yes, Gracie did very well.She also struggled in the SP at Skate America with the same program...so I don't think that was it.
She just did a good job. I'll give her credit where credit is due. :yes:

Yes. If Kanako wins. And if Alena gets second/Satoko is second and scores 121.30 or less in the FS/ Gracie scores 116.20 or less in the FS and drops to 2nd.
Wonderful Performances by the top 4! I'm a happy camper.
I WISH they'd give Satoko higher PCS; her speed and blade control is amazing. I'll be patient.
Do this well tomorrow ladies!
She has definitely lost weight. And, if you want my personal opinion, it has been a big mistake.
Now, of course I realise that the motivation for losing weight was to make up for being so well endowed. Let's face it, with those babies, she was carrying a lot more weight than all the other skaters on the circuit.
But, rather than coming off her chest, the weight has come off her waist.
The result is that not only does she now look aesthetically out-of-proportion (a massive chest on a slim girl just doesn't look right), but it means that she is even more top-heavy than before. And that in turn means a higher centre of gravity, which makes it even harder for her to the jumps.
Perhaps not surprising then that Elene really did look in pain as soon as the routine finished. But, she quickly put on a smile for the cameras when coming off the ice.
So, in other words, the tactic is backfiring!

OMG, I thought that the curse on our Polinas was broken.

Whatever the scores are, I thought Kanako was the best and was underscored just as the Japanese skaters were at Worlds earlier this year. I think she should be in the lead, but if not that she should at the very least be in close to a 3 way tie. I think Satoko was underscored too, but I can see Leonova and Gold being a just a little bit above her because of the height on their jumps, certainly not 8 points. All 4 skated really well. But, I don't know how Kanako could have skated any better. I can't see any urs and her jumps were high with good flow and she had wonderful extensions and the best Biellmann I have ever seen her do. I thought she was fantastic. It's my favorite SP performance of the year.
Yes Alena should be in first but they have to keep Gracie up there so that even if she falls to 2nd here she might have enough points to make the GPF.
What ? Gracie did 3Lz+3T and Alena did 3T+3T.Also, I don't think Alena will be that much lucky about spin levels and GOE's again.
These results are amazing for my favourite skaters.I am so happy. I hope Gracie and Alena will be on top 2 so that Ashley and Gracie can go to Barcelona. :selfishmodeon:
Oh my, top three ladies brought their A game, loved it!
