62.19!!!! Congratulations Hannah!!

Hannah Kim is a bit taller, with long lines and great speed into 3F-3T to her tango music and Yo Soy Maria. She covers a lot of ice in her footwork. Lots of added difficulty in her program. Very strong skate that takes the lead.

Dress is interesting! I know this skater has a pretty big following on TikTok haha

Penelope. Pretty dress, love the colors. Nice program. Shame about the fall, but still a good skate.

 

[katymay]

Too bad about the combo, but she has nice posture-some of these girls need to work on their posture.

It's the first time I hear Gracie commenting, she is so classy

She is the best of everything is my Queen.

Penelope Ogorelkoff in shades of purple accented with peach and pink. Open with the 3Lo , Fall on the first jump of the combo. I agree with Gracie - she needs a bit more finish to really sell the skating especially after a mistake. Only 13 yo, she will learn from this and is a talented skater.

 

[celiabiche]

Those type of edge falls are the worst..

 

[katymay]

Too bad about the combo, but she has nice posture-some of these girls need to work on their posture. Nice strong jumps though, yes, even the axel.

Advice from Gracie after making a mistake - You have to be extra now...

 

[celiabiche]

Lots of popping today

Jiaying. Really pretty dress and a beautiful program.

Jiaying Ellyse Johnson dedicates her program to her skating friends lost in the plane crash. Big lovely 2A to open. Pop on the 3LZ of the combo. She has had injuries this fall and has been struggling a bit. She looks like she has grown into her body. Her skating should solidify in the next year and hopefully the injuries will be less now. Sensitive interpretation and potential for great power in her jumps. Sad for her today.

Alayna’s time!

 

[auser]

Fun expressiveness in Alayna's stsq.

 

[Jeanie19]

Alayna. Pretty dress and a really fun program. Fun level 4 step sequence.

 

[labgoat]

Alayna Coats in bright fuchsia giving us some 90s vibes and a fall on the 3T of the combo. Lots of personality. She would fit right in with this year's rhythm dance. Fun footwork sequence with a lot of leaning and turning.

Cleo Park in a lovely black and purple dress skating to a modern Beethoven has a nice 3S-3T. Very elegant skating with a 3Lo that was big, rotations full? Lovely spins and footwork. Nice sense of drama and style.
