[TallyT]

I was thinking how much nicer it was than the original Jerusalem.

I was thinking of the parts that were Jupiter....

Shaked. Pretty dress and a nice program. Tech levels low, but nice junior debut.

Hello!! I am here, with my after-breakfast coffee, mostly to see how the judging situation goes this season.

Wow! The Pinchas twins have been on the international circuit for so long that I didn't even realise that this was Shaked's first Junior competition!

That is Pairs skater Julia Shapiro (mother of Nikita and Kirill Sheiko) hiding under that hat.

She goes into 8th position.

I never tire of hearing that song. I have loved it since it was released over a decade ago.

OK, so there were some big issues. But on balance, I still LOVED this programme.

And that dress is absolutely gorgeous.

You know I love small Fed skaters.

She goes into 9th position.

Andrea. Pretty blue dress. Lovely program. Low tech, but still a nice skate.

Girls like her still skate incomparably better than me

Cara Tang is better than I remember

Cara Tang is better than I remember

Her 2A was even very good.

 

[Karoltyna]

That was really nice

 

[Jeanie19]

Cara. Beautiful dress. Really good program. Nice spins and skate.

Cara TANG (NZL) was sitting in her starting position for so long after the music started that I thought the picture had frozen.

I take it the pictures and audio are still out of sync, as surely she wouldn't be that late starting.

That wouldn't be my favourite Adele song, but Cara did a really good job of it.

The dress is a really beautiful blue, but I am not sure about the cream at the end of the skirt part..

She goes into 6th position.

I thought she was charming.

Now a mad rush to get ready, because my kid is in the next group.

(My Dad took over the bathroom for the whole time in between the competitions, so I couldn't get in then).

[elektra blue]

we're back!

 

[TallyT]

If they are going to make them all come out one at a time the least they could do is make them visible.........

 

[elektra blue]

we know, Ted. it's your special skill

My little red-haired pocket rocket!!!

Well, I didn't know if she has gone back to the red hair or has stayed with her natural blonde, because we were stuck on the camera up in the stands when they were doing their run-ins in the dark.

She's back to red, @elektra blue.

When they stated focussing on Vasilisa, she did a jump and had a big fall. But then she circled round and did a combination. The first jump was beautiful. The second jump, she just about got around on.

Towards the end, they showed Vasilisa again, but they cut away to show somebody just standing at the boards just as she was about to take off on a jump!

Now to wait a few skaters before it is her turn.
