Thank you so much for the play by play, casken. It is very much appreciated! :clap:

Oh goodie. "The Feeling Begins"

3 flip - 2 toe maybe 2 footed?
Only 2 Salchow
spiral - nice
layback - not very flexible
2 axel - ok
footwork - nice
combo spin - ok
blanked on flying spin sorry

Seen her skate this better. Technically weaker than Liu, but more attack and expression.
 
Tugba! Love her!

3 salchow - 2 toe with arm over the head - nice!
Tries the 3 flip but doubles then falls
spiral - good
2 axel - 2 footed poor landing
flying camel - excellent!
footwork - nice expression
combo spin - good

Jump problems but great expression and fun program. Totally different than the usual ladies short program. If only she could get the jumps.

3rd.
 
You're welcome everyone. I lucked out and get this NBC 4.4 channel on FIOS.

Leung

3 Lutz - 2 loop - good
3 Flip - clean
flying camel - nice position
2 axel - barely
combo - hit and miss in terms of quality
footwook - weakest element so far
layback with pearl variation - good!
spiral with Arakawa variation - good

Not bad! She looked completely lost at times during the footwork though.

Only 3rd. Hmmm.
 
Flatt

Moonriver

3 Flip - 3 loop - stiff but seemed clean and rotataed
3 Lutz - clean but flutzed
comb spin - ok
footwork - soft
layback - nice classic position
2 axel - good
spiral - good
flying spin - good

Nice clean program. We'll see on the combo though.

1st.
 
Poykio

3 flip - nice!
2 lutz single toe - uh oh
flying sit - ok
footwork - slow meh
2 axel - slow
combo spin - ok
spiral - ok
layback - ok

Seen her skate much better. Music didn't really do anything for her.
 
Mira looks much improved from last season! That is indeed a pearl, or maybe more like Mirai's catch-foot layback. On icenetwork's practice video, she does a better, faster version that's held longer and is more stretched out.

Rachael! Way to handle the pressure, good job! I think there was a downgrade 3F-3R< , and probably also an 'e' deduction on the 3Z. Too bad. I think it's a gutsy first skate with the big girls. Nerves probably affected the combo. I do think though that she can improve with more attention to the shoulders -- she needs to relax them more and have a more upright posture. It got worse later on during the program, maybe she's working on it, but goes back to old habits when she's a little tired.
 
Wow, this seems like a really TOUGH judging panel!

Also, Rachael was likely very low-balled on her PCS scores being only in the 1st flight of skaters.

Oh, unusual costume for Yu-na. I thought that was Miki with much improved posture at first. :laugh:
 
Ugh there's a storm in my area and I might not be able to watch it all. = [

Have to say...love Yu-Na's costume! It's very different from what we saw her wear last season...but that's a good thing in my book!

So excited for this group. This storm better hold off at least until after some of the men, if not all.
