Yay another clean skate from Maria! 

That was actually nice from Maria,

Over 200! Great job, Maria!

Go, Liza!! Her dress would actually be beautiful if she would let go that white thingie ...

Liza's program is not bad, if she nails all her jumps it could be even better...

 

Liza

 

Her (fashion) style is really not my cup of tea.

 

3Lz a bit 2-footed

3Lz3T, toeloop might be <

3F fall

(Maria might have won)

3T-2T sequence

missed that one

3S

2A-2A sequence

Was that a cantilever?

 

Her jumps are really big. But her 2A, did she lose her 3A for real?

I do not like this program, her SP is much better

I can't believe Liza placed below Caro.

She lost to Carolina because of her lower PCS.

 

Congratulations to the medalists!

 

Congratulations Maria! Great job!

 

...And yes, I can't believe Liza placed below Caro. Caro must really be amazing to watch live...

 

While I am all for rewarding quality with higher PC, I am not sure Carolina deserved silver here. She made mistakes in both programs and I do think that a skater needs to deliver on both the technical and artistic aspects to win. Anyway, it is done and there no point being annoyed by it  

 

Congratulations to the medalists   

congrats to the medalist!

Special congrats to Maria, she really deserved to win(though I could do with more lively programs)

I think in Caro's FS the relative lack of TR is very apparent compared to the SP, there are too many partes that just feel like big big voids. I love watching her glide on her blades, but a competitive program has other elements, but . Caro and her scores are the living proof that TES don't always override the PCS...

That said, tbh Liza's FS was a bit empty too (and why that white shirt?)

so sad for Gabby

 

tbh the programs I've enjoyed the most in the last group are Alena's and Angela's. I'd have liked Gabby's too, if it weren't for how it went
