I'm in the minority that I don't enjoy Laufey but what consistency she has shown this season

ou i enjoyed it the first 10 times i saw it

I'm Alysa's layback spin stan

Alysa. Pretty dress and a beautiful program. Great skate. Wonderful 3lutz3loop.

 

[FlyingFeather]

Alysa's spins are incredibly musical--probably the best in the field.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Alysa's choreography is the most connected to the music I've seen this competition. It looks like she's actually dancing, rather than counting beats

 

[shan22044]

Wow. I’m a believer now. That 3L+3Loop. That Biellmann…!!

 

[Dawn825]

Gubanova was lucky to only get a q I think

 

[16Olympics]

I'm soooooo pleased......Wonderful wonderful....

 

[momrk]

I love this short program.So happy she came back (though I was happy for her when she made the decision to step away)

 

[auser]

Love the joy visible in Alysa's skating even when not all perfect.

Kaori ganbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[maofan]

Go Kaori!

 

[4everchan]

well well... Gogo will need to be flawless and place no farther away than 2 ranks below France for a tiebreaker...and then, it will be advantage France again with FBC scoring 9 + their number two skater... (6 points would do it)

Tough break for Canada for now.

Kaori looks stunning
