Missed Junior Men and Pairs. The Junior Ladies were all incredible! Kudos to all of them. So happy for Alysa - the girl is fearless and I love her joie de vivre. I really liked Usacheva earlier on the JGP and was pleased to see her skate well here as she had some errors in earlier outings. In Senior Pairs, the Russians were really bringing it - great job! Too bad for the little errors from Sui/Han and Peng/Jin too. And a real shame for MT&M - I don't think I've seen her fall all year, that surprised me. In Senior Men - the big showdown... wow Nathan - best short of the year for him! I too don't care for the shirt but mainly cause it's kinda boring and doesn't relate to the program. But when Nathan skates like that I forgive him for his fashion choices. Yuzuru was great - too bad about the mistake cause it was a costly one. It makes me nervous when skaters do their combo last cause it leaves no room for improvising a later combo, very risky. Still Yuzuru looks to be in the best shape I've seen him in a very long time. Congrats to Kevin for a great skate - after his nervy skates at his last comp, I wasn't expecting that! Good for him. Looking forward to what Day 2 will bring!
