[CaroLiza_fan]

It's back to the Interclub part of the event now for a girls double-bill to finish the day. First up are 13 Springs girls, arranged into a group of 6; followed by a group of 7.

Unfortunately, I will be leaving to eat during Group 1. But I will pause it, and hopefully the stream will still be there for me to catch-up later on.

Livestream for the Springs Ladies FS is now on air.

And after three skaters, this is where I bail out for food.

By the way, Skater #5 has withdrawn.

I'll pause it, and hopefully get to see the rest of the skaters later on.

All the best to those that are still to skate tonight.

Oooh. I like this music from skater #2, Anna SUMENKOVA (EST). It had bits of "Misirlou", but mixed in with other Middle Eastern music.

Unfortunately, the skating was a bit of a mess. She had a fall. And a double hands down.

But, she seemed happy enough when she went to get her results. And she had a team-mate sitting with her.

Into the lead. I wasn't expecting that.

CaroLiza_fan

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Oh no. The girl that was on after her, Amelia VASSIN (EST), isn't as happy. She's crying her eyes out.



She still takes the lead, though.

That was an interesting cover of "Yesterday" by The Beatles from the first of the Finns, Sara KUNNAS. It was an epic vesion by a female singer.

Yes, Sara is wearing her necklace with the "S" pendant again. I wonder if this means that team-mate Hilma REUNANEN will again be wearing a practically identical dress, and that the letter pendants are to help us tell them apart!

Well, we'll have to wait a while to find out, because Hilma is towards the end of this next group, skating at #11.

I wish the livescoring was working today. Because I was that busy writing this post that I missed what position Sara went into.

CaroLiza_fan

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Wow! They've fixed it already!

I wonder if somebody from the organising team is reading this thread...

Anyway, the first of the Tedersoo sisters, Emma, just skated. And she did a lot better than yesterday.

Her coach was more talkative today. And he even had a doll with him that looked just like Emma!

I don't know who makes these dolls, but they go to great effort to get all the details just right.

He handed it over to her quite quickly, and then took a photo of her with it.

She takes the lead.

P.S. It was only after the livescoring started working that I remembered that I am running behind, because I was popping in and out making toast during Group 1. So, apologies that I am commenting after the effect.​

Yes, Sara is wearing her necklace with the "S" pendant again. I wonder if this means that team-mate Hilma REUNANEN will again be wearing a practically identical dress, and that the letter pendants are to help us tell them apart!

No, Sara was wearing a royal blue dress, whereas Hilma is wearing a black dress. And both dresses are beautiful!

Correction - now that we see it closer up, Hilma's dress is actually a deep purple (no, she wasn't skating to the rock band of that name! She was skating to classical music).

She was wearing the necklace with the "H" pendant again.

Sara hasn't joined her today. It's just a coach with Hilma.

She goes into 4th.

[CaroLiza_fan]

Don't know who is singing this version of "Titanium" that Maarelee KUSLAP (EST) is skating to, but it is beautiful.

For a long time, Tulisa Contosavlos' accoustic version has been my favourite version of this song. But, this version is definitely rivalling it for that honour.

Aww, a wee girl that is sitting with her has a cuddly tiger. And she is really cuddling it! I don't think Maarelee has any hope of getting anywhere near it!

She goes into 3rd.

Second of the Tedersoo sisters now.

[CaroLiza_fan]

Well, Loore fell at a very appropriate moment in the music.

Ach, why did vocals come in just after that?! Hey, maybe that is why she messed up her landing on the element shortly after the singing started!

She's upset. And the coach is talking to her.

Awww, he handed her a doll too. But, she si too upset to be interested in it.

Oh wait, she cracked a smile when she said something to him.

Ah, good. She's getting over it now.

She's looking very interested in something that is going on out of camera shot.

She goes into the lead. But she's valiantly trying to stop herself from starting to cry. So, I take it she's not happy with the actual score.

[CaroLiza_fan]

Arina VOEVODINA (EST) has a whole crowd of fellow skaters with her for her results. One of them was wearing a pink hat, and when she took it off, it turned out that it was one of the Tedersoos. Haven't a clue which one - they are so alike that I can't tell them apart.

She goes into 2nd.

Ooooh. The boys have switched positions. My fellow blonde boy with glasses has won!

[CaroLiza_fan]

Oh drat. They're already onto the next competition. Well, I have to get ready, so they'll have to wait.

We now move to the ISU part of the event with a Junior double-bill. 12 girls; followed by 1 boy. The 12 girls are arranged into two groups of 6.

Livestream for the Junior Ladies FS is now on air.

Oh dear. I was 1 skater behind during the Advanced Novices. It now looks like I'm 3 skaters behind.

If the resurfacings are going to be as quick as that last one, I'm going to need there to be two resurfacings before the Senior Ladies if I am to be caught up by the time they come on. Because I really want to see Aleksandra LIVE.

[CaroLiza_fan]

I know it's been a while since she was on, but I had to comment about skater #2, Emelie-Louise RINNE (EST). She had some really massive bruises on both of her legs before she started.

She had a fall, but it wasn't too big. That said, she slid along the ice, and out of camera shot. So, we couldn't tell if she hit the boards before getting up.

However, when she was coming off, you could see she was in pain. And she was crying because of it. And she continued crying while waiting for her results.

If she was already injured, she shouldn't have been out there.

She went into second and last position in both FS and overall.

[CaroLiza_fan]

This is funny. I am watching Varvara MOROZOVA (EST) waiting for her scores here. And I am frantically refreshing the Dragon Trophy livescoring page as my kid Varvara ABRAMKINA (CYP) is next to get her scores there!

OK, Abramkina has got her scores, but Morozova is still waiting.

Boys but that took a long time to come through!

Morozova goes into 4th and last position.

One of the girls sitting with her is not at all impressed with the scores. Varvara herself doesn't seem that bothered, though.

[CaroLiza_fan]

Ooooh. Valeria PRUTTSENKO (EST) had the Bronze Medallist in the Advanced Novice Ladies, Elisabeth LEETNA (EST), sitting with her.

Oh, how I wish more of these skaters were like Elisabeth and had jackets with their names on them! It would make it much easier to identify them!

There were actually three girls sitting on the seats. Valeria was sitting at one end with a massive teddy she had been given. Elisabeth was in the middle. And a third girl who I couldn't identify was at the other end, wearing a hoodie with bear ears on it.

So, we had bears at either end!

Valeria went into the lead.

When Krista RUOKOSTENPOHJA (FIN) came out wearing a bright pink dress, I was expecting a Pink Panther or a Barbie programme. I was not expecting an Indian programme! ("Jai Ho" was one of the songs she skated to).

She went into 3rd position.
