But it's such a boring cut of Romeo and Juliet......

Yeah... that wasn't too thrilling.

Maybe it'll be a double victory for the Hendrickx family.

:luv17: Congrats to Jorik and Loena!

Kylie Loots, I think? She withdrew (according to the results).

Yes, Kylie.

The Ultimate Skate Battle and gala just started. It's figure skating improvisation, rather fun to watch!

I need this 'skate battle' in galas from high profile skating competitions. Imagine skaters going down to Usher and slapping their butts to the sound of cheesy country. Lmao

I've only seen them before at japanese ice shows besides this.

It was new for me, that is, I know they did it two (?) years ago as well, but I didn't bother watching it then. Maybe they got the idea from the Japanese ice shows?

I only got to see Moris's SP, but I am more than a little offended by the PCS he got here. Come on now. He got 33.15 and 71.58 at Euros, and that was too low, in my opinion. I get that he didn't skate here as well, but I saw someone else fall twice in his LP this weekend and it didn't push his PCS down at all - in fact, he won his competition...:curse: Moris may not have the best edges or transitions, but he's fast, he interprets the music well, he knows how to perform. Jorik didn't even do a 3-3, let alone a quad. Another case of the local darling getting preferential treatment and the small fed skater being held down. What a joke!

Congrats to Caroline Zhang on her Silver Medal. She has gotten her Worlds minimum. I now she is only the 3rd alternate but if called upon she will be eligible.

Here is her beautiful FS!
