Amelie's victories might not have been convincing, but Phaneuf's losses certainly were. This isn't about personal opinion. I really don't care about either, frankly, though I think Phaneuf's the stronger skater. This is about basic fairness.

probably because of her jump layout, the same jump one after the otherOriginally Posted by skateflower
Oh no it is. You only have to look at past events held there to know. Plus there's also some sort of ventilation problems it seems.
Amelie had her chance here at 4CC to show SC that she was definitively the one that they should send. She failed. It was a tie. Completely blew it.
Her skate was tentative, she did *not* skate like a champion, she didn't go out there and shut the critics up, she opened the door to even more criticism.
IT WAS NOT A DECISIVE VICTORY BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION. Case closed.
Mao's new LP dress looks GORGEOUS.
Min Jung kinda reminds me of Sohee from the Wondergirls. At least none of the ladies needed the oxygen tank yet...

Nadine, you're being ridiculously obtuse.
Oh, I think I shall reopen that case. Phaneuf didn't skate like a champion. She didn't shut the critics up. She opened the door to even more criticism.
Also, Amelie beat her. Again.
MUST they play "Sexy and I Know It" during the warm-up?
Go, Agnes!!! Caroline! Ashley! Kanako! and Mao!
I think I will always be on Min-Jeong's side because of her joyful performance at the 2010 Olympics, even though I can hardly recognize her now.
Love her costume, apart from the oven mitts (thanks to skfan for pointing those out to me).
I really loved the former one, but this one is also gorgeous!
I guess I just see it differently. For me, it doesn't matter if the victory was "decisive" or not. A victory is a victory and for me that's the fairest way to judge skaters.Amelie had her chance here at 4CC to show SC that she was definitively the one that they should send. She failed.

On a different note, FINAL GROUP! I'm rooting for ALL of them to skate well!
They're going to send Amelie. End discussion.
I prefer Cynthia and thinks she was possibly underscored here. But Amelie is ahead and that's all that matters.
I thought Zhang won in 2007?
Yep, announcer lady got it wrong.
