I so hope Alaine Chartrand has a good skate. I don't need her to make the podium at this point, I just want her to go clean and boost her confidence a bit.
Really cannot wait to see Marin and Alina, but my guess is both will make some mistakes. Marin has not skated her programs in public that much, and Alina had a melt down at the test skate. Mai might be the winner at this competition.
It’s gonna be hard for Alina. Her programs are so packed. I wish they could make them tiny bit easier in terms of transitions so that she has time and space to prepare for the jumping passes. GS will show whose bet is best. Zhenya has flutz validated as lutz, hardly any transitions, as most other girls, so why bother filling the program making it very hard to breathe?
She’s getting started, but I will evaluate her in the Grand Prix series
It's a Mai vs Alina situation. Mai has the consistency and experience to get ahead of Alina.
I think Marin's prone to mistakes but I'm excited to see her fs.
I love Marin's Fs music too. I am also curious about her dress! Can't wait for all of them tbqh, and am a bit sad I couldn't go this year. But I'm cheering from afar!
