Anne-Line looks terrified of her jumps, she crawls into them. her doubles are as high as her triples. :eek: I like her style but here she just looked scared.

Going out to get something to eat now, will come back for the final group. This is so heart breaking, just like yesterday. How can we survive I don't know. Haven't eaten anything today. :bang:

Had to fight a bit for it. Her jumps are very small and she has to muscle them out, so not great.

Doesn't help that her knees are stiff on the landings and she doesn't really check the landings....

If I were Popova's coach I'd chase after her with a hockey stick during her run-throughs, she has a lot of potential but she's sooooo slooooow. Her jumps are nice when they work and her spins are great even without the speed and power going into them.

I always feel despair for skaters like Popova,

Who because they don't represent Russia will never get to thrive with the best training and Politics :\

But then again, Lots of Russians will never go International ...

Can't stop laughing. I do that when I work with hockey players. It works. I've never dared take my hockey stick onto Freestyle time:think:

you posted that before I saw it happen. I may have to ignore you. Sorry

Sorry! I'm watching on the bigsports eurosport stream and compared with the posts from when Gjersem was skating I thought my stream was actually lagging by a bit..

It is funny, while BBC is about 2 min later than Japanese Feeding, Fuji on You-tube, CBC is few second earlier than Fuji.

Well I certainly am not trying to discourage anyone from posting. I'll be in drone mode when that final group comes on anyway.

Doesn't everyone? I like to think of the Korean Olympic team as an Asian "Destiny's Child" Yu-Na was Beyoncé (obviously), Park was Kelly and Hae-Jin.....was Michelle.

And where does Kwak Min-Jeong fit in? Is she LaTavia or LeToya?

Once more thumbs up to the audience. I actually believe the kind reaction motivates the skaters to do better than they would've done without them.

Something about Kim always seems messy to me, doesn't help that all her jumps are very questionable in rotation and she stalks her jumps so much I wouldn't be surprised if they had a restraining order.
