Catching up now. Sad for Karen and Polina, but happy for the Japanese ladies. If the score stays like this, they're sending fellow countrywoman Wakaba to the GPF.

And I really like the American audience. Cheerful and encouraging to all skaters.

Much better than Fridays dead quiet audience, that's for sure.

The judging as usual makes me mad. In my opinion it should have been: Kaori, Satoko, Sima, the rest...

 

I would have been fine with your choices for the top three. My biggest issue is with Daleman's scoring. I think her programs this year are completely wrong for her and expose her weaknesses as a skater instead of concealing them. 8.36 for interpretation? I don't think so. And she was so sloppy yesterday. (Sloppy skaters really irritate me.)

Gabby has a flutz or at least her edge is flat too. So while Sima has a flutz that doesn’t get called, both of them benefited from the lenient judging panel. I would still put Sima over Gabby in PCS IMO. 

 

Go Satoko!!!  Win this and let Wakaba to make it in the GPF!!! 

Does anyone have a youtube stream for the FP, please?

See the post of Dori6886 above: it should work (beginning in less than 8 minutes...).

Watch 2 posts above!

To be honest, it is a mess in the live chat of the YT stream right now. I suggest closing/hiding it for a little while until the heat goes away.
