Dimitra Korri, GRE: 30.39 TES + 29.87 PCS = 60.26  Total: 91.62
  • Very slow into her double axel and hands down on the landing
  • Double flip + double toe and has to put her foot down on the 2nd landing
  • Double salchow
  • Could use more stretch through her camel spin but a nice low sit position; slow but speed maintained throughout
  • A bit wobbly on some of the one foot steps in her step sequence and not a lot of speed or flow across the ice
  • Double flip
  • Double axel + double toe
  • Double lutz + double toe + double toe
  • Double loop
  • Nice low sit spin into a good back tuck position
  • Good flexibility through the catch foot camel spin into a nice broken leg sit spin

Brittany Lau, SIN: 26.25 TES + 30.40 PCS -1.00 = 55.65 Total: 83.44 and into 2nd place
  • Double flip + double toe
  • Really up on the ice in her step sequence and not down into her edges at all
  • Good speed in her spin but not a lot of flexibility through the positions and losing some centering through the position changes
  • Solid double flip
  • Spread eagle into a double axel--not enough speed going in, bobbles the landing and can't hold on to it and falls
  • Decent spirals in her choreographic sequence 
  • Double lutz + double loop--supposed to be a 3 jump combo but can't get last jump off
  • Not a lot of speed through these transitions and it looks like she's marking the choreography
  • Double loop + double loop + double loop
  • Struggles in her spin and seems to have to abort some of the positions
  • Double flip
  • Double loop
  • Ok layback into an ok Biellman
  • Seemed to finish several seconds behind her music
Georgia Glastris, GRE: 25.24 TES + 32.79 PCS = 58.03  Total: 89.58 and into 2nd place
  • Big telegraphing into the double axel and messy landing
  • Triple salchow + double toe--she has nice toe point in her jumps
  • Double flip + double toe--turned out and didn't get off what looked to be her 3rd jump
  • No speed at the end of her combination spin 
  • Double lutz step out
  • Double salchow
  • Decent layback spin but she could work on her arm position into a nice Biellman
  • Double salchow
  • Double flip
  • Nice flexibility through the spiral positions in the choreographic step sequence but a little tight on the center leap
  • Decent camel position but she could use more stretch through her sits, ending with a nice upright spin

  • Opened with her sit spin with a flying change of foot
  • Double axel with a big ice spray on the take off but nicely landed
  • Triple salchow feet get tied up under her and a fall
  • Double loop
  • No arch on the layback and losing speed through the haircutter
  • Bobbles on one of the turns in the step sequence and has to put her free leg down; I'd like to see more stretch through her free let through all these sequences to get a better line
  • Double loop + double loop
  • Double axel hand down and then fall
  • Double flip
  • She seems to be skating hunched over a lot of the time and I think that's hurting her in the jumps
  • Double lutz
  • Needs more elevation in the free leg in the camel and more stretch through all of these positions and more speed

  • Two footed landing on the triple flip

  • Double axel + double toe
  • Spiral into a double axel, a little back on the landing but hangs on
