Lena's sp from today. She's currently in 2nd place with a score of 69.34. She stumbled twice, only got a level 3 stsq, and her goes could've been higher, but overall, it's a good first outing for her after the whole mess with her mom and Plushenko.

Well, needless to say, 3 falls and a REP is not good. Her mom wasn't happy with 2nd, so instead there's 9th...but still, she landed 3/4 ultra-c jumps. It seems to me that she simply didn't have the energy left for the second half of the program. Overall, I'm not too worried. 2 weeks isn't a lot of time, but I'm sure this will only motivate Lena to work harder, and I have faith that she'll nail it at nats (though, I do hope they're willing to reduce the content if need be...she may not win, but she needs to at least do well enough to make the national team).

Very proud of Lena for this win! She's set herself up well for that grand prix spot if the juniors are allowed back next season
