Don't know how to make heads and tails of Hannah - partly pretty good and partly pretty mediocre.

Giveher some time. She's only been training with Rafa for a few months now. Hannah's basic skating skills and presentation are already good and I hope that Rafa will be able to help her with her jumps.

Yikes, looks like Miller's TES dropped almost 10 points after she skated. Again...

Yes but that would only guarantee her one spot... I share others bafflement about how she managed to get two.

Honestly, and I really do say this without malice as I do like her, I think it really might have been better for her not to have these disappointing outings (or to only have one of them) and be able to devote more time to training and trying to fix her issues, which are at this point major and really holding her back.

Yes, but in general if you're in the top 24 you likely get 2. It's not dance where there are limited spots.

I do agree with you on the rest.

This dress!

I think this is the first time we've disagreed on a costume. But, to it's credit, I knew exactly what music she was skating to when I saw it.

I'd recommend Sam-Skwantch.

I really liked that but a big part of it is probably the My Fair Lady fangirl inside of me...

Riona's dress is pretty, too. It reminds me of mao's fs dress in 07-08.

She is a solid skater, but needs more expression.

Seems there is a new fad or maybe just back to years ago when music cuts were abrupt and didnt make sense.
It doesn't help with artistry at all.

Yep, it's so '80s/Tonya Harding-style! Come on guys..

Needs more expression, but this is a good start for Riona. She needs to go to Akiko to learn some presentation. But good job.

Good skate! Happy for Riona. (That should be an e for her Lz-T, however.) Congrats to her! Also, her spirals are a beauty.

Actually, it totally does! I liked Czardas better than this by a long shot, but the dress was first-rate. :yes:

Just realising a comment that's starting to be cliche from Eurosport ....

When noting Kato doing a Western theme...."The mixture of culture this sport brings" Not sure how many times I heard that from the same commentator.
