i said yesterday that this is emily's chance. Glad to see she used it! Is this the fianl? did she win? Alissa fell thress times? i guess nationals was just a fluke. i really hope she can pull it together for worlds. She is sucha pretty slkater and has GREAT spins.
Chinese lady [sorry no name] skating well after initial fall, dressed in red to classical music. Lots of missed jumps though, triples turned into doubles and singles.
Actually if the repeated jump isnt in combination its base value is multiplied by a factor of 0.80. so her second triple flip and lutz were only worth 80% of the base value but then multiplied by 1.1 because it was in the back half of the program.
This is what I thought must have happened (the reverse of what did) until I looked at the scores. No way, to me, should Hughes beat Rochette in the PCS. In the TES I can actually see it because while Rochette popped her lutzes, she also executed three combinations/ sequences of jumps which is really important for top technical marks.
kimme popped the flip? wow. emily may win this thing. Blue? i hated that dress. I liked the red one she wore at natioanls. and the black very simple thing she bought in paris.
