I'm happy for Sasha. One fall isn't bad......
kyla2 said:I am very happy for Sasha and disappointed for Michelle. There were reasons for Michelle's scores and I don't think the judges are sending her any messages. She just had a bad skate. I think she will come back fighting however. I hope Sasha can maintain her momentum and do really well for herself. It would be vindication for her decision to go back to John Nicks and would shut up alot of people.
Yes, overall they may be that far down right now - but it isn't over yet.Frau Muller said:Big-time BUMMER for the Canadian ladies, Cynthia & Joannie. Where are they overall? 10th & 16th? Sheesh....

Without having seen her performance, it's hard to know whether it was intended to be Level 2 but perhaps was downgraded because she didn't hold her positions long enough, but if it's an absolute Level 1 regardless of execution, then shame on all of her advisors because she's certainly capable of more.
Now that I've seen part of Sasha's performance on CBC, she looked a little tentative. To me, her program did not have the flow and grace that we have come to expect from her. So I think the component scores were right for this performance.yelyoh said:Sasha's PCS scores are a little lower than I expected. Nothing above 7.5. Looks as though you have to be great to get an 8 in singles. Not so for pairs or dance.
I agree that Michelle looks "fantastic--slim and gorgeous"--absolutely! But I also noticed that she does not look as muscular in her upper body as she did for Nationals and Worlds in 2004 and especially in 2003. Maybe it's a factor in her jumps, maybe not. Maybe muscles are in the eye of the beholder.eyria said:Jesslily, this is twice now recently that you've commented on Michelle's weight and how she needs to lose a few pounds. I'm sorry, but that's absolutely ridiculous. I just watched her qualifying skate on TV and she looked fantastic--slim and gorgeous. She's perfect just the way she is.
