... And now it's over. A surprising and interesting finish.

Very close between Onda and Czisny, and even not that much of lead by Cupcake. If Alissa stays on her feet, oooooh, she could be something. Thanks for the link, my patient twin. 
HockeyFan wrote a great post in the "Skaters Psyching Each Other Out Theard" (I think--I may have the thread wrong, but it's in The Edge) how the absence of Michelle and Sasha at these events gives other skaters a chance to be evaluated by the judges relative to each other and not relative to Kwan and Cohen. As HockeyFan said, a couple of good competitions could make the difference between a skater having no chance for a medal and, especially if her point totals are high enough and she's in the final group, a dark horse for a medal. This, of course, is assuming that everyone we expect to be still standing by the Olympics is--and of course I most certainly hope so.
I'll be interested to watch this--two dang weeks from Sunday! Grrrrrr ABC/ESPN!
