Oh I hope so, we haven't seen a senior lady land a real 3A for such a long time!

Indeed! Plus, personally, I have a soft spot for her, have for quite a while. I love that she's a fighter and it would be something to see her beat those odds and make a come back. She has not had it easy at all so I'm waving that flag for her

I've loved her since her debut in the US- she always had lovely spins and a spiral that extended so well. Add in her smiles when she was young. Plus, think about the field when she competed in 2010-it was amazing that at such a young age and with so much pressure she got fourth.

 

Not sure about Wakaba's dress. It doesnt do her body shape any favours... and the top part reminds me of Osmond's in how low it is etc.. and I don't really like Osmond's on her either. And sparkles like that for Skyfall? Hmmmmmm.... will wait to see it during the program though. 

 

 

 

 

This is something unusual

I've never seen Evgenia's fall in a practice.

 Same and wasn't that something? Sigh, I try not to play the what-if mental games when it comes to her as it makes me feel down but on the other hand, come on girl. Tap it to some of that, and blow them all away. All she needs is a gradual confidence builder, so as long as she can land the 3A (<) and then clean up the rest, she could be on her way to  the Nats in a great shape. Knock on wood, I'd love to see her in PC.

I'll reserve final opinion until I see it in action but at first sight I really don't like Wakabas dress- it looks bunched up at the sides of the skirt and not very flattering.

Jackie Wong's ladies group 1 practice notes:

 

 

And men's Group 2:

 

If anybody had told me a few months ago that today, I'd not only understand all of that but I'd find it intriguing because I even know what the individuals listed need to watch out for and what they're hoping for...

Not shocked at Med falling in practice. If it happens in the competition I will be surprised.

She's just getting her fall quotas done so she can't use them for the rest of the season.
