Hi, Runawaybunny, I'm glad you decided to post. Welcome aboard.
Rgirl, that was so interesting about managing one's energy level to hit the jumps just at the right peak. At the International Figure Skating Challenge Michelle said that after she hit her first jump she was so high on adrenalin that she couldn't come down in time to get herself together for the second jump, and so she missed her intended 3L/2T.
About the altitude factor, at the end of their programs the first three men's skaters were sucking major wind, looking like they were about to pass out. Now Plushenko's comment makes more sense -- he said he lost mainly because he didn't do his intended triple Salchow at the end, he was just too tired to do it.
Isn't it a shame that in this supposedly prestigious event they couldn't find six men who were willing to skate?
