I guess no lutz or flip. I hope that doesn't cost her. I kind of like her skating and I'm not into Amelie's skating at all but Amelie may deserve it this year depending.

Yuka happens to be one of my favorites, both as a skater and as a coach.

It's fun researching the veteran skaters. You'll find some who really amaze you. We're so lucky nowadays: YouTube is like a time machine. We can even see skaters from the sixties and earlier. Some of the earlier skaters make you realize how far the sport has progressed. But others are awesome to watch even today. Have you ever seen John Curry's 1976 Olympic long program, for example, or the early achievements of Gordeyeva and Grinkov? A vast treasure house of skating enjoyment awaits you!

Haha I'll definitely look into those suggestions! :)

^ Falls can be better than pops because you get partial credit, sometimes quite a lot of it! A pop is wasted space.

Ok, so here's a question I have as a relatively uninformed fan. Is it worse to fall on a jump, or to pop it? I thought it might be worse to fall since you can redo a popped jump, right? But then you have to fit it into your program somewhere which can be very stressful. Or am I wrong and you can't do that? Or is the points you lose by popping worse than falling. Help!

Falls are severely penalized but on a fully rotated high value jump, there may be enough points left to be worth it than a popped jump with practically no Base Value. Falling on a low value jump will likely wipe out all points, plus hurting PCS.

Hmm, LaCoste gave it away. I have no idea why she keeps trying to do the Triple Flip.

Do the relative values of falls and pops fluctuate each season as the rules are changed? It must be so frustrating for coaches and skaters to have to learn new rules every year.

and doubled and fell on another jump.

This is going down to PCS. I see it going to Phaneuf; she sold it for me, and not only because I prefer her.

Darn, my computer conked out on me AGAIN! Made it just in time to see Lacoste fall on a jump & pop another...

This will be interesting, what will the judges do! :think: :think: :think:

I VOTE FOR CYNTHIA ON THE BASIS OF HER PERFECT TECHNIQUE & HUGE JUMPS (no falls)! :thumbsup:
