[invisiblespiral]

...happy for Masha and Choi, sad for Alisa and Yuna... who probably isn't getting another JGP.

I can't see it.....

Fedichkina's Cats program is perfectly fine, but just like I question changing Mikhaylova's SP for her first international season I think Fedichkina would have been better off keeping last years program.

I can't see it.....

Really? That's weird. I was able to click on it fine.

 

[Sophie-Anna]

And I would give it to Yuna, cause I can´t see children cry.

I think everybody from 1st to 7th place fully deserve a medal for their programs. Amber, Alisa and Xiangning Li skated pretty well. For Yuna- she started well with a very difficult combo and she fought with it till the end. I hope she will be better at her next competition because she is really talented.

Kaori SAKAMOTO My favorite program of the day. Can't complain about the podium and in fact I like it but if Kaori skated clean I would have hoped she would have been awarded gold. Such a thing of beauty.

Nvm. It works for me now.

 

[Sophie-Anna]

Masha looks really happy. Good to see her like that

 

[TheGrandSophy]

Kaori is so damn cute when she smiles.

Yes, you're right.

Such a shame for Yuna! I don't think that program deserved to be 10th in the freeskate to be honest. I thought she should have been 6th overall but... Good for amber for getting those combos out and trying the arm variation on the lutz. I really liked both their programs! Maria and Kaori were great! I liked Kaori's lp much better than her short. And it was great to see Da Bin podium!!!! Both of Alisa's programs made no sense to me but...that's just me though.

Amber reminds me a little bit of Gracie Gold. Well actually, more than a little. She's a very talented and athletic skater with great jumping ability, but somehow, it usually just doesn't all come together in competition for whatever reason. I mean, Gracie was consistent as a junior and somehow made a reputation for herself that will keep her afloat when she underperforms these days so she's always in the mix, I just usually feel a little disappointed when watching both girls in competition.

Amber is capable of being REALLY good. Not just 106 FS and 5th place at a JGP good. It's not just the jumps either, her layback spin has gotten incredibly good now too https://instagram.com/p/3NK3-7SvLP/?taken-by=amberglenniceskater and most of the other aspects of her skating are also solid. Hopefully she figures it out one of these days.

To be honest though Gracie was only a Junior internationally for one season and had exactly one JGP event and Jr Worlds so no one knew if she was really a good competitor until she got more experience and skated in more events and sadly she's turned out to be a nervous skater at times.

I agree about everyone from 1st to 7th deserving a medal! I honestly thought that Yuna should have beaten Alisa in components and Li overall, but don't think everyone would agree with me there...

 

[sabinfire]

Masha speaks English well! Kostner is her inspiration. She also said 'everybody' tells her she needs to work on her spins.

Oh I agree with you! I wasn't sold of Alisa's LP at all.

 

[yyyskate]

cute interview from Maria.

 

[yyyskate]

Yuna is a star, Everybody see that! she will get her PCS once she landed all her jumps.

 

[Sugarpova]

very sad for my Alisa from Wonderland liked her more than Masha
Hopefully next time she will have a nice FS!

This girl just flies across the ice.

she's a bird

good podium! Congrats all

(Great interviews with Diana & Maria. Sweet to hear a Latvian speaking russian & a russian speking english)

 

[Totentanz]

I missed Maria's interview, can I see it on the archived videos?
