Lovely dress.

Solid Triple-Triple. Nice Double Axel. Nice Triple Lutz. Nice Double Axel. Nice spin. Solid three-jump combo. Short on the Triple-Double combo. Short on the Triple Loop. Nice choreo sequence. Not a lot of speed in this spin. Nice step sequence. Nice spin.

Lovely program from Mia Kalin! A few mistakes, but she's come such a long way since last year. Good for her!

106.36 / 168.43 and into fifth place
