Liam's jump axes give me heart attacks and it looks like Selevko's luck has deserted him. All I ask now is for Roman and Jun to have a goooood night. Am I asking too much?

Ah God... poor Donovan. It started so well... Not too bad a job from Wesley though

He actually did a decent job of YOLOing the layout and saving the program. And he is very charming. Dinh shows potential

PCS = Preferred Competitor Score 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

What. The. Freaking. HeLL. Kinda judging is this?!!!! No fricking WAY Knierim & Fraser were better than Deanna & Maxim. Like .....🤪 F*CK THE USFSA

Really nice skate by the Canadian pair!

It looks great rinkside. Maybe doesn't translate well on TV? Also, once again with the weird-ass scores...Isabeau was very delightful but I would have put Haien above her. Kaori obviously wasn't happy with her skate even before the scores but she still merited 1st place IMO. But the score itself? Yoyr guess is as good as mine

Katia is simply delightful to watch!

Kaori looking powerful as she should

Everyone wants a dress llike Ahsun Yun's. So pretty!

Suddenly the crowd got busier. Huge influx of people coming in for women's SP.

I can't understand the 79 and the 82. I'm not quibbling with the placements but man I do not understand ice dance scoring

So Shane & Carolane missed on the end of their twizzles - she rotated one more time than him 😬 Audience did not like the scores

KanaDai just did a fabulous job! They were practicing that lift so hard on Thursday

I hope everyone's watching....lots of fun in the ice dance programs today!

Honestly all the skating was excellent. The only flaws were the flubbed jumps. I haven't seen such an across-the-board good-at-skating skills group of men in a long time.

I will say this about Roman: he stayed on his feet even when his jumps went wrong, which is an improvement. 2019 Roman would have been on his butt with those. So he's still getting better. Kao's skate was absolute magic. He nailed every detail. And he held the audience's attention riveted throughout. He deserved his high scores. (In case anyone's wondering, I'm at SkAm this weeked. Section 107, row H, seat 4 if satellites want to visit.) If I may dip in pairs for a moment: it was sheer joy to watch both (sweetly drama-free) skates by the Canadians. So nice to see a clean short program from any Canadian team.

GO JUN!!!!!!

...looks like Malinin heard me when I said at Worlds that he needed to grow and mature as a performer. That was a great program.

Say a prayer that we have solid Roman tonight and not flopsky....😬

That was a heartbreaker, but here in the rink the audience was with him Now please cheer young Wesley!

Thanks! I find that Yuzu inspires a little extra-ness when it comes to self-expression, don't you? 🥰

Beautiful but except in the first photo, he loooks like an entirely different person.

With good reason! I can remember when we all would hyperventilate over a tiny flash of collarbone...now look!

Has... has this been poSt-*voice breaks* -tEdeD? Once more, and I quote: !!! *strangled and faint voice* Yuzu what are you wearing 😳 in the first pic...
