Fumie With The Silver She Beat Sasha Omg Way To Go!!!

fumie is 2nd, sasha is 3rd...

I totally agree that Kimmie should be in first place, but triple-triples don't translate to near full point increases in interpretation and choreography...

Her PCS are ridiculously higher than in the past and that's so dumb. Just shows that PCS follow the TES and don't mean much.

Fumie beat Sasha at least!!! 209.74 total. Hopefully she's secured herself a medal.

I hope Yukari nails the 3A and makes the podium.

That was VERY painful for me to watch.

Oh the things that could have been...

Very disappointing performances from Buttle and Rochette here. But they came up with the goods where it mattered more, in Turino.

 

[zeytin]

what a performance from sokolova...much better than cohen!!! just a mistake in 3F...

 

[coolio]

AT 16....Kimmie I think is the youngest skater to win gold since Tara Lipinski .
Now we wait and see if Yukari can knock Sasha out of the podium.

 

[Jasper]

Awwww, Elena Sokolova short of Cohen. I love her and this is great redemption after such a disappointing Olympics.

 

[zeytin]

poor judging for sokolova...IMO not fair...crowd didn't like it,too.
she's 4th behind cohen.....

As I've said before, when Kimmie was watching the Ladies SPs at the Olympics, somebody said something about her "studying the veterans to learn from them." Kimmie's face said to me, "I can take these guys."

At the beginning of Worlds I said something like, "Kimmie is hungry, ambitious, pretty consistent, young, seems to have a good competitive head, and has a body that has not been beaten up by years of pushing her body into ever more difficult positions and elements." I don't think I posted this, but what I felt was, "I wouldn't be surprised if Meissner takes it all."

Also, Sasha looked beaten before she ever stepped on the ice. I said she looked physically and mentally exhausted.

I see no World gold in Sasha Cohen's skating career.

Did Nakano do the 3A? No falls, it says. I'm sure she wasn't credited for it anyway because they usually reduce it to a 2A.

Silver for Fumie.

Congrats to Kimmie but I can't say she's even remotely a mature skater. I hope to see Kim, Asada, and Gedevanishvili all competing against her next season.

OMG, a live Rgirl sighting. No wonder there was an upset!

 

[R.D.]

1.Kimmie

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!! Meissner...world CHAMPION??! This has got to be the biggest worlds shocker in a LONG time.

 

[coolio]

C'mon she is only 16, she is quite mature for her age comparing to other young Japanese skaters. I dont think Sasha/Sarah/Jennifer were nearly as good as Kimmie is now. Good accomplishment tho.
