I am not sure if triples were fully rotated. She has nice lyrical choreo, but her speed in non-existant. She is slow even then she takes the ice after new name is announced.

The first skater so far to deserve higher PCS than Ieveleva. Jumps were mess and Carmen is done to death, but she know how to move to it and how to sell it. Great performance.

Creative use of ice surface: CoSp in the corner, DiSt directly from that spot and FSSp at the "ending" corner. It's always nice to see something unusual for a change. But the music is way too heavy for her.

She is a bit stiff and has no expression, but I just loved the way she made a fierce face during the SpSt then her music changed from the lyrical intro to real tango. Kudos for delivering all the jumps too.
Wow for Carolina. Excellent program, it just flows so smoothly from start to finish. Now if she only land the lutz, she would be right up there with Mao, Yu Na and Miki at Worlds. I am bit concerned about LoD for spins, though.

She is really unlucky with the draws this year, skating after aerial Carolina made her look worse than she has probably been. Pretty blah program anyway, though.
Her jump landings are iffy, I am not sure they were fully rotated from the amount of snow her blade generate on landings... Not bad, but I liked Ievleva better, but she is likely to kick her out of final group.... Or not... it seems the jumps were downgraded....
Sarah and Caro were amazing! Caro's Pachalbel SP is simply beautiful, just doubling the Lutz, but it's a great comeback from last season.
Kiira was robbed in 5th, I had her 3rd on the day.
38 is waaaaay tooooo many skaters. It went on for 6 hours, and only a few mins till FD starts.
All these pseudo Greeks and Lithuanians etc that are really from Chicago and Canada, it shouldn't be allowed in Singles, as it's too busy already for competitors. In Dance & Pairs yes, if one partner is already born in the country and gets a partner from elsewhere who goes to live there, that's acceptable.
