to my naked eye, most rotations looked good
It is good that she is branching out but I miss my sunshine dosis

strong skate, should go into the lead

I miss our little miss sunshine too - I feel like this FS is just too heavy.

64.96 TES+59.15 PCS = 124.11

181.98 overall - good score!

And why am I the only one with buffering problems. Our WiFi is fine on everything else.

Young You - this dress is ugly. It looks like they took the brown/beige/gold top of one dress and attached a millennial pink/wine skirt to it. Oh, and to be sure, the top is blinged to the max.

apart from missing the 3-3 at the beginning and only doing a double, this was clean

Good effort from You.

this app is really cool and you see skaters and coaches looking at it as well - is it the first time that it is in use?

Hmmm - tech panel has invalidated her 2nd to last spin!

I dunno, but I would love to have the ISU use this for all the JGPs, GPs and Challengers. It's great!

60.71 TES + 58.21 PCS = 117.92

181.80 overall - falls behind Kurakova

this program is a snooze but overall she looks much sharper and better trained than Young You
last step sequence finally has some interesting choreo

 

[Colonel Green]

One pop (I think), but this is a well-constructed program.

but only if they do the live wedgie as well on the normal site - is not that hard and not everyone wants to download an extra app

 

[Karen-W]

Haein - dress is... interesting. The skirt is a minty/sage green that ombres into a chocolate-y brown around the torso and then back to the green for the upper bodice. There are white/cream cords wrapped around the torso and an almost halter-style neckline - hard to describe - the shoulders are bare, and then the sleeves are the minty/sage green down to about 3/4 where they ombre into the chocolate-y brown again - oh, and the sleeves are bell-shaped.

I actually don't hate this dress, the more I look at it.

Haein's getting dinged by the tech panel so far...

Who would have guessed that Kurakova would have lesser downgrades than Lee? Miss Sunshine seems on the right track!

Summertime! Everyone clutch your pearls!

 

[Karen-W]

Schizas dress - gorgeous light turquoise - music is Summertime - halter style neck that is jeweled with large stones, same large stoning effect on one hip.

You're not. This feed is such a mess, it's making me not want to pay for any Challengers in future.

 

[Colonel Green]

Not generally a big fan of "Summertime" as skating music and I've always been a bit confused as to why it's such a staple, but Maddie's program makes pretty good use of it.

A couple of stumbles, but no pops or falls, and she landed her nemesis triple flip, so this is a positive start to the season proper. Not sure it's enough to stay on the podium, though she had almost 10 points on Kurakova so maybe.

 

[Karen-W]

I'm not having any problems and haven't had any problems with the feed yesterday or today so far.

Apart from Day 1 of Lombardia, Solidsport has had no issues for me.

 

[PRlady]

I just can’t appreciate Schizas. I don’t know if it’s the shoulders or the jerky movement but she just doesn’t impress me.

The feed works fine on my end.

same here but I don't know why either - I think it is her fake facial impression during the skate

Rather easily.

59.24 TES + 62.22 PCS = 121.46

188.88 overall

 

[Colonel Green]

And that's the bronze medal (probably).

 

[Wyliefan]

It seems to have settled down for now. Had weird browser issues getting here, though. And it did not want to play on my phone.
