LADIES FREE Skate

[fairly4]

at first looked the triple triple was ur,
but she also did alot of little mistakes, but well enough to put pressure on kanako, kostner,

 

[gourry]

Oh no.... oh on. ohhhhh uh

 

[chuckm]

With RUS, BLR and UKR on the panel Alena had nothing to worry about.

 

[Mrs. P]

Well at least Wagner beat her in the FS.

 

[100yen]

Gooo Mao!!! Your mom and all your fans are right behind you!!! Skate with your heart!

 

[Becki]

In first place. Good for her - she doesn't do much for me, but it was a decent skate!

 

[Robeye]

Alena skates like the Trans-Siberian Express. Not a lot of frills, but when she stays on the rails she builds up a real head of steam, blowing off energy and momentum everywhere .

SUPERB stuff from Alena!! That might be just enough. Only Carolina and/or Mao can beat her now. Hope Ksenia puts in a solid performance to secure Russia's 3 spots at worlds for next year. That would mean a team of Alena, Adelina, & Tuk for next years
worlds.

Ashley still leads in the FS section.

 

[Krislite]

Wow, they scored her lower than Ashley. That's good, but unexpected.

 

[museksk8r]

Wagner beats Leonova in the LP, but Alena's SP lead saves the day for her and into 1st.

 

[Selene]

Ashley's free skate outscored Alena's. but I don't understand how Alena got higher PCS. Ashley's presentation looked much cleaner to me.

 

[skatinginbc]

I prefer KVDP's artistry over Alena's.

 

[Jammers]

Disgraceful Ashley was way better then 1 point over Leonova. What a crap program with no transitions.

 

[coolboogie22]

If that wins a gold at Worlds i will quit watching skating.

I would say the same thing, if Kostner win -_-

 

[mateusp1]

Ashley is still first in the LP. Go Mao!

 

[prettykeys]

I will say this about Alena Leonova: Her personality fills out the music (Lux Aeterna) instead of being overwhelmed by it, which is no small feat.

 

[Serious Business]

Wow, Ashley's LP score actually beat Alena's. Rightly so. I'd have had Ashley's PCS higher.

 

[periperi]

Got back in time for Mao. Go Mao!

 

[museksk8r]

1Axel for Mao, a jumping window wasted on basically no points.
