It's good to hear that Caroline is more comfortable with her triples now. Can't wait to see her programs a bit more polished than they were over the summer. As for the 3R-3R, I am doubtful she will have it ratified.. Like someone said, one 3R on the back end of a combo is hard enough, but two in combo? Especially for someone like Caroline who isn't known for her jumps, I don't believe the tech panel will be kind. That said, I'm all for being pleasantly surprised. 
Can't wait to see Alissa Czisny's upgraded tech content as well. Definitely a step in the right direction.

Love Carolina's music choices this season! I like her strategy regarding her jumps. I think she has a good shot at the World title. So excited for a full day of skating!!!!!
Ladies practice (from memory):
Caroline looking very happy and relaxed. Chatting and joking with her coaches. Clean run through of SP: 3f2t 3r 2a. Marked all spins. 2a still not much Flow but better height.
Otherwise saw her fall on a very tilted flutz then later land one. A clean 3r3r (only one attempt). A much improved camel spin. Nice pearl bielmann. A little more speed and power in her skating. Like the attention she pays to details in her footwork. Don't see how she can include a 3-3 in her FS without either 3s or 3t though.
Carolina kosnter: she didnt do many triples.those she did didn't have much flow on landing. Looks like she plans 3t3t in SP. but only a scratchy one landed outside program. Marked all her iumps in run through.
Keshia markarova: beautiful presence. 3t<3t<< fall in sp run through. Marked other jumps. Can't remember if she did a 2a. Saw her landing to ur'ed 3t3t earlier. Then some falls. Not looking good jump wise. Didn't realize she's so tall. Almost Carolina's height.
Elena G: more fit and thinner this year. Very tilted in the air for many jumps. Esp 2a. My coach mentioned she always looks down. Now I can't help seeing it all the time. Nice height on the 3z. Looking fierce w her tango program.
Haruja Imai: she's so cute and tiny! The smallest and youngest here by far. Some nice 3r done falls. Ok 3z2t (e?). In pants costume. Diff from all the other girls.
Alissa Ciszny: 3z2t 3f 2a in run through. Marked spins. Some more clean 3f and 3z outside program. At least one fall. I think on 3f.
Valentina marchei: she's much smaller in person than I thought. I thinks she marked her jumps in run through. Saw some nice 3z2t and 2a after.
Helgesson sisters: not into their edge work posture or skating skills. They both landed some nice triples outside programs which they only marked all jumps and spins.
Joelle forte: saw a nice 3z2t. A hesitant telegraphed but clean 3f.
I think Alissa should have the gold if she competes as well as practice. Then Caroline Valentina and Carolina and Elene battling out for silver and bronze.
