Woo Hoo!

Woot for Joannie!!! :love:

I am sooo glad that she won, thats fantastic!! I can't wait to actually watch it, gotta wait until 4:30am on TSN though!

What a great way for her to start the season!!

Mathman · Nov 4, 2006

Joannie rocks! :rock:

Well, so far the old ladies (Miki Ando and Joannie Rochette :laugh:

) have taken the kids to school (Mao, Kimmie and Yu-na).

Nice skate for Alissa to keep herself in the mix.

Under ordinal judging Fumie would have won, with a second and a second to Joannie's fifth and first.

Yeah, I'm from NL too, but I'm in NS going to school. I forgot that it's NTV instead of CTV. Silly me! :laugh:

It's worth watching her, so tape it for sure!

Good job, Joannie! Like the costume. The program still needs a bit more flair. The movement is almost there, but the spirit seems not there yet.

Ashley · Nov 5, 2006

Poor Katy.

I hope she can pull herself together for Nats!
