I like Rachel but she just has no extension through her movements.

[badknees]

She seems so slow

Angela Wang is just moving on up the ladder. 9th at the lowest now.

[PolymerBob]

Rachael doing well.

[Olympia]

Good for Rachael!

[Kissx3]

Good job, Rachel.

I am so proud of Rachael. She skated the best she possibly could have skated tonight. I'm a little teary-eyed from watching her performance.

[Chemistry66]

Oh, Rachael! She's crying, she's so happy!

[Mao88]

That a girl Rachael!! What a fighter. She should climb the leader board with that

[icellist]

her only mistake was doubling a flip, but her edges are not up to par with some of the other competitors.

Exactly my sentiments. Gosh. I am so happy for her. And, I was so please to see the crowd reaction; how wonderful.

ETA of course, no, her edges weren't up to par nor was her extension. But given all the injury, "scandal" and now school and crazy schedule, this was amazing. And it is so great to see her happy. Nice score for her too.

Agreed. Other than her spins (which I unfortunately found hideous) I really loved watching her and am happy for her. I do think she still loves skating and that's nice to see. Her scores will be interesting.

People may not like Rachel or her skating, but you have to give her credit for pulling herself together enough to do well tonight. Good for her. give all the criticism she's faced, she could have easily bagged it and moved on. If she does leave skating, at least it will be on her terms.

[badknees]

I wish they would stop the comments about school. It is very obvious down through the years that school and competitive skating dont mix. Kwan, czisy, thomas, wylie all couldn't do it until after they stopped school or had graduated. Any other names that I missed that tried to do school and skating at this level?

so happy for Rachael, such a competitor...she has been blessed in life and I will always remember her Oly skates, and the lovely 14 year old who was just adorable, bless her heart!
