They're showing SKATING on TV? And I only missed half an hour?

I just missed Jeremy Abbott. They're in the Kiss and Cry. Here comes Kozuka.

Wow Rachael is so slow now it's almost painful to watch. She skated clean for the most part and still didn't get neat 100 points. Of all the US Ladies they couldn't get someone better?

I used to be a fan of Rachael's skating, and feel like one of her few admirers on this board -- but as of this competition, I'm not a fan of her skating anymore. I really didn't enjoy the sp -- it seemed like someone's idea of choreography was having her throw her arms in the air as a so-called artistic move, but nothing was going on with her blades except stroking at the time of the arm movements. Just slow, empty of good choreo, boring.

**Though I still think the whole Worlds skating-while-injured debacle was ridiculous (I have no problem with her skating that year, she earned her spot), and I also think she was egregiously underscored at her Olys due to incorrect UR calls -- these among other things I will continue to defend her about. But I sure didn't find anything enjoyable about her performances here.

At lease she is not going to finish last. She is now ahead of Hecken.

The question for me tonight is, can Sotnikova finally perform a clean program without mistakes in competition for the first time in 18 months.

that's highly unlikely to happen to Adelina atm, Ashley will win this by a huge margin

I totally agree that Ashley is going to win, but it would be so nice to finally see a clean program from Adelina

why did haruka get a 1 point deduction? I don't remember her falling. I shouldn't be multitasking and watching at the same time...
