Are we watching the ladies, anyone?

Trusova, doing her long, pops and falls; looks sort of tentative

Currently watching the quad show (aka Trusova)

Looks like Sasha's going for just a 3-quad program here

Is she popping and falling with just a 3-quad program? That's not good!

She is landing them outside of the run through. Sasha looks really nervous.

The 3 quad program run was looking rough. But given that she can land them as a solo jumping pass maybe the issue really comes down to putting them all in a program.

Daria looks so solid and Sasha looks a hot mess. I hope Sasha pulls it together but it would be so dramatic if Daria were to win here.

Sasha's regular combos were looking a bit muscled (reminding me a bit of Medvedeva's style). I hope she is not dealing with stamina issues. Her head seemed to be somewhere else. She was not confused or frustrated, just looked like her mind was somewhere else.

Jesus that collision was so loud hope the 2 skaters are fine.

 

[Dogo]

I am not sure if I would say that Daria was super solid. She stopped midway and her expression was very neutral, a bit more concerned or tired that confident. Eteri was talking to Sasha during Daria's practice, so there is that. She did one 3+2, and two 3+3's. She definitely found the stamina at the end, whereas at the beginning she was more hesitant.

The one who was looking better was Ksenia. Her expression was calmer, seemed to connect with the music, and was confident on her jumping passes.

I wouldn't rule it out!! Love them both however there are some great skaters in this competition. Young You has got to be a dark horse .

Her jumps were smaller, though

She didn't fall on a 3A attempt, although had quite a few with stepouts/turnouts, but otherwise was looking really good

Im not sure who it was exactly it happened in the middle of the rink Skater A was doing some choreo movements in the middle and skater B was skating backwards and skated straight into skater A back
