LADIES LONG PROGRAM Thread

[Blades of Passion]

must they play "sexy and i know it" during the warm-up?

YES!

I loved Mao's old LP dress, but this one with the Grecian drapery...oh my goodness she looks like some kind of beautiful Asian Aphrodite

Min Jung kinda reminds me of Sohee from the Wondergirls. At least none of the ladies needed the oxygen tank yet...

Yea! If Min Jung had a little more puff in her cheeks they would look so similar!

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.

Nadine, we get it. You prefer Cynthia over Amélie, and that's fine. But your argument goes both ways: if Cynthia is such a better skater, how come she's not beating Amélie by a mile? Sure, you can say Amélie didn't skate like a champion, but neither did Cynthia. And it's not the first time, either. How many chances do you want to give Cynthia before conceding that, this season, Amélie is the better skater in the eyes of multiple judging panels?

Now onto the Americans!

GOOOOOOOOOO CAROLINE (nail the door shut w/your FAB 3R/3R), ASHLEY (ditto, Black Swan!), AND AGNES (ditto, show them your monster jumps and you deserve to be here), ROCK THE HOUSE, GET IT ON!!!!

[treeloving]

[Dots]

[skatinginbc]

Mao looks so skinny

[Olympia]

Now things are getting to the nailbiting stage.

[Nadine]

ps: and GOOOOOOOOOOO MAO, NAIL THE 3AXEL, YOUR SIGNATURE JUMP!!!

[skateflower]

I hate Wagner. She's so arrogant.

[evangeline]

YES!

They should have played it during men's final group instead. None of these ladies seem to know that they are sexy at all.

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.

I agree with this. I prefer Cynthanny (I am down with this nickname too) but at the end of the day Ameie has beaten her several times this season and had better international results. "Convincingly?" Who cares? Cynthia has not won once, and it is her own fault she hasn't. She gave it away at Canadians by getting level ones and twos on several elements. That is unacceptable at their level. I hope Cynthia comes back strong next season, I really do, but I will be upset if she is sent. It would be, as you say, UNFAIR, and that means something to me.

Ashley looks so happy and relaxed!
