Last time I checked, neither Phaneuf or Lacoste got this kind of mark at a Skate Canada in the previous years either and I am pretty sure they were held in Canada as well. Care to explain why?

Wow, I like the new Emily Lacost! And the new program! it is amazing to see how much the attention to details and the polished look can do to a skater!

I liked the extension out of the double axel

This SP comes across like a copycat because it has been done by so many other women before her, the music and even the costume. It lacks originality.

Because she skated cleaner, that's why. Now Canada is thinking that if she at least did all her elements, if they hold her up she might actually win. That's why!

Well, Liza definitely didn't; she's second and could still have a strong finish.

I don't think she lacks feeling in her skating generally, but she seemed pretty flat tonight. I don't know if it's because the program isn't for her or if she's just not prepared/having an off night.

Lacoste
SP score: 53.81, and into 3rd

I agree, but Liza is still a young skater who has many years to develop her musicality and presentation. At this point, I think it's more advantageous for her to skate to music that showcases her strengths....moreover, there are many different kinds of dynamic music.

Is that what Canada think? Wow. Now I know who to ask what I think.

Sure, any time.

So...does anyone know what is Ksenia's real hair color? I am confused.
