Yes, two Lz+Lo combos

Yes, she did the first 3Lz+3Lo, then went to Eteri in the coaches' corner, then did a second that was even better! Eteri is making sure she is earning those Russian taxpayer dollars

 

[zenskate]

Alina's next!

An a pop

 

[zenskate]

But Alina held it together! StSq4 and everything. On the other hand, I was falling apart in front of my TV.

Alina scored 68.90

 

[egoshina]

Heartbreaking but not disastrous! She held it together for the rest of the programme!

Please Alina, do Alina for tomorrow and do your redemptive free skate after a not so successful SP - you did it many times before!

Alina scored 68.90��

She's still first! Alina on a bad day is still a heck of a great skater. Go Alina!

 

[Nachi]

When she waited for the music to start she already had some kind of a sad face? I thought she looked stressed and it got me a bit worried. I hope she won't let her head hang down and will be able to skate an awesome FS.

Oh noo ..she look so sad ..but it was not that bad overall, of course bad for her level, but still solid based to continue tomorrow - Go Carmengitova Go!!
I'm sure the team will help her, it was nice to see Eteri push her head up in K&C!

 

[Katie0906]

An Alina is still leading with that low score,i feel bad for kaori tho

 

[Katie0906]

Okay guys calm dowm Alina is first,damn that pop is so costly

 

[zenskate]

This was...not the way I was imagining Alina would come in first. But go Alina! You're still golden!

 

[madison]

Surely, Alina is defined by luck.

Sorry if this has been asked before. Is it more points deducted to pop or to fall?

Glad she is still first. So heartbreaking to see her disappointment! [emoji24]

I think Alina recovered great about that pop; even though she made a mistake, she remained focused and executed perfectly all the other elements, got Level 4's on everything, so her performance was at a very high level.

Still first place for her, also with some points lead, so it's not so bad, these things always happen :thumbsup:

What broke my heart was seeing her crying...she is a perfectionist and is so hard on herself, but I don't want her to be sad. :sad21:

 

[esteticlove]

She will fight back in the free. If anything.. Alina is more of a free program skater, she always redeems herself. :agree: I am not watching it live, but Alina, if you are crying, please don't!! :sad21:

 

[Katie0906]

I cant believe alina will still lead with that score, i didnt expect kaori to meltdown like that im so sad seeing her crying. Congrats Alina

I think Alina also changed her make-up to fit the POTO theme. At first I thought she was pale too, but then I realised that her make-up is different.
