skating to "Let's Get Loud" by Jennifer Lopez.

And her dress is certainly loud! Pink and blue.

She was really enjoying herself out there!

She goes into 17th position.
