aaaand my stream cuts out
THERE IS NO LIVESTREAM AT THIS TIME. PLEASE CHECK BACK LATER. Oh, like heck there's not.

I missed the rest but she's smiling and the crowd seems happy!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Ooh, what a nice start to the competition!

 

[cathlen]

Alena making sure she's on the SB list next season!

Alena Leonova

- Good 3T+3T combo (+2)
- Solid 2A (+2)
- Flying spin, fairly good positions, last position could be held longer (+2)
- Great 3F (+3)
- Layback spin, a bit of a struggle, not great positions (+0)
- Step sequence with fairly good commitment, could utilize the space more (+2)
- Nice combo spin to finish the program (+2)

Steady, calm performance in the short. No mistakes and no URs for me unless they are very strict on the second 3T (we'll have to see).

[kevinVchicago]

Ooh, what a nice start to the competition!

Agree!

 

[satine]

Super proud of Leonova

 

[Lota]

So proud of Alena, makes me wanna cry. After all her misfortunes and failures it's so nice to see her happy and smiling after a great performance.

 

[chaser]

Alena. That is jumping with no question marks, exclamation marks or any other symbol attached. Absolutely landed backwards and taking off correctly. Wonderful to see.

 

[mirai4life]

Will Courtney ever get rid of her terrible 3F-3Lo? Why can't she just do 3F-3T

 

[satine]

Courtney's styling looks great today. Nice, flattering outfit and I love her hair :thumbsup:

 

[waterfall braid]

Well done Alena! She looks so happy!

 

[kevinVchicago]

Wow, this music is perfect for Hicks. I have actually never ever liked a program of hers before. She seems to have totally reinvented herself with Kori Ade.
