Sofia T is raring to go! I love her, seriously! Very nervous for her though! Can she make top 10 with a really good skate? I can't math so I don't know. And this time I'm not skipping ahead with my reading (Although I did see she landed one of her 4S's).

Anyway some nice costumes here.

LOL the name of the band for the first skater's music is "BadBadNotGood" - I think it was a bad week for them when started up

Lyuba had an a fantastic skate so go her!

And now Sofia T. She's sooooo fast! Like no fear! 2 3As! And the 4S combo!

Aw she's so happy! My bad mood from yesterday is healed.

Do I dare hope for an amazing score?!

She broke 200 points! Hooray

Emotional Titova near the boards:
-I knew that I'll do the second salchow. I knew that I did it in training.
-And where is the first one?
-I wasn't afraid and went for it.
-Well done, that's right.

Evgeni Viktorovich called her a fighter in K&C. Sonya wasn't happy with the score though.

Oh thank you I wasn't sure what was being said.

I managed to figure out "Good salchow" in the KnC, but that's the extent of my linguistic ability

Gulp OK here we are with Nika Z and Sofia T is still in 1st.

Just to show how biased I am I don't even mind that it's the terrible scary lady Roxannnne.

Second half 4T!

That TES! Wow!

Now that's a comeback and a half! Nika isn't going down without a fight

I wonder what score she'll get... Waaaaits... A huge one! She finally knocks Sofia T from top spot.

NGL I'm half tempted to stop watching and pretend that's the standings, but nah I'll refrain.

by who? themselves?

Not so funny story, but I read an article where a Russian judge flat out said they scored Sasha Trusova lower because of "you know who" being her coach at the time, before going on about GOE or something.

I was like "Wow, you said the quiet part loud and the loud part quiet."

Doesn't seem to have happened in this case, but they put it out there.
