Rino got 2nd highest PCS after Kaori??

Judges for once I really love you

Wow it seems Maddie either has a stunning SP or a stunning FS. Hope she can have both at one competition!

Oh and shout out to Rino, her program was really amazing, I love her skating style

 

[FlossieH]

Yay! Gonna go bake my apple cake and wait for pairs!

I will see you there. You will have to bring me a slice of that cake to keep me going. It's getting late here.

You a Gryffindor? Then I'm a Hufflepuff

well... you know... i took a pottermore test a million years ago, when dumbledore was still alive... and it said gryffindor... maybe I morphed into something else over the years but you are no hufflepuff no matter how much you'd try.

I don't know if I even want to say in which house I am then, sheesh

It's just that 4everchan is so Slytherin in many ways, believe me I'm a Ravenclaw and I'm brainy

150+ in the FS for Sakamoto just like I suspected the score would be. Not too shabby for October!

Well, the programs seem to work for her...

I like this LP better than she short which is nothing but a bore.
And sure, skaters should try different styles.
Still I have two issues with this style for her, the first one being that I would love her to be a frontrunner for a different style for women's skating: powerful, modern, fast, sportive. And secondly I think she will never be the best at this style. I will always feel there are others who can do this better - while I can't think of anyone who would have skated the Matrix program like her.

Anyway, that was a satisfying skate from Kaori.

And I'm proud of it! I am a proud Ravenclaw through and through

did benoit also do kaori's LP.. because really, he needs to change tones.

When is the medal ceremony for the women? I need to see my baby got her medal!

I'm a Ravenclaw! It suits me well as my personality type is Logician! INTP-T to be more exact (a turbulent subtype).

My favorite programs/performances here were:
1. Maddie
2. Rino
3. Lara Naki
4. Lindsay

Most impressive goes to Kaori though, class above everyone else.

It's just that 4everchan is so Slytherin in many ways, believe me I'm a Ravenclaw and I'm brainy

why? I don't think a Slytherin could handle even a quarter of my paramours.

You have to think of the houses like a Venn diagram - There's always some overlap of characteristics

Slytherins are the nobles, and the nobles are the ones who had many paramours?

I'm guessing they'll do it after ice dance... is this the first GP medal for Rino?!? Totally deserved, imo!

Nope, that was Marie-France

Then I have Hufflepuffness? Me?

what makes me sound like a noble ? the fact that i dislike bad music ?

 

[icewhite]

Well, this was classic Kaori. A master of technique she has clearly become at this point. And good enough of an artist to be interesting and not leave me with any complaints.

Overall, my favourite and most personally impressive today remains Madeline. But, it is quite evident Kaori deserved the win today in regards to pure score. I didnt notice any glaring deductions today either, but I'm not an expert in that.

By the way, interesting to see 2-3-2 combos - you dont tend to get those in Russia.

I think you have been very fair to everyone.
