[Bufo viridis]

Really happy for Gold and Leonova, totally deserved their scores today. Murakami did very well too.

 

[rosacotton]

Egads that is close!

 

[Silvia451]

This was what I was waiting for! Lovely performance from Gracie

 

[HanDomi]

She looks so happy

 

[elee63]

Sticking with the same sp was the best thing Gold could have done. She really looks comfortable and confident. But someone needs to teach her how to use her hands and fingers, they're looking like mitts being swung around like that Arms have improved a great deal.

 

[friedbanana]

Nice skating today for the ladies! :-D

 

[satine]

Her skating skills and musicality are indeed in a different league.

BoP killing it :thumbsup:

 

[Snow63]

Four ladies with 60+ score! Wow!

 

[GF2445]

Really happy for Gold and Leonova, totally deserved their scores today. Murakami did very well too.

I would've scored around 66-67 points for Kanako and about 63-65 points for Miyahara. Would maybe give a couple of extra points to Li too.

 

[Meoima]

:shocked: my god the 0.05 point!

 

[begin]

Oh b.esp...Grace Kelly would never windmill.

 

[chezzu]

Wow the Ladies short comp was really, really good So happy for Gold, Miyahara, Leonova and Murakami!

 

[thoakun]

This is the one Satoko is practically guaranteed a podium finish.
It will be interesting to see how Satoko will place with Kanako in Japan. Between the two, I prefer Kanako's SP, and Satoko's LP.

Why do people think that Satoko is guaranteed a podium finish? I can foresee that both Satoko and Kanako would be hammered with URs.

 

[firal]

The Ladies Long would be very interesting, can't wait for tomorrow! Miyahara's LP is so stable and Kanako's has been iffy so things can change drastically.

Does Gracie have the highest PCS?

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

WOW! Gracie into 1st by a toe-pick! I actually thought Alena had the stand-out performance of the night but Gracie did do the 3Z-3T.

I totally did not expect Polina to be in 11th. I hope she redeems herself in the FS and ends her GP season well.

 

[Sandpiper]

Gracie: Best 3-3 of the competition by a mile.

I agree with the placements, to some extent. Though I'd have Alena with a sizable PCS lead, while Gracie has a strong TES lead.

 

[Icey]

Here late. What in the world happened to Polina?

 

[gmyers]

Better ch for Gracie? Lol lol lol! It's expensive but not the best!
