I guess I can do some pbp if people want it. Does anyone want pbp?

Yikes, the first three skaters had some SERIOUS issues. Leonov was better than the other three, but still....I've never seen FIVE deductions on a program.

 

[MissIzzy]

Well it started as a splatfest, and Leonov didn't do too well either, all told.hwell:

 

[ChrisH]

The warm-up break for the next group is a good thing. Gives us time to recover.

Hi. Just to verify the first jump in Kirsten's program. It was, in fact, a 3-toe with double 3-turn turn-outs.

And if Nancy could stop calling her Kristen, that'd be great.

Otherwise, YAY, Kirsten!! I'm so happy for her. I've watched her grow up on the ice since her first learn to skate lesson 'til now, and I'm thrilled she put out such a lovely showing at Nationals. I know she was really disappointed with her short program last year. Now I just *really* hope she stays in a nice, high placement!

 

[Wrlmy]

Can Kirsten get international assignment?

 

[waxel]

Thanks for the pbp flyingnun! Even with the jump problems, I think Ellie Kawamura is LOVELY. Great stretch and a natural performer.
