[Naya]

Alena was great!!! I love this program.

 

[chezzu]

Really nervous for the Japanese ladies now

 

[Blades of Passion]

68? Excuse me?

 

[GF2445]

Jo, excuse me, but not everyone wears a skirt anymore. It's 2014. Sometimes they aren't worn :sarcasm:

Wow this commentator sounds really bad

PB for Alena

 

[GF2445]

YES!!!!! 68.11
Well deserved.

 

[EdgeCall]

Alena tech content is probably is not in the absolute world top elite, but I think her interpretative skills are in the top five.

Wow, 68.11! :shocked:

 

[Snow63]

And here I thought she doesn't have a chance for the podium :think:

WOW! What a score!

 

[Globetrotter]

i think she deserves higher on the PCS. That was such a fun and energetic and inspiring performance.

 

[satine]

Wow this commentator sounds really bad

To give her a break, she did praise Alena generously after her program... I don't think the comments about the costume were necessary though.

 

[HanDomi]

Kana

 

[Totentanz]

Massive score I'm so happy for her!! Remembering her crying so many times (like Skate America 2012 short ) after getting silver at 2012 Worlds.

 

[Snow63]

IMO, she's still underscored in PCS.

 

[Trewyn]

Huuuge score for Leonova! She's a SP-skater and even though I'm not her biggest fan, her SP does make me 'smile', and I love watching her enjoy skating it so much!

 

[gmyers]

Wow leonova did spectacular

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

WOW! 68.11! Well deserved Alena!

 

[GF2445]

Phantom of the Opera must've been showing in Japan. So many of Japanese skaters are skating to it...

Also, great showing from Kanako. We have a competition on our hands (potentially)

 

[HanDomi]

Kanako is on

 

[Maria Victoria]

Kanako!
