Hi Taskinen,
thanks for the update and I just moved results-related contents from there to here (to keep the other article for announcement of the competition).
Hi kovachik,
thanks, I’ll try to do that.
And here is the FS:

Thank You poggipoggi for the videos!
Thanks poggipoggi, thanks kovachik
If only 2 jumps were succeeded…
Thanks for all for everything; videos and mp3:s! I really like the colour of Kiira’s sp dress. Unfortunately I can’t see the FS dress properly from video. It’s dark and there’s interesting cut on neck. But two weeks and I’ll see IRL
Kiira’s sp was very elegant. Did you notice her fantastic spirals? I think she has improved them a lot. Music was also very good! I wish she had more difficult jumps in her FS, now she has only one lutz but no flip at all. Two salchows and two loops. At the top you should do all the jumps, rather lz and fl many times…
here you can see her the fs dress

Thanks taurhel,
Did you take that photos?
no, i don’t know who is the photographer. maybe the administrator of that site
i mean http://www.fsonline.ru
Thanks for the link, taurhel! I don’t really know what to think of the fs dress. Dark blue is very elegant but zipper in front…? And the hem of the skirt seems to be just black tricot… The back side looked good from the video. Well, let’ see how it looks irl. I prefer the last year skirt.
Well that dress wasn’t very -how would i say- traditional, but i personally like a lot when skaters use something else than those kind of dresses. Of course too much is too much, but i think that Kiira’s dress was not even a close to cross that “limit”
Of course i have to admit, that i’m definitely NOT right person to tell that was it good or bad, i can only tell what my eyes says..
