Good Job, Jeffrey. Let's hope that he would finally make it to the 2005 Worlds. I think he would be a threat for a medal. It's nice to see Stefan Lindemann off on the right track after that awful performance at Skate America

Thanks. Rosaleen, great report.

Can't wait to see Jeff, Ryan and Eman.
I'm wondering why Ryan's components score lower than Jeff with huge margine.

Thanks so much for the report, it is so weird, this is the second report that I read that Lindemman feel (which of course I have no doubt that that was what happened) but he got no deductions on his score.

Too bad for Vakhtang, I wanted him to do good, oh well now he has to prepare for Euros.

Oh man, there are too many of my favorites at Skate Canada. I don't know who to root for!
