Ok, started to rain havily here. It's a matter of time until the 120 km/h extre-tropical cyclone/small tornado wind hits again... fingers crossed for my internet connection

[R.D.]

Ouch for the British girl.

[hikki]

1axel/ 3toe... I wonder she'll get URed? But she went for it!

[ImaginaryPogue]

Not Akiko's night.

Jenna's disappointed reaction triggered a question. Has there ever been a skater who just didn't take a bow? She obviously did, but I'm just wondering.

Did Fusar-Poli / Margaglio (sp?) take their bows after the infamous death-stare at the Olympics OD??

[R.D.]

and Suzuki takes a near-spill.

[hikki]

Not doing well :(

[Scout]

poor akiko...a few mistakes already. this opens the door for the third japanese spot at the olympics.

she is so lovely to watch though

[Phoenix347]

Akiko is having a rather bad program... I don't think she's going to make it ... that could mean two American ladies in the GPF.

[R.D.]

Are her chances of making the GPF over? We'll see.

[Kissx3]

Oh no Akiko! I was hoping for better.

Akiko

But that footwork
She looks like she wants to kick herself at the knc

[yelyoh]

Akiko's program a mess this time but it really is a good LP and she skates it so well. One of my favorites this season.

[gourry]

Wow. Akiko missed couple of jumps but I really enjoyed her performance! I really really wish her make top 4 and make it to GPF.... but it seems not very likely. *Sigh*
