I'm trying to figure out how a skate filled with so many brilliant jumps was so damn boring. To me.

I suspect y'all will think I'm crazy, but of the top three I enjoyed Mone's program the most. I agree with the placements and am thrilled for Kaori, but Mone did it for me today.

The arms are driving me crazy.

My highlight: Olga Mikutina!

As an avid Balkan folkdancer, I loved that!

I get that Meatloaf music is fun, but how do you actually skate to it? They could have been skating to any other music. There was no connection until the very very end.

I think I enjoyed Ellie and Danny the most. I don't know why, but I just love how they skate together in spite of their inevitable mistakes.

So sad. I can't help but think he should have skated to music that's more relaxing and fun. I know that's a stupid thought, but I'm thinking it anyway.

Well, shoot. I really wanted a gold for C/B. No, wait, I really wanted it for the Browns. But that was a long shot I suppose.

I just watched Nathen Chen's short program from the 2022 Olympics. I really miss him. Having said that, I totally loved Yuma and Adam yesterday.

After C/B skated, my immediate reaction was thank God the 90's are finally over! But five minutes later I remembered we still have World's. Oh man.

I'm glad Ilia is skating before Shun. I enjoy him more if he doesn't follow a Japanese skater.

Just finally watched the men. Yuma was divine! I discovered at Nationals that I enjoy Ilia's skating more in person than on my tv, but I'm pretty sure that even in person his skate today would have hit me as really sloppy.

I was just told that Sonja was sitting in front of me at tonight's competitions. Dagnabit! I didn't know! I could have would have embarrassed myself, so it was probably for the best.

I think that the audience standing and prolonged ovation for the Brown's program may have rivaled the ovation for the top two. That made me happy. Wonderful story telling. Wonderful skating.
