[Oreo]

Kanako is growing into a lovely young woman.

[hurrah]

Okay, so if Caroline doesn't tank, she's gonna win this.

[Jammers]

Please someone anyone beat Leonova please.

[Becki]

If Aleona wins this...it will be kinda weird. But the ladies are just so weak this year...

Carolina for Gold. Akiko Silver pleaseee

[kwanatic]

Looks like Ashley may hold on for bronze.

Well, if Alena wins at least she somewhat earned it. She delivered in the LP too...*sigh*

Ashley could get a medal!!

[tampro1]

Not sure how I'd score that skate from Kanako. She had a great 3-3 in the middle of her skate, but lots of little errors.

I wish Kanako would do a better job of selling it ala Alena. Alena sells sells sells and sometimes she can fool the judges and audience into thinking she's skating great. Kanako didn't smile at all.

[brightphoton]

please please please let Ashley podium!

[100yen]

I agree. I don't know if she should stay with Sato though.

I think Sato has done really wondrous things with Mao. Under him she seems more lighthearted...I think he's goo for her psychologically at least.

[kiz_4Ever]

Come on, Caro!!!!

[museksk8r]

Pristine clean 3loop and 3flip from Caro!

[pangtongfan]

Ashley winning the bronze depends only on how Kostner or Suzuki skates. If Suzuki has even a couple problems she can definitely pass her. Makarova has no chance to stay ahead of Wagner, even her best LP will barely score over 110 probably.
