Really? I thought she did.

Ah..... that must be it. I thought the score was way too low. *sigh*

:chorus::chorus: That's funny!! But also true. I hope Czisny doesn't bomb... she's just too precious to see saddened.

The transition scores are really low for the ladies so far!!!

**R.D.** · 11-21-2009, 07:48 PM

A little stumble from Rochette in the warmup...

**R.D.** · 11-21-2009, 07:48 PM

...and a singled jump from Lepisto.

I wouldn't call Sarah Hecken's skate bad. It wasn't phenomenal, and lacked the harder jumps. But for a skater just out of juniors, with a nice 3-3, I wouldn't qualify her as 'bad'.

Caroline scored higher as a junior. Except for "skating skills" her scores are mediocre for a junior. So sad.

she saves the "performing" for her exhibition skate

I think Lacoste is going to pass by Suzuki... not a bad skate from her.

**sequinsgalore** · 11-21-2009, 07:54 PM

She's developing into a beautiful woman. It's time she starts to skate like one. And smiling and getting some speed wouldn't kill.

That require Caroline to go back and work on her basics. Speed can be partially developed with conditioning but most of it should be coming from your basics. However, to work on her basics, it almost guarantees that Caroline will lost her jumps.

Say what you want about Carolina Kostner but the source of her speed is from her incredible basics.

She looked so devastated, and she gave up. Her programs have always been so beautiful and full of charisma...*sad* And the new dress looks too much like a few of her exhibition dresses...
