Doggygirl said:Thanks Yelyoh! All info is welcome. Sounds like Evan is really coming into his own. I'm glad to hear Johnny tried the quad. (I hope along with that, that his foot is totally healed!)

yelyoh said:There are some comments at MKF if that helps any. In a nutshell:
1. MK skated full outl, landed five 3 jumps and the last doubled.
2. Sasha struggled on jumps but didn't fall.
3. Jenny clean

That is correct. Please do not tell me anything about this competition until April 16th.Doggygirl said:And I thought you weren't going to spoil yourself.....

Mathman said:This is what I meant. By "skating all out," IMHO this means putting your heart and soul into it. This has been Michelle's trademark throughout her career.
By "skating for the CoP," to me that means skating with one eye of the rule book and the other on your calculator.
PS. Interestingly, the new judging system seems to be having the opposite effect on men's skating. The men seem to be saying, "Yay, I don't have to do a quad any more, so now I can concentrate on developing my choreography and musical expression. (Buttle, Lysacek and Weir, for instance).
But at Marshall's, Weir tried a quad!
I do! I do! What's not to like?!Doggygirl said:Whether you like her style on the ice or not, I do think Irina skated "all out" at World's in the LP especially.
If we see more programs like that, no one will have any criticism of the CoP or anything else in the sport.Emotion and passion + the technical side. AND had her other eye on the rule book. (Actually, she already knew what the rule book said, so I doubt her mind was on the rule book during her skate.) I think that is why Irina prevailed.
