Packing my bags today for France.  Adam all the way for me with a side order of Kazuki.  Anyone else planning to go?

I’ll be there too! I’m leaving tonight.

Rough practice for Kazuki in his music run through but he seemed to land the jumps outside of it.  Highlight of today he signed my event log and I got a lovely picture.  He's adorable.

 

Adam.  I just love his sets.  Initial pose and start moves are so sharp.  Beautiful to watch.  Exciting Arabians towards the end.

 

Sihyeong just gets better and better.  His body shape makes for some stunning lines. I enjoyed watching him very much.

 

Mae seems to be still struggling with her injury but in between jumps really lovely and looks like she put a lot of effort into her expressiveness which has much improved.

 

Mana had a couple of hard flat falls both in the same place.

 

Haein was gorgeous and Yelim attacks her programme big time.  

 

In the absence of Peng and Jin? Deanna and Maxime plus Rebecca and Filippo impressed.  Filippo singing along as he skated.

 

In the Dance I loved Molly and Dimitre the Gloria Estefan music really suited them and got you tapping your feet.  Loicia and Theo were good too.

 

 

Wow a really good skate for Mae after all the health struggles she had in recent years

Great job by Mae Berenice! Way to go at home GP. 

Rion, oh no, the lutz... However, her skating is beautiful and she deserves way better camera work.

Not a bad score considering the lutz mistake.

Goog job by Mana! She looks way more collected than last I saw her.
However, Idk how her components got higher marks than Rion.

Nice skate Mana!
Also thank god, it seems that after Canada we have a normal audience again.

The camera work is so disturbing.. 

Olga has so much potential but unfortunately she doesn't deliver often, I wish they'd changed something to help her

Haien oh no

Loena's short does nothing for me, I think she can sell it a bit better

I liked French team Marie and Thomas, maybe not so fast and refined as some more advanced teams, but at least the program was interesting, fun, creative and watchable.
