Gracie Gold 60+!!!!
WOW
And unless Risa scores higher, it's going to be No. 2 on the season's best list: http://www.isuresults.com/isujsstat/sb2011-12/sbtslsp.htm

Julia's SP

Gracie should lead by a wide margin. Her skating seems more polished and mature compare to Julia's. Oh well, different event, different score.
Also you have to take account that Julia's SP score is for her second event, so she she had momentum as far as scoring goes. 60.18 is amazing considering that the Int'l judges aren't familiar with her.
Not to take anything from Gracie,who was quite brilliant tonight, but I am tired to see Risa underscored in PCS. Out of all the juniors I've seen this season she is by far the most overall developed skater and this should be reflected in her PCS. Gravie Gold, as brilliant as she was and even though deserved to win the SP, did not deserve bigger PCS than Risa(the same goes for Courtney Hicks who also beat Risa on PCS this season).
I felt the judges were a bit harsh with Nishino this evening. I love her skating and her program and felt the << on her second 3T was unfair.
My heart goes to Samantha who skated again very well but might end up with 2 bronzes and out of the final because of her incredible hard assignments.
