I just saw Dylan Moscovitch with his skates. Might mean he is getting ready to skate with Kirsten Moore-Towers in the team pairs free skate later tonight. Canada has a limited amount of time after the ladies shorts to submit their entries. -

“@Rebecca_Briell : Katelyn Osmond's program had so much character, she was amazing. I can't wait to see her free program”🙌by mikthechickxo via twitter 2/8/2014 4:54:31 PM -
Huge fan of women's figure skating after watching Kaetlyn Osmond of Canada #WinterOlympics #CanadaProudby alexadams_12 via twitter 2/8/2014 4:56:01 PM -
Yay Kaetlyn Osmond! You did us proud! So happy #Sochi2014by Crystal Burt via twitter 2/8/2014 4:56:41 PM -
Solid skate by Mae Berenice Meite of France, she sits in second behind Kaetlyn Osmond with four skaters left. -
Figure skating is so graceful to watch 👏by ItzAllisonBetch via twitter 2/8/2014 5:05:24 PM -
That's it from the USA's Ashley Wagner, and the crowd is giving her a decent applause. Maybe because they know who's next...Julia Lipnitskaya of Russia.

And Wagner has bumped Canada's Kaetlyn Osmond to second, with a score of 63.10
-
The chants of "Julia" almost drowned out Ashley's score announcement. So much pressure on Lipnitskaia #Sochi2014by KMe_ki via twitter 2/8/2014 5:09:53 PM -
But now it gets serious. 15-year-old Lipnitskaya out there. And yes, that means she was born a few months after Nagano. So young, but so talented.
-
Yulia lays down a beautiful triple lutz - triple toe.
-
Lipnitskaya is floating. The crowd is roaring. This is great so far.

HOLY COW. Julia Lipnitskaya just set the bar so much higher.by awolice via twitter 2/8/2014 5:15:10 PM -
What a little phenom!! At just 15 she has grace and talent “@USFigureSkating : Lipnitskaya of Russia is on the ice, huge roar as expected.”by Helena Oka-loca via twitter 2/8/2014 5:15:39 PM -
Lipnitskaya. Just phenomenal!by Jkerrbear via twitter 2/8/2014 5:16:11 PM -
72.90 for Lipnitskaya, that will move her into first place. This is a blow to Canada's gold medal hopes. She's now secured at least 2 pts difference over Canada.
-
Next is Japan's Mao Asada. Silver medallist from Vancouver 2010.
-
-
Asado finishes, she's disappointed. But bows graciously. This score will be interesting, surely not as good as Lipnitskaya.
-
Mao Asada falls wonder where she places, Kaetlyn flawless performance?by almajwilson70 via twitter 2/8/2014 5:21:44 PM -
It's been a long time since I've seen Mao Asada skate. Gorgeous skater. Pity she fell on her first jumping pass #Sochi2014 #Olympics2014by Shannon Wong via twitter 2/8/2014 5:21:51 PM -
Just an update: Canada's Osmond 3rd, USA's Wagner 2nd, Russia's Lipnitskaya 1st
-
Mao Asado scores 64.07, moves into second. Pushes Kaetlyn Osmond down to 4th.

#Sochi2014 : #FigureSkating : Team Ladies' Short Program: Mao ASADA (JPN) with a score of 64.07 that sends her 2nd. Graceful.by Sochi 2014 Updates via twitter 2/8/2014 5:23:31 PM -
One more skater to go, and, it's her birthday. 27-year-old Carolina Kostner is up.
-
2012 World Champion, Carolina Kostner is on the ice.
-
-
-
That means Canada's Kaetlyn Osmond is 5th in the ladies team event. And Canada unofficially drops to second with 32 pts, Russia first with 37. Lipnitskaya was huge tonight.
-
That's all for now. Time to take a break. The Team Pairs Free Skating begins at 1:05 pm ET / 10:05 am PT. See you then! I'm going to get some dinner. I'll see what I can find in the Iceberg.
-
Forgot to mention, Canada will name their pairs team VERY SOON. Stay on @CDNOlympicTeam or here for the announcement.
-
And it's Kirsten Moore-Towers and Dylan Moscovitch to skate the team pairs free skate. Ok, now I'm seriously going to get a sandwich. See you in about half an hour.
