I will keep my negative comments to myself on the first warmup group. All I have to say is that I hope the rest of the competition is not ANYTHING like the first group. Also, I would like Tonia to STFU for 5 seconds and stop talking about herself. No-one cares.
Kristiene Gong - Looks fit, like the new under-the-boot tights look. Stood up on 6 triples, but a few were possibly under rotated. It's nice to see someone try and land more than one triple in the senior ladies event. Spins had good positions, but were a little slow. Frank Carroll is happy. 99.18 - I guess her triples were rotated.
Ellie Kawamura - Nice start, but the jumps fell apart after her first combination. Nice layback spin. Her skating looks heavy and labored - especially during her spiral sequence. Many double jumps after the half-way point. 76.75
Kelsey Traunero - Nice performance, including two triple flips, two triple sals, and two double axels. She fell once, and messed up on the second half of some combinations, but a solid performance overall. Nice spins and presentation. She looks happy. 86.02.
Melissa Bulanhagui - Strong start with the sal, lutz, and flip all landed. 3 jump combo looked under rotated on all three jumps, but next two triples look fine. This music is so over used, and there have been many interpretations better than hers. Overall, nice jumps, but spins, spirals, and steps could be improved. Very happy at the end. 99.17.
Danielle Kahle - Rough start with misses on all three opening jump elements. I like her dress - it's very elegant. Ends up landing two jumps cleanly - a triple toe and a double flip. Struggles on her final spin. Not her best. 71.74.
Kristine Musademba - Starts with a fall on an under rotated triple flip, flying sit spin, followed by another fall on a triple flip. Lands the sal and loop, but has to fight for them. Nice connections and speed throughout her spiral sequence, holds onto a triple toe. Combo spin done OK, another toe, no combo, almost falls on spin at the end. 76.59.
