I'm really impressed with Ava being able to come out on fire in the Short. She had to have a lot of pressure on her with probably a lot of people second guessing her choice to skip US nationals. She's done well to make herself first alternate thus far.

This was a good event. Glad to see the stands aren’t so empty anymore. It’ll be interesting to see how Chiba handles being at the top going into the free. She’s a nervy skater, but she’s also been much more consistent than she has been in the past. I hope she keeps her head about her. Go for the gold! I think that was Watanabe’s best skated short. Japanese gals represented today.

Mihara was given gifts. I thought she’ll be at 62. She shouldn’t be that high with the mistake she made. ….As opposed to Thorngren who just can’t get a break even when she’s clean with one of the best SPs this year.

Agreed. Not sure how Mone scored so high, but maybe I was distracted by her nervous, scared expression... Enjoyed Chaeyeon and Ava the most.
I thought Mone was going to flop because she was so tense at the beginning, but then the music started and she had the most amazing flow in her skating.

After a shaky start to her season, great to see Mone finally skating to her potential. Agreed that she looked so nervous throughout her SP but she was lowballed a bit in skating skills, I think. Hopefully, her nerves does not get the better of her tomorrow, especially when she is skating last.

no :( don't cry haein </3333
i feel so bad, her old SP was really nice so i'm a bit confused as to why she changed it, but i see the potential. i hope she's able to pick herself back up for the free skate.
This. I loved that SP it was the first program I've loved from Haein since she was a junior. Why did she change it?

Protocols are up.

I don't think Mone deserved an 8 in presentation mark today, she kept her nervous scared expression throughout... And this is coming from me Mone fan who think that she's usually underscored in PCS. But not today 😶
Yes, I agree. She deserved the choreo mark and the SS but not the presentation mark. It's nice to see her get rewarded though..
