Well, congrats to Holly Harris for winning the SP at Triglav Trophy in adv novice, and Amelia Jackson for placing 6th after the SP in juniors! Best wishes to both of them this weekend in their LPs!
Sadly, I wasn't able to watch any of the World Championships live - dang time zones! But I recorded it and now I'm home from work I'm watching it.
Maaan, I love watching skating in High-def, it all looks so beautiful. :luv17:
Does anyone know if SBS is going to do this next season? Is there somewhere to email to tell them they totally gotta?
You guys, BRENDAN WAS GREAT! GREAT GREAT GREAT! Okay, so there were a couple of small mistakes. But he didn't go to pieces, kept fighting, and landed everything, with a bare minimum of pops! And now he's up to 210 for a total score! WOO!
The first half of the FS was spectacular. The 4T was even better than at Skate America, the 3A was flawless, the 3F got a bit out of shape but was cleanly landed, the spins and the step sequence were lovely, and he hammered that 3Lz-1Lo-3S for the first time this season. I'd wager the length of his season caught up to him in the middle with the 1A and the 2Lo, but I was super impressed when he threw the second 3A in right as the last jumping pass, and in combination too! Way to go.
You know, I hope he keeps Secrets for next year. It's such a lovely program, it suits him so well, and I think he's well on his way to getting those jumps stabilsed in there. Once that happens they can add in a bit more choreo.
EDIT: Oh lookit, Brendan's FS has made its way to Youtube! I'm still hunting for the SP.
Two new PBs for him (assuming these count, some chat on FSU suggested they should): new high SP score (74) and new high total score (212). He's getting there! I hope he gets a GP!
