What a competition last night!
Yu-Na: Flawless performance and truly a worthy gold medalist! Clean as a whistle, she was. I'm also happy for Brian Orser that he has had this major success in the post-competitive phase of his life.
Mao: I am sooooo impressed with this girl! While she may have won silver last night, she made history (dang, 2 3A's?!). I hope after the initial shock, she looks back fondly at this night and sees how she kicked it out of the ballpark with her strong, gutsy performance. She didn't back down once and there was so much fight in her. I actually love her Bells of Moscow program--it's dark and dramatic and different from the typically perky stuff we normally see. And I think Mao's positions on many elements far surpassed Yu-Na's. Her spirals are crisp and neatly finished as are her spins. She was so interesting to watch last night and despite the mistakes, my favorite performance.
Joannie: I don't know how on earth she did it, but wow! I'm so impressed with her strength and courage.
Mirai: My hometown hero! We're so immensely proud of her! Her program was delicious (esp those spins and spirals).
Miki: Totally ran out of gas, but hey, it was quite an improvement from Torino.
Rachel: Solid performance and just such a well balanced skater. Maybe a few tweaks here and there (posture, my dear, posture!)
Mad at NBC for not showing Laura Lepisto, the Russian ladies (cold war much?) or Carolina Kostner :disapp: and mad at Scott Hamilton for his "Brian finally getting his gold" comment :sheesh:,
