Loved Iida but I disagree with her getting higher PCS than Olga.
Go Katia!

 

[Seven Sisters]

I think if Kurakova had done more programs like this—keeping the cutesiness to a minimum—I would have appreciated her a lot more

 

[Sabsi]

Lovely skate

 

[EdgeCall]

Clean, expressive run, Katya was really powered up.

Kurakova's music put me into a deep KuraCOMA.

lost 2ish points on that spin

What an enjoyable program from Katya, she is such a fantastic performer!!!! This program is extremely difficult to intepret, it's about domestic abuse, but she does a great job with it. The crowd was spellbound throughout. She did lose quite a bit of BV on the combo, she's been struggling to rotate the 3+3 and played it safe to get the GOE but that combo is worth the same as as solitary 3F. Nevertheless, the quality of everything else will easily see her into the FS.

Nice skate from Kurakova. I am still in love with the back of her dress.

 

[cocteautwin]

Well done! I love this program, she is such a great performer, always so present emotionally and very accurate to the theme.

Even among my favorite skaters, there are few that I call dancers. Ekaterina is a *dancer*

 

[Jeanie19]

Ekaterina. Pretty dress and a lovely program. Really good skate.

 

[Karoltyna]

yay all the Stitches for Katia

 

[Ares]

Clean, expressive run, Katya was really powered up.

Yeah, but again just a 3T-2T combo, uhm.

 

[auser]

Lovely skate with expressive stsq from Ekaterina.

 

[lileychristie]

Love both Katia's program this season, she really showed she can do much more than just cutesy stuff

 

[Ichatdelune]

Ugh my stream is finally back

 

[elektra blue]

Juliaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[lileychristie]

Julia is crying before her skate... I hope it's not negative tears....

 

[Sabsi]

Noooooo

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Emotional moment with Julia and her coach. Is this a retirement skate?

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

Julia is crying before her skate... I hope it's not negative tears....

I know someone who'd listen to emo music to get in the mood before some programs. I hope that it's the same, that there's nothing sad in real life for her.
