Good Luck to all the Competitors. I do not wish to be spoiled, so this will be my only comment in this thread. You'll see me here again after the broadcast on the East Coast.

Simon: "Welcome to the Palavela. History may be made here tonight if Irina Slutskaya wins gold, to make a sweep of all four golds for Russia. We start with one of those Russian winners, Pluschenko."

[Plush interview...I can't understand him...something about cars...he would like to skate some more, maybe will go to Worlds...'Why not?' to next Olys - 'Ill be only 27 & do 4-4 combos."]

Plush also talked about his tradition of kissing the ice after every major skate when he achieves something extra-special.

Final group will begin 10:05 pm Torino time....4:05 pm eastern US...for those who want to bug-off 'til then.

Here's Sylvia Fontana, Italy #2
Vanessa Mae Turandot


2 flip...same error as in SP

3toe-2toe clean!

3 sal

"Well done, Sylvia! A very emotional woman...last competitive perf of her career, surely. Big applause."

Funny quip from Chris: "Coach Robin Wagner -- from the right side of the tracks -- absolutely thrilled w/ her."

"Sylvia was 10th in Salt Lake. Hard to come back. Happier than on Tuesday."

into 1st, of course:
receives 35.67 technical points, 42.23 components, and 77.90 points on her free programme.

Heres hoping that Sasha will have a great clean skate and let her artistry shine.
If Irina has a clean skate and throws a couple 3/3's in there I will be happy for her win. If we see the good ole Shizuka from a couple years ago and she wins I will be thrilled for her as well. Finally, I hope Kimmie goes out there and shows the international judges she is something they need to take notice of for the future of ladies FS...

Please let Sasha hit the jumps. I am so nervous. My mom told me maybe you can ask if you can jump for her. :rofl:

Viktoria Pavuk (Hung)
The Moldau pop version

3 lutz-2 toe

3 loop

3 flip problem

3 lutz becomes double

3 sal

"starting to fall away, this performance...errors galore....."

scores:

below Fontana...no scores yet...but have this from Eurosport text:

Pavuk gets 26.58 points technical, 37.87 components for a total of 73.45 points in the free, and a two-day total of 119.85, which has her behind Fontana, and rightfully so.
