If she would ever bother to straighten her knees, stop rushing into every element and concentrate on making it look presentable, clean her lines, work on a good air position... ahh... this can go on and on. Junior level skating, yet powerful and under the right flag.

The male version of Daria is the Persian Darius. Darius I (Darius the Great) conquered everybody he could find and established the most extensive empire of his day. It lasted for a couple of hundred years until his descendant, Darius III, was defeated by Big Sasha (Alexander the Great) in 331 BCE.
Yes. Skating skills are skating skills, transitions are transitions, choreography is choreography, interpretation is interpretation, performance is performance. That's the whole point of CoP. What has changed in term of technical requirements that caused PCS to change? Different technical requirements change skating skills? In that case, Yuka Sato's skating skills are probably in line with Dabin Choi's skating skills, no?
Late commenter here!
Loved Ashley's presentation and commitment to her work. Was not a fan previously but I love her presence on the ice now- she's developed into a fabulous diva!
Anna was as brill as ever IMHO, but what a shame about Laurine Lecavelier and Nicole Rajicova :-(

She is a different league. It's getting more and more clear. One of a kind.

Anyone else think Isadora Williams was amazing today? It's a shame someone can skate so well and not get to skate in the finals because I'd like to see her FS as much as anyone else.

I think she's starting to really grow on me:
I enjoyed a lot of the skaters who didn't end up qualifying. It almost makes me wish there were more spots in the final (although I understand why they cap it at 24). I liked Isadora a lot. Shuran Yu also stood out to me.

No, Med isn't slow. I think the whole point is that so many people have the idea that being fast = good SS. I think Med has this intrinsic quality and personality about her that will make judges get all beaming and feel good and in a generous mood. It really is her real strength, something which Sasha Cohen used to get as well. Unfortunately when you take a step back and look, is her SS in the 9s??? The choreo is really in the 9s??? For her SP, I agree she will get perfect 10 for PE and IN from me (yikes) but errr, SS will only be at most 7.5 to 8 and TR will get about 8.5 for quantity. The choreo being a muck around first half and then bam bam bam is a bit imbalanced and should be max only 8.5 because she does carry it out with precision.

damn Wakaba was robbed big time.
She scored 65 in her GP for doubling her 2F which didn't count....
She nailed everything here and got lowballed on her PCS.
That was totally a 70 skate.

Clarification - she got totally lowballed on her SS component. Which of the ladies really skim across the ice with deep edges and smooth turns like Wakaba? Probably only CaroK. Unfortunately, Wakaba still hadn't developed the sort of projection and expressiveness which comes naturally to people like Zhenya and Kaetlyn which makes the judges less generous on the PE/IN/CH components. Sadly, PCS truly is subjective.

So whazzup whatif? Seems like the only thing that "bombed" here, were your predictions. Not to worry ...you and chuckm predicted similar, so misery likes company.
Also, the name is "Osmond", so that you know, for the next time you need to eat crow.
