I ddidnt see protocols but what happened with leonova? It was one of those times that the skate looked great and people puzzled. Kira got a big applause, Jenna of course the biggest, it was a great moment for all GB teams today! Carolina costume and program are so classy, I think she performed better in GP but wonderful program, there are many italians in audience with flags, it was great! My fav Helgerson, she is such a diva and so enjoyable to watch, I m rooting for her on podium!I think Elena G also performed better than her marks, I love her speed!

Kind of meh on the technical achievements of these ladies. No successful triple-triples except for the easiest 3T-3T. And a lot more 3Z's and 3F's (solo or in combo, or attempts thereof) among the ladies ending up in places 10-19 than 1-9. It really does seem that a European lady is strategically better off to jump lower on the food chain and do it cleanly. In other words, no risk-taking. :think:

I think Leonova messed 3T 3T, ( she either messed or it was tripple/double) and another tripple was not quite clean. Pity, I so wished Leonova will be on podium. I like her.
Well, maybe she will have great free skate *keeps fingers crossed*

Some of the scoring really puzzles me. As other mentioned - Polina's TES?
I understand Viktoria has some level 4s, but 3T-2T and 3Loop take her to upthe 5th place? Really? (Although I admit, the field is not the strongest).

Nevertheless, some tweaking of the score system is needed.

I am not so sure we are going to see any 3/3 attempts by the top 5 US ladies in their LP either..

Nine skaters did 3/3 combinations(Lenovas second downgraded) I'm not a skater, but I understand that even if 3toe/3toe is the easiest it isn't easy.

Since Jason Dungjen is at US Nationals with Alissa, who is with Valentina??
