The free skates (at least the later groups/last group) are usually on TV.

But the skates will probably appear on Youtube at least for a little while before they're pulled off for copyright.

Off to a great opening with Ashley Cain 3F-3T , 3LO, 2A

 

[samson]

That was quite a start. Hmmm I think she'll get that toe. If she does we'll probably see our first 60+ sp of the night right away.

Ashley Cain. She is 18 years old.
Navy and royal blue dress, bit of ombre/dip dye going on. Backless. Slightly ruffled skirt. Loads of sparkle!
Blue flower in side bun.

3F3T - she looked a little tentative but landed it
Crowd is clapping as the music gets going
3L - nice
She is really performing this program nicely.
Camel spin, changefoot, catchfoot, sit
Nice spiral into double axel - nails it!
Lots of variety in the step sq with different levels and nice choreo. She is a very smooth skater.

Huge fist pump to finish!!!! She looks thrilled.

She is so happy in the KnC. Having a tear!

61.45!

 

[samson]

61.45! And she's thrilled.

 

[mirai4life]

Almost 35 for Technical.

[mateusp1]

A Brazilian friend that paid for the streaming just told me;

Francesca Chiera
Matrix (!!!)

steps 3Lz, shaky
3F+2T, lean on the landing
combo spin
2A ok
change foot spin

 

[mice]

Franchesca Chiera
Interesting costume. Dark green with black dress, long sleeved with black sheer gloves. Belt above skirt. Deep v front.


Is it just me or does she look a little like blond Agnes!!

3lz - huge! Scratchy landing a little forward on her toe
3F 2T - I think the flip got away on her a little
Nice positions in the combo spin...she loses a little speed...
2A - nice
Spin - sit, flying sit...
Step sq - little trip to begin...
Spin - layback, one handed biellmann variation.

She looks pleased in the KnC!

52.81 and she is in 2nd.

 

[lilshorty]

Just got home from a meeting. Glad I didn't miss much!

Thanks to everyone who is giving play by play of the competition. You guys are the best!

And yay to Ashley Cain for a 60+ SP score!

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Much appreciation for the updates! Wow, go Ashley Cain!

I remember her from last year (although unfortunately, what I remember most is her hating on Wagner winning... "Like, how is [Wagner's win] that even possible?" or something bitchy like that )

Here's hoping for Cain setting a strong precedent for skates to come.

 

[mice]

Barbie Long - white one shouldered dress - lots of ruffly detail on strap and bodice. Matching decoration in her bun.

Opening with a flying sit spin.
Step sq is elegant but seems slow to me. Gets a little off balance near the end.
3Lz 2T with arms above her head - nice
Layback spin and biellmann
3L - tight on the landing
2A
Back sit, V, changefoot catchfoot.

A nice program but it didn't excite me and not one I will remember.

Wow, they are taking ages with her scores.

55.55 and she is in 2nd.
