Ladies Short Program

[show 42]

Wow.......Kimberly is holding her own against some long time international skaters............good for her.........:thumbsup: 42

Sokolova is out of the podium. And she won't come back.

Definitely. However, I actually thought her scores, while not good, were pretty generous for what she did. Anyway, felt bad for her as she sat in the K&C trying not to do the latter.

I kept refreshing the torino 2006 page because i assumed it wasn't updating... this is so sad, since i love cupcake & wanted her to do well...

Why do you have to wait for 7 hours?

It won't be on here until 8 pm EST (now 5.5. hours)

I 'm afraid I'm feeling the opposite. I don't find ladies exciting usually and that's definitly the same here. Beside Meissner, none was really worth it. Liu was interesting but .... Someone from another board called the competition "attack of the clone" (except the jumps). I pretty much agree with that.
I just hope that the best will be real good like at the Europeans where the 2 last groups of the long program were nice to see.

They are showing some skaters live on CBC. They are going back and forth from sking to skating.

We should see some triple-triple again in this group!

Waoouuuuuh, Ge-or-gia !!!! Ge -or-gia !!!! Ge-or- gia !!!!
The first thrill of the evening !!!!
What a brilliant young lady !!!!

She is second. The public has a mixed reaction. They wanted her 1st. So do I.

Glebova is currently in last place (13th) & Gedevanishili has moved into 2nd behind Meissner & in front of Rochette. Ando has now moved into 3rd, Rochette is 4th. Hughes is next.

 

[rain]

Wow the judges were generous with Ando. I thought she should have been behind Rochette, with the mistake on the jump and almost running into the boards on the spiral sequence. I think reputation has reared it's ugly head for the first time.

 

[Kirkbiggestfan]

What mistake?

 

[Jane2]

Emily just skated!
Sounds like she did great!

 

[Nmsis]

What mistake?

I don't know how it's called in english. The 2 jumps following each other.

It's driving me crazy watching the scores update at torino2006.org, the details coming up on nbcolympics.com, and the comments from y'all that are getting to see it already. It's like crack!

une combinaison? the jump combo?
or she did a jump sequence?

 

[CDMM1991]

How did Ando, Rochette, and Meissner skate? I'm just tuning into CBC now.
