I'm thrilled for Caro, who has had such an awful year coming in and had been written off by just about everyone. She obviously wasn't perfect today, but the important thing for her is that she never gave up on the performance, and I hope that will give her the confidence she needs for the Olympics. I still think she can contend for a medal. This win obviously meant a lot to her and her interview afterward was wonderful. 
Elene - I'm not sure any bronze medalist this year, at any event, could have been happier! Good for her. Looking at the other bronze medalists at Euros, we have two 2009 champions (Joubert and K/N) the 2009 bronze medalists (M/T), and the girl who couldn't even make it into the LP last year - and that with a large field, not the new version. Yes, the standard isn't too high for Euro ladies, but still - what a great comeback.
Someone asked about the gala - it's tomorrow afternoon.

about the loop...she was used to take it from a sequence of 3step (don't know the exact name in english, sorry) and now she has completely change this entrance...
about PCS, !, and levels: she's stronger than all these trick!!!
BTW, hope the Olys will be judged better

I hope to be able to see the Gala tomorrow. I enjoyed the Euro Ladies and despite a few falls I thought the skating was enjoyable.
It was great to see Caro skating so well and then fighting for that program. I was disappointed that Laura didn't skate better - but still find her such a pleasure to watch and think she moves across the ice with so much grace.
I wish them all good luck in Vancouver.
Hauteor, don't let your politic opinions spill on Elene. For me Elene is a joy to watch. She has had problems, not welcome to train in Russia, right? I am glad she has found her place in Hackensack with R Wagner, who actually was in Tallin. (Doesn't she have US ladies to company in Spokane, like many other US coaches that didn't go to Tallin?) Elene looked very happy and sweet in k&c

And so was I, I liked her attack and fierceness and she had she highest TES, so it's not that she was hugely gifted into the bronze spot. If anything it was too close between her and Kira. I loved her ending pose.
You know what, Janetfan, we are on a roll of agreeing, let's keep it up
Add me to the chorus. I thought Elene should have had the silver also.

Give Jenny the credit for agreeing with me twice last week.
All this talk about Euro Ladies missing a few jumps is OK but - hello, did anyone watch the guys? It's not like they were all perfect
ETA: tonight will be USA Ladies and I expect more than a fair share of splats

There must be some rift in the time/space continuum
I'm actually more satiesfied with the Euro Ladies than with the Men.
Please beam me up K - this board is getting much too calm!

the question is why they changed it??? it seemed to work for her out of the turns.. and now she also telegraphs the loop which she didn't do before...

And impressive that they did 3-3s. At first when I watched Carolina's SP, t thought, wow, that was awesome but is it any better than Mirai's SP? Then I got to musing about Mirai's medaling chances and wondering whether, if she makes it the Olympics she could be as much a medal threat as Caro. But Caro's 3-3 does give her an edge. I wish more of the U.S. women did 3-3s.
What do you mean nothing more?
She is dazzling and so graceful.
Even her falls are good
She is gracefull skater and her persentation is very good. But this is ladies competition not dance competition. Jumps should be there as well.

I don't expect that to last very long. Wait until tonight if Sasha's flaws get overlooked again and if her scores are inflated again like in the SP and she ends up bumping off Mirai, Rachael, or Ashley for the top 2.

Sorry, you are on an important away mission and have to remain where you are.
Don't let anyone know that you are from the future trying to rectify what cop did to skating.
It's true , but I am on an important quest seeking to find the most perfect peanut butter in the galaxy.
But before I forget, congratulations to Frank Carroll for his skater winning the EURO championship
I am sure Jenny and Buttercup will raise a glass of wine and toast Carroll's latest success.
Well,the final results are with very good surprise-)
Thanks all ladies for nice performances!

And I partially agree with hauteor. It was a very strange competition, it was hard to award medals, except of gold. I did not enjoy Elene's program much, she was not very graceful, but fierce. I would have Meier 2nd (considering that she was robbed in SP) and Elene 3rd, Korpi and Lepisto 4th. It is almost ridiculous that Sarah gets dumped into 6th place in PCS..
I think Robin Wagner was suspended by USFSA, therefore she cannot have any US students.Hauteor, don't let your politic opinions spill on Elene. For me Elene is a joy to watch.

Maybe I am biased, being a Finn and all, but I don't think Elene was robbed. After all, she did win Laura on today's marks but Laura's spins and spirals were of high quality, as well as steps. And her edges and performance were very good. If you compare these two skaters' jumps the difference wasn't that huge after all. I think Laura does deserve her high second mark and when comparing Laura's and Carolina's transitions, Laura's were more varied.
Also, I think people should stop blaming the judges for absolutely everything. Like, why WOULD they give any gifts to Finns (as the case seems to be here)? It makes no sense as the judges weren't from Finland and I bet they have more knowledge than any of us on this forum...
But it's such a shame Laura didn't deliver her jumps. She is capable of doing them, you could just see her getting so cautious with them after the good beginning. Oh dear.
Anyway, LOVED to see Kostner skating well and Elene on third!
