But wait till Mao Asada or Yuna Kim gets wuzrobbed tomorrow.
OMG, can you imagine the mass hysteria that would break out if both of them were beaten by Rochette, Kostner, or Ando?

Well, I certainly meant to be amusing.You guys are so funny! Don't know if you meant to be, but still ...
Tomas Verner, on the other hand, was totally robbed.
We must ensure this thread is longer than the ladies' thread! But the judges will likely ruin our worthy goal by giving Caro high marks on a performance with mistakes, or displeasing the Mao and/or Yu-Na bots, or getting all our Canadian friends to chime in about how Joannie wuzrobbed. Judges, please mark the ladies fairly!
Ugly. I thought the audience felt quite stingy. In Göteborg we cheered ourselves hoarse for almost every skater and everyone in the last group(s) got standing o's. That's how you do, cos you're so happy to see them.Oh, speaking of this, I was offended at the way the crowd was pushed into clapping for the Americans. After all of the Americans skated, the jumbotron lighted up and said "CLAP LOUDER!!!". This was not done for any of the competitors. Only the Americans.
:agree: I think I fit in there *fears*i am addicted to men's figure skating...i think i need to join a support group for that....maybe start one, MFSA, Men's Figure Skating Anonymous. We'll stand up and confess, "I am a Men's Figure Skating junkie.". That'd be a start.
Very good and interesting post.entire post
Oh yes. They never were my biggest favourites, but they were on a completely different level. The men's field feels... poor now.The only thing I can say about the Men's....
Where is Stephane? Where is Jeffrey??!!
WHERE ARE THEY!!!! :banging:
There are definitely some differences - Göteborg was so voidy, it was one big non-stop party, everybody got loads of cheering. Same goes actually for Euros in Helsiniki this year.Ugly.

It certainly was. The biggest party I ever went on. *remember good old times and gets a tear in her eye*There are definitely some differences - Göteborg was so voidy, it was one big non-stop party, everybody got loads of cheering.
Okay, I checked Joubert's 3T on super-super-slowmo. It was definitely 1/5 to 1/4 underrotated - but not more.
Speaking of party, are you planning to go to Tallinn next year? Should be good - directly before the Olympics, the city is beautiful.It certainly was. The biggest party I ever went on. *remember good old times and gets a tear in her eye*
I miss him so much... I hope he'll be back next year.I missed weir yesterday, and stephan
Maybe. Not that far away. I'll just be home from South Africa then, so maybe havn't that much money. But we'll see. Will you be going?Speaking of party, are you planning to go to Tallinn next year? Should be good - directly before the Olympics, the city is beautiful.
Look, I don't know what's going on within the ISU; it's a great mystery . And I know you're not overly fond of Joubert, esp. this year's programs from him. But to reduce his skating to nothing but pelvic thrusts is unfair and inaccurate.
I love your signature.I miss him so much... I hope he'll be back next year.
There has been so much negativity around the men's event and so many harsh comments about some of the skaters, it's hard to figure out who means what without the smileysYou are right. I guess a smiley was missing after my 'pelvic thrusts'. Then it would be easier to understand that I have not reduced his program only to this, since I claim he still should have scored high and tight with others. Still, in my opinion choreograpy is poor and program is rather silly.
Thanks Men's field just isn't the same this year without them...I love your signature.
Also, yes, come to Tallinn, everyone. I'm so excited about next year, never seen a senior international event live in my home town. Well, never seen a senior event live, period.
Oh, you are from Tallinn! That's fantastic. Do you guys understand Russian there or should I start learning a finno-ugric language? I hate going somewhere if I don't have even a basic knowledge of the language.Also, yes, come to Tallinn, everyone.

It's closer to Finnish than Russian, right?Oh, you are from Tallinn! That's fantastic. Do you guys understand Russian there or should I start learning a finno-ugric language? I hate going somewhere if I don't have even a basic knowledge of the language.
I didn't think I would miss them as much as I actually do. I thought the field would feel more open without any big names. But it feel just... flat. It will be a thrilling final though. With this judging, anything can happen, apparently.I still think the men's field is exciting though. And having Johnny + Dai there would probably result in an emotional overload for me...
hee I will. Dang, I can't wait! I'm kind of really sorry I never got to see Stephane compete, though.Champ in your hometown... prepare for the week of your life!! It will be huge, enormous, thrilling, fantastic fun!
lol As retarded as it sounds, Tallinn is kind of split in two that way, with the Russian-speaking folk living their lives and we Estonians our own. I mean, a lot of people speak both languages, of course. But mostly the younger generation hasn't really got the hang of it properly.Oh, you are from Tallinn! That's fantastic.
