Ladies short has started

[essence_of_soy]

First flight has already skated.

Just noticed that Carter is in the later group after dance. Good chance she'll make the final if she skates clean.

So, does this mean we don't get to see any OES?

 

[Hsuhs]

what's OES?

 

[amr927]

OES = Obscure European Skaters

 

[Hsuhs]

you mean all those non-kimmies?

Honestly, I have no idea.

Is Rosaleen not doing PBP for the ladies?

 

[Tigger]

Since the first half is mostly made up of the latter half of the Ladies Field, I wouldn't be shocked that Rosaleen is either resting, getting something to eat or both!!

Remember, Dance Free is coming up and then the Second Half of the Ladies Short. Long day for her today.

I know, I know. I just have an aquantince in the "latter half of the Ladies field", and am curious how she skated, since I'm 99% sure her performance won't be on TV.

Anastasia Gizametdinova won the first half. She was the only skater to get a few 5s in the program components. The judges were very stingy with the marks so far. She is the only skater in the firsthalf guarantted to make the FS. If its like the men, all the ladies in the second half will make the FS.

(I thought it was a lovely program)

 

[R.D.]

I'm sure those marks will increase, esp. with the last group and with ASADA, ANDO and KIM (Yu-na, not Meissner)

 

[Rosaleen]

Well, I had a bit of a disaster happen last night and somehow I lost my pair's free program article. It was saved on my computer when I left the arena after the men but not there when I got back to the hotel. I had to completely re-write it (and it's not as good as the original one was) last night and then spent this morning getting the OD and Men's Free articles done.

I really wanted to watch the lower ladies because you never know when you're going to find a gem of a program or discover a new skater that you like.

I'm here for the Free Dance now and will be here for the 2nd half of the Ladies

 

[Tonichelle]

completely understandable Rosaleen! thanks for all of your reporting! you rock!

 

[Spun Silver]

What a woman! How can you cover two events at once? You must have some remarkable professional secrets.

Aren't you getting a wee bit tired? You can admit it.

Hope you are finding plenty of caffeine and non-bananas. Thanks for all the great detail!

Can you watch this live anywhere!? Eurosport is showing stupid TV Shop stuff
