Can't really blame these skaters. Altitude really impacts the performance

 

[R.D.]

Not surprising to me. I think some folks overlook that she has serious jump issues

 

[R.D.]

I'd rather have her do this here than world championships.

good point.

 

[SailorGalaxia518]

I love Joannies program to "Don Juan"

 

[greengal5874]

I wish that Alissa could get her confidence in check. She is our only pleasant ladies skater now, without Sasha or Michelle. I sure hope that they come back for 2010. Figure skating just isn't the same anymore without Michelle.

Does anyone even like Kimmie's skating? I'm sorry, but I am NOT impressed. She has not artistic value and needs to wear some makeup, too.

 

[evenstar]

Oh well. Even with three falls she gets a decent score. Hope she does at worlds.

[lutzskate]

Come on Joannie! 120! 120! 120!

 

[R.D.]

Kimmie doesn't need the makeup. What she needs is some PERSONALITY, some ATTITUDE out there.

She's a steady competitor but from an entertainment standpoint, just boooooring...

 

[redhotcoach]

Alissa is such a graceful skater. She is like the American Mira Leung.

OMG - Alissa is such a graceful, elegant skater both on and off the ice. There's no way she should be compared to Mira Leung. Have you seen Mira skate in person? Mira has no grace or elegance on the ice and disguises it with a program full of gestulating body moves and no extended edges or flow. Alissa's spins are the best in the world and her spiral sequence is second to none.

I would compare Alissa more to Canada's Joannie Rochette.

Average score for Joannie. What happened?

Never mind. Everyone is posting at the same time.

She will win with this. This is actually the second best performance from her this season.

All the rest skaters are lacklaster.

Emily next. Don't smile, i hate it.

 

[greengal5874]

I hope that Czisny & Hughes finish better than Kimmie. I can't believe that she got endorsement deals.
I agree- she needs a personality or something.
Anyone else think that Evan Lyscachek is hot?

 

[SailorGalaxia518]

She's all smiles though
