Didn't know Vanessa Gusmeroli was a Technical Specialist.. good for her.

Oh wow, Alissa & Miki both look so stunning & gorgeous in pure porcelain white dresses!

Alissa's wearing white peal stud earrings to match, very elegant, and her white dress has a lavendar stripe across the right side of her chest, whereas Miki's is like something out of R&J.

Brief glimpse of Rachael in what looks like turquoise blue!

Warmup over, HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rachael did good, but had problems on the 3F, only completed 2.5 rotations & stumbled coming out of it, otherwise her 3L/2T was fine, seems jetlagged, hopefully will do better in the LP!

Score = 45.19 :(

she needs a coaching change...badly

**Nadine** · 12-10-2010, 06:46 AM

Not really paying attention, still stuck on Rachael's SP. I'm glad she made it to the GPF, but Nationals is way more important, too bad about the bad start though, kind of a downer. But then again IIRC she also had problems at Skate America in the SP, but came roaring back in the LP with 7 triples to boot & a SO!

Okay, back to the competition, Suzuki looks like she completed all her jumps and got a huge applause from the audience.

I think most of Tom Z's students could benefit from a coaching change....

Yay Akiko -

I still think Rachael's right foot is giving her problems, after all it's only been less than a month since SA, and also she was having pain even before that. Maybe she should've just skipped the GPF? And rested her foot more, her focus should be on Nationals more imho.

Suzuki gets a score of 58.25 (new personal best)!
