OK, Alissa Czisny can pack her bag for Vancouver, with a brief stopover in Spokane. 
I just saw her do her final pre-Nationals performance at the Detroit Skating Club send-off event. She did her complete long program (Dr. Zhivago, purple dress).
She hit 3Lz+2T+2Lo (+1 GOE),
3F (0 GOE -- landing maybe not quite as secure as her other jumps),
I couldn't quite see the next jump, probably a triple loop, no problem that I could tell,
2A (excellent, +1 GOE, but no sequence)
3Lz (step out of landing, possibly underrotated)
3T+2T, good
I couldn't tell what the last triple was, maybe another loop, looked good to me.
Spiral sequence and spins outstanding, best-in-the-world class. Excellent speed, fine interpretation and choreography. Secure landings on all her jumps but one. with superior flow-out. I scored it at 135.39.
There is something about the cut of the music that isn't quite right, in my humble opinion. The timing of the first spiral to the first occurance of the main theme ("Somewhere My Love") isn't quite spot on, to me (she should turn into it on "somewhere" and open up fully on "my love," or something like that ), and then the theme disappears too abruptly.
Overall, a super perfrormance. It should be a big confidence booster going into Nationals. :yes:
Jeremy Abbott, Davis and White, and a slew of other Spokane-bound skaters also performed. I will give a complete report in Sylvia's "Send-off" thread in the Announcements folder.
