Fix? What Fix? Your darling Zhenya is only 3 points behind the bomb-prone Gracie Gold after her mistake in the SP. If Medvedeva makes mistakes it's not "fixing" for Gracie to outscore her at all.

I can't tell you enough how worried I am about Frank Carroll. I've been watching him for decades and have seen his reactions to his skaters losing before. Last night was easily the saddest I've seen him look. For HIS sake, I want Gracie to skate perfectly, even if she doesn't win, I want her to get a huge ovation from the crowd and get herself in any place on the podium.

It's a fix because Gold was definitely overscored in the SP. And they've set her up to win even if she makes a mistake or two.

If this is an honest comment, I think your knowledge of skating might be limited. Gracie's program was technically difficult, beautifully choreographed, and skated with more character than she's had all season. In fact, maybe ever. She earned her place at the top and had Med skated better, I would have had no problem seeing her in first place. It just wasn't her night. Some people might say that Anna was over scored. I however, thought she was great.

Or does he just look older? Or does he just have on a sad-looking hat?

Oh please. This isn't a "Fix". A fix is Adelina scoring 8 points higher than Mao in the Sochi LP.
If Zhenia pulls of an inspired 8-triple LP and is still scored way below a weaker Gold, then we can talk about fixes.

I think Anna deserved to be first. Gracie was overscored on PCS. While this is the best short she has ever had, she still lacks interpretation and any kind of connection to the music. Ashley is miles ahead in this regard. It would be fair if Gracie was closer to 74. But they gave her a couple of extra points in PCS IMO.

No......That's not it. I've seen him look worried or even disappointed at scores before. In fact, in 2001 when Michelle got her scores after the free program at Worlds. He shook his head and looked upset at the judges but, not at Michelle as she had done the best she could. Remember in 2010 when Mirai won the SP at Worlds and the bombed her FP and dropped like a stone out of medal contention? Even then.....He didn't look as sad as he did last night.

Here's the thing about Gracie. She has Frank and Lori on her team. That's like having Alexei Mishin in Russia. You just don't mess with a Man who has won as much as he has.
Funny, my husband mentioned to me last night that he thought Frank Carroll did not look well and that was before Denis skated. I think Frank was disappointed for Denis in the Kiss and Cry.
I am just hoping that all of the ladies skate their best here and that we have an exciting event.

Whew, with all this talk about a fix in for Gracie to win gold, now I don't need to worry about how she skates! What a relief.

I also thought he didn't look well. I hope evrything is ok.
I'm happy that Gracie is in first and in a position to win but Ryan Bradley seems to think that she's one of the fiercest competitors...like ever. Is he feeling alright. Maybe she's very competitive but I still don't see her as a great competitor...yet. Too inconsistent imo.

New bet: How many pages will this thread get to before the skate actually starts?
