Amanda Gelb: 23.03 TES + 20.62 PCS = 43.65
- Her dress is just stunning with all the crystal work and the grape color looks great on her
- Double toe + double toe
- She's a really nice, fluid expressive skater but she seemed a bit gun shy on the first jump
- Nice double flip with a one arm variation
- Spiral into a good double axel
- Nice donut position with good transition into the catchfoot camel spin
- Really nice layback with good speed and picking up speed through the haircutter and into the Biellman
- Good one foot section in the step sequence with good edges
- Nice positions and speed in her combo spin
- Really lovely program except for that opening jump error
- Nice layback spin but losing a little speed and needs a little more stretch through the Biellman
- Triple lutz really far forward on the toe pick on the landing but she hangs on and tacks on a double toe
- She could have more stretch through her catchfoot camel position
- I like the mature look of her program this season and I think it really sets her apart from the rest of the ladies
- Fall on the triple flip
- Nice facial expression in the step sequence, good movement, but a lot of ice spray on the edge changes; she seems to be running out of a bit of steam at the end of the steps
- Spread eagle into a nice double axel
- Good sit position in her final combination spin but finished just a hair behind her music
- Nice opening triple lutz + double loop
- Good triple flip
- Really nice camel position into a good catch foot with an interesting transition into a donut but she loses speed toward the end
- Spread eagle into a nice double axel
- Good sit position into a nice catch foot and a great sit variation on the opposite leg
- Nice freedom to her step sequence and good ice coverage but there are still a few places where she could take a moment and finish off movements
- Nice layback spin
- Really solid program from her and she'll be happy with that performance
- Solid opening triple flip
- Popped open her lutz and didn't complete a combo so she will get a penalty
- Spread eagle into a double axel but forward on the landing
- Good speed in her camel spin and good increase in speed through the donut and catch foot variations
- Beautiful Ina Bauer
- Great speed in her layback into a haircutter
- Nice quality of movement and choreography in her step sequence
- She seemed a bit choppy in places but an injury kept her from training until September and this was still a good program for her minus the combination jump
- Huge triple loop but she falls and will lose points for not completing a combination
- Double flip with a single arm variation and a gorgeous arabesque landing
- Good speed on her camel spin with nice variations
- Spread eagle into a nice double axel
- She is a lovely skater to watch with great lines and she really finished off all the movements
- Nice layback into a haircutter
- Good push through her step sequence and nice variety of content but she could really perform it more and play up the spanish tango theme
- She could use more flexibility through her upright catchfoot position in the combination spin
- Triple toe + double toe with slight hesitation in between
- Triple flip slightly off in the air but she hangs on to it
- Good fast rotating camel spin
- Good double axel
- Nice haircutter spin but she needs a lot more stretch in her Biellman and really lost speed
- She seems be really on top of her edges in the step sequence and she could get more power by using the edges to get her across the ice
- Good final sit spin with maintained speed throughout
Group 2
Katia Shpilband: 26.06 TES + 19.98 PCS = 46.05 and into 3rd place
- Good triple lutz + double toe but not a lot of ride out
- Nice triple flip
- She has interesting jump technique and leans really far forward on her jump take off
- Good haircutter but losing a lot of speed in her Bielleman and she needs more stretch
- Good double axel
- A little wild on the flying entry to her camel spin but she regains her centering; really losing speed by the end
- I'd like to see her performance level stay up through the whole program and not just in the in between moments
- Food final combination spin but a few of the positions could use a bit more flexibility
- Triple flip a little scratchy but she hangs on
- Triple lutz really wonky but she manages to add a single toe
- Good speed and interesting positions in her combination spin but I feel like she's not really connected to the program and this would be so easy to sell
- Double axel a bit off in the air but she lands it nicely
- Hand down on the step sequence, hard to tell if it was a fall or choreographed but she's giving more performance here
- She needs a lot more stretch through her catchfoot camel spin but a good donut position
- Ok layback position but really good speed in the haircutter and an excellent Biellman
- Triple loop + double toe--she has some interesting jump technique that's really going to hurt her especially on the takeoff with her free leg
- She's really selling this program and is clearly having a ball on the ice
- Double flip with both arms overhead
- Flying camel with a good donut variation but losing all centering and speed through the catchfoot
- A bit of a bobble in one of her turns in the step sequence
- Really open air position in the single axel
- Nice layback spin pulling right up into a Biellman but losing speed
- Triple lutz + double toe with super fast rotation and good height on the first jump
- Really nice triple flip
- Good positions in her combo spin and she looks like she's having the time of her life on the ice today
- Really good axel
- Nice donut position but losing her centering and speed inot the catchfoot
- Gorgeous arms in her step sequence and nice quality of movement with ease around the edges
- The one thing I would fix about this program are the arms in her layback but otherwise she completely nailed it!
- Good speed and positions in her camel spin with a good donut position and catchfoot
- Difficult one foot turns into a double axel
- Nice position in speed in the upright catchfoot position
- Triple lutz + triple loop a little underrotated and two footed on the second jump
- Triple flip a little tight with a turnout and a stepout but doing both of those elements in the bonus should give her a few extra points to make up for those mistakes
- Great layback position into a gorgeous Biellman that spins at superhuman speed
- Triple lutz + triple toe nicely done
- Solid triple flip
- Nice camel position and picking up speed through the donut and catchfoot variations
- Difficult one footed entry into her double axel
- Losing speed a bit through the change of foot on her combination spin
- She could clean up the exits on some of these spins and add a few finishing details so there's still lots of room for her to grow in these programs
- Nice energy in the step sequence
- Good lay back into a nice Biellman with great speed
