Why on earth is this commentator talking about russian quads...

Love the lift Amanda gets on her jumps and her long elegant lines.
Italy has a great bunch of ladies coming up as well.

 

[EdgeCall]

Ouch, that looked painful.

 

[Dawn825]

Yuseong's dress is sooo pretty

one of the best performances from Amanda, all the girls are delivering their best, i'm loving this free

 

[Jeanie19]

Amanda. Nice dress and nice program. A couple of mistakes but she never gave up.

Amanda GHEZZO (ITA) wearing a beautiful black dress with white pattern.

Imagine doing a "Chicago" programme which includes "Cellblock Tango" knowing that the skater who is doing a great EX to that song this season is actually in the arena.

I wonder if Ted or Mark will turn around and ask Niina what she thinks of it.

It wasn't perfect. But, on the whole, it was good.

She goes into 6th position in both the FS and overall.

She's being realistic about it.

Italian ladies is going to be very hard to predict next year with so many strong and lovely ladies

I love to watch Anna Gerke - she is so tidy and musical. Heavily stalking the first two jumps that are landed but Shin Amano draws blood.

Ted introducing Anna as our "final" skater and then correcting himself. Poor guy, his coffee's gone cold and he may even need a bathroom break. Hang in there, Ted ...

 

[elektra blue]

not the skate Anna wanted sadly

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Anna had to fight a lot, but that was a solid skate for the little German jumping bean, save for when she almost Midori Ito'd out of the boards on a 2T, doing that back loaded 3T+3T is so impressive! She's so fun to watch and has so much talent.

 

[Jeanie19]

Anna. Pretty dress and a nice program. Good skate.

 

[cocteautwin]

Anna's skating today was as wild as her music cut is

To be fair, I thought Amanda was the penultimate skater before the resurfacing too. And then when Anna GERKE came out, I thought "hang on, that's not KIM Yuseong!"

I wonder if Anna would be interested in pairs - she is a gutsy gal and a perfect size for a pair girl.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Anna GERKE (DEU) wearing a black dress with a flower pattern on the front and back.

Somebody tell the singer to shut up. Because this is beautiful music, and I want to hear it properly.

Thankfully, she did. But then she came back.

Not sure whether the hand down reached the ice or not.

But, on the whole, that was good.

She goes into 6th position in the FS, and 5th position overall.

I was just about type about Midori Ito. I was at that competition live when she literally jumped right out of the rink ... and then climbed back in (with a big smile on her face) and finished her program as if nothing odd had happened. It's not always the big technical elements that leave the most lasting impressions on the fans.
