Tiny Queen :luv17:

 

[draqq]

what is Johnny talking about? A "messy quality" about her skating? What was messy about that? Am I missing something?

I would say that her arms can sometimes break her top line and aren't as finished off, and maybe she could have more precise positions, but that's really it. She's wonderful otherwise.

Give Kaori her "My TES survived the technical panel" t-shirt.

Rotate, Tiny Queen, rotate!

 

[cheerknithanson]

All clean! Surprised they didn't call -3T since they called some others. Good job Kaori!

Maybe some of us are getting paranoid cause of the tech panel.

 

[CellarDweller]

lol what

That's what he said about Kaori's skating....she has a "messy quality" to it.

???

 

[IceBallerina]

yes! 71.29! Where are all those people who placed her fourth in the SA predictions thread?

Uhh....

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Satoko is joining the ranks of Akiko and Yuna for consistently best dressed

 

[TripleAxelQueens3]

who would have thought that Sofia Samodurova could make it to the top 3?

To me it looked a little wild and a bit messy (upper body). I liked it though!

 

[s_parks]

I love this dress. And hot damn, that's the best rotated 3-3 I've seen her do.
Well, we know who should lead pcs...

Me!

True. On reply I could see a hooky landing, so I wasn't sure.

 

[TripleAxelQueens3]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

[kimi492]

That double axel looked iffy

 

[theharleyquinn]

There may be no question about her jumps today. That 3Lz3T was great.

 

[klutzonice]

SHIVERS AGAIN! Ahhh Tiny Queen, thank you!

 

[rachno2]

Nobody skates like Satoko

 

[invisiblespiral]

Satton is lovely.

And now I shall go to bed.

 

[anonymoose_au]
