Italian National Championships, 13–16 December 2017

[JustMe]

That performance by Caro! I think this performance was her best one since worlds 2014, and even better. Would not be surprised if she would get very close to 39.64 points internationally with a skate like this! Wow! Those jumps looked as solid as ever.

I don’t understand some people being butt hurt over her PCS. I mean firstly it’s nationals, it’s always going to be higher. Assuming evgenia goes clean at nationals wait till u see her scores.

Also Carolina skated clean and she does have the best PCS in the world. I mean seriously, what more do you guys want? Like I really wanna know what you think she can improve on ? Besides maybe some more difficult transitions I don’t see what else could be improved

4 retirements including Roberta

You just gave me a scare there, worrying that Elisabetta was one of them.

For the record the other skaters who did not compete were:

Matilde BATTAGIN
Lucrezia GENNARO
Guia Maria TAGLIAPIETRA

Really delighted to see Elisabetta Leccardi in 3rd place despite her recent ankle issues. I see she had a fall, though, so I hope that it hasn't aggrevated anything.

She's got decent cushions to the skaters either side of her. But, given that it is Cristini behind her, I wouldn't say the podium position was safe yet.

Not much between the Top 2 in Men and Pairs. Those are going to be titanic battles in the Frees!

The livestreams from Wednesday and Thursday have been archived, so I hope the same will happen with the livestreams from yesterday and today, as I wasn't able to watch LIVE and this is one event where I definitely will want to catch up. (although, given that each day is one recording, it may take a while to find things... )

ALL THE BEST EVERYBODY!!!

More nuanced interpretation facially, for one, along with transitions and better spins. I'm being nitpicky, I know, but if you're gonna give her 39.64...

Meanwhile, Cappelini/Lanotte were given 82.08 because this is the post-truth moment we're living in right now )))))

Congrats to Nicole and Matteo!

To many mistakes from Valentina and Ondrej. I really thought they had a chance
to win but it did not work out for them today.

GO Anna and Luca!!!!!!
