Czisny was exquisite. I don't care about the 2A popped, besides that she was controlled and beautiful. Valse Triste is the perfect music for her to showcase her skills, one of my favorite songs.

Wow 121. The judges have spoken. Alissa, you don't need a 3-3.
ETA: Or, if you do the 3-3 You'll be closer to 130. :P
I dont understand technically why the circle with Alisa's arms when she sets up for jumps, but I dont skate so...It is just so distracting from the flow of the program, it is like a warm up.
But for all the transitions talks, this program doesnt have one.
Czisny
121.90, new SB, total 179.15, new SB and into 1st
Will this be enough for gold?
Exactly. And the judges are taking note to some degree. Her PCS were all in the 7's and 8's with the exception of the transition mark, which was 6.96 (still too high IMO).Originally Posted by seniorita

Maybe lower 6's...but I don't see it dropping to 5, I don't think it was totally transitionless--especially when you compare it with the lower ranked skaters.
Carolina Kostner (ITA)
Music: Concerto No. 23 in A major for Piano and Orchestra by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
3Lo - very nice!
2F - stepout
ChSp
2A
FCSp - a bit wobbly
2A+2T
3T+2T+2T
3S - nice
3S+2T
SlSt
FCCoSp
CCoSp
Except for the botched 3F attempt, at very nice performance...
Well it looks like Carolina did enough to win; just reflecting how ageless she is, still looks like she did when she first hit the senior scene years ago. Young colt, looong legs and limbs that go on forever and make her stand out like a regal queen (similar to Cynthia Phaneuf imho).
Without Yuna & Miki, I think the top ladies know they don't need 3/3s in order to win. Ah well, this is why I prefer mens instead.
Not sure why Alissa got an SB with the popped axel... but she excelled even herself in the Biellmann. Take note, French ladies!!!
I hope Carolina did enough to win. Not too sure about that though.
Truly embarassing technical content. 3s, 3t, 3lo, that's it.
Alissa's jumps were definitely better today than at SA.
Wow that was close. Carolina wins it by a hair...
Kostner
Score: 119.62, total 179.32 and into 1 by the tiniest margin. Reverse Skate Ameria!
Now the seasoned princesses have to contend with the young Queen Tut.
Nice work Liza. Was that 7 triples I saw?
Um, I forgot about a certain little cool customer. Looks like Queen Tut has done it again. She's simply unflappable.
ETA: Someday we must see her and Johnny Weir skate together.
