Much better than the short. I was impressed with Rochette, who fought through her program and landed everything. Looks like she may be peaking towards the Olympics this year as opposed to last when she hit her peak at nationals. I liked this program better than when I first saw it.
Nice battle between Mira Leung and Lesley Hawker. In other years either one of these performances probably would have won a national title - just shows how far Canadian ladies has come. I have to say, I was impressed with Leung and how much her new program has done for her. By far the best she has ever had. Still a few things she needs to work on, most notably for me, she has to be the only skater on the face of the planet who I want to tell to keep her chin DOWN. And a professional haircut would do wonders....those bangs....shudder. Very good choice to switch Free programs. Whoever choreographed it for her finally managed to find a style that suits her rather than just bland lyrical crap that did nothing but show off her weaknesses as a skater rather than highlighting her strengths.
Hawker looked absolutely joyous, but she was not as strong as Leung on a number of elements.
Ouch for a couple of skaters like Duhamel who crumbled painfully.
Was very impressed with Tanika Gibbons. If this is how well she does when she can only practice one hour per day, I look forward to see what she can do when she gets a bit better. She has a lovely quality on the ice.
