Competitors :
Vanessa Gusméroli  FRA
Laetitia Hubert FRA
Elina Kettunen FIN
Caroline Gülke GER
Miki Ando JPN
Elena Sokolova RUS
Amber Corwin USA
Galyna Maniachenko UKR

and from the qualification round :
Anne-Sophie Pichon FRA
Sophie Favrichon FRA

Miki Ando probably made the trip to France as we saw a young japanese girl near the rink (looking like just leaving the rink), but then she should have withdrawn, as there were only 9 ladies competing.
 

Costumes :
Elena was in black with a grey shining top. Vanessa was wearing a very nice black dress that suited her very well, same style as her dark blue dress. Laetitia was wearing a green dress from a short program (?). Elina Kettunen had a blue top and a white dress, Amber Corwin was all in red. Galyna Maniachenko wore the costume for her long program on "Schindler 's list", the light blue dress with the long sleeves. Anne-Sophie Pichon had a black dress, like Caroline Gülke, while Sophie Favrichon was in white.

Judges :
GER, FRA, GBR, USA, RUS, FRA, FIN

Comments on comments :
Numbers between parenthesis are the judge marks, (3--3) means they all gave 3.
After each round intermediate results were given, which you can guess as the starting order of round x follows the inverse rankings after round x-1 (last one starts).

Best triple Salchow : Laetitia Hubert, Galyna Maniachenko

Out : Elina Kettunen, Sophie Favrichon.

 It was quite tense to see Vanessa failing her first attempt, as the triple Salchow is not at all her favourite jump ! But she made it on the second try  (she even made a cross sign afterwards ;-))
 The triple Salchow is definitely a jump for Laetitia !
 Quite sad to see Elina being disqualified so early, her triple Lutz-double Toe is great (as her 3Lz-2Lp, and maybe her 3Lz-3Lp (??))
We could see here the stressfull point of this format : two consecutive errors and you're out !

Best triple-double combination : Elena Sokolova

Out : Anne-Sophie Pichon

Good second try for Vanessa, who could have downgraded her combination to an easier 3T-2T, but kept the 3Lz-2T.
Guts for Galyna too who also went for the difficult 3Lz-2T !

Best triple loop : Laetitia Hubert

Maybe just a bad day for Vanessa, the triple loop is usually one of her best jump..

Galyna was quite strong in practice on the 3Lz and 3Lz-2T... A main contender out !

Best jump : Elena Sokolova

Out : Caroline Gülke, Laetitia Hubert

Quite interesting here...Caroline received some points for a triple-double !! I guess some judges didn't get it was meant to be a triple-triple.
Laetitia was quite close of landing the triple-triple on the first attempt (the 3Lz was almost there, and when the first jump is on...).
Elena had maybe a slightly touched landing on the 3Lz... but she was far from the judges ;-). She did quite a lot of 3Lz-3T in practice though. Can't figure out how some judges can mark the jump as failed when others mark it as successfull ??







Round 7 : triple Axel



Well, Elena alone to try the triple Axel...
She indeed showed up for the first try, which she popped (single Axel), and she preferred to stop aferwards...
