Boy, I wish I were there. Thanks again, Rosaleen.

Is it true that the scores from the qualifying round don't count in the final total, so it is just the short and the long programs that determine the winners?

Mao Asada looks unbeatable. But a great result for all of the American ladies. Alissa Czysny! :rock::rock::rock: Thanks for capturing the emotion of the moment for us, Rosaleen.:love:

Thanks again Rosaleen!

Like Mathman I wish I were there with you!! But your reports are definitely the next best thing.

MM, I too was confused about how Q-round scores were being treated. What I was told is that for some reason, the ISU decided it was too much to expect of Juniors to skate 3 consistent programs. Don't know if that's accurate or not. Maybe someone else knows more definitively why they are doing this different than Seniors.

Just saw a picture of Mira on the Skate Canada Junior Worlds Website. Her dress is beautiful! Yellow is definitely her colour. Much more improved since Canadians. Too bad she didn't have the great skate to match though... :eek:hwell:

Just looked at Skate Canada's photo page, which is really good by the way. From the front on shot that they used for the skaters, Mira's new dress looks so much like Amanda Billings dress.

I'll agree with that; sounds like a very impressive showing from a nation not known as a skating powerhouse.

However, I have to inject one of my FUN FACTS: :biggrin:

She's actually not Thailand's first figure skater. A lady named Charuda Upatham finished -- I think it was 29th, I don't feel like going through the scrapbooks to verify, my apartment is enough of a post-tornado zone as it is at the moment -- at the 89 Worlds. Then apparently she was never heard from again -- as was Thailand up until this season.

You're right, Jonnycoop. I went into skatabase, and there she was!

I heard she was going to college at the time (College of the Holy Cross) and she just decided to finish school instead. Became an accountant, married a classmate, and now lives as Charuda Costello.

Wow. Hurray for the winners, but hurray for Tammy Sutan, the first ever Thai skater!
She was born and lives in the US and has competed at the national level this season.
