Dang if she didn't pull it off. Good for her. It wasn't pretty, but she acquitted herself better than anyone, apparently including her herself, expected, and if she does quit now, she can go out on a very high note. Congrats, Rachael!

I am not a fan of Rachael but she skated good tonight.
so proud of Rachael and delighted to see that she was happy with her performance. I never would have believed she could have done this well with the schedule she keeps.
All the Stanford gear, aww.
112.27 for a total of 164.98 (I think)
Pretty great comeback for her even if it's unlikely she'll medal. Did move up a place to 8th at the absolute lowest though.

I agree, jcoates. And performances like that make me like her even more.
Not a fan of Rachel's skating but I've been feeling for her and I'm happy she skated so well for herself.
Good for her.
Vanessa's gloves look so awkward. It would look so much better if they were the same color, but ended in a flowy sleeve.
score seems a little low, maybe downgrades? Still i'm happy for her that she finally had that good skate and Firebird really is a great program and piece of music.Originally Posted by Chemistry66
it would be better if they didn't exist!
impressed by all of vanessa's difficult entry to almost all her elements
Truth. But if she really wanted to have something on her arm, a flowing sleeve would be a better choice.it would be better if they didn't exist!
I think they probably just dinged her PCS again.
I actually hope she will keep skating now, kind of. I think she does still love it i a real way. However, if she retires it will be on a high note as someone else said- a great performance in the best costume she's ever had
I really like Vanessa's skating too. A shame about the falls.
exactly, i was thinking as you, I don't enjoy her skating at all and generally opera length glove look is better for an ice dance theme skate.
Love Vanessa's game face. She's another wonderful skater. Yeah, yeah, tiny jumps - but so beautiful and tough.
Go, Agnes and Mirai!
