Ladies Short Program

[Kissx3]

Barring any technical errors I'm not seeing on the skippy stream that should give her a nice lead. Kostner going clean - how did that happen?

Best Caro has skated all season. Beautiful SP. Loved it.

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

Oh, Carolina! I haven't seen you skate so relaxed in a long time!



You were amazing!

 

[Trewyn]

CAROLINA! I love her. Last year, I rooted for Laura. but since I saw Carolina live, I strongly believe she's NOT overrated as I thought she was. She has such presence on the ice. She often strikes lovely positions, her footwork is untouchable and when she does them, her triples triples can be so impressive! I hope she'll make the Olympics and Worlds!

 

[janetfan]

Wow! Caro skated so well. Love her music and program!

[Trewyn]

Oh, and Frank Carroll wasn't there, of course, he's with Mirai... Must have been a tough choice... But he just had more skaters at US Nats?

 

[hauteor]

Gedevanishvili- also not my cup of tea...

Outrageous bouquet from president Saakashvili... This is Estonia, not Georgia...

Hurray for Elene! I'm so happy for her!

 

[demarinis5]

Hurray for Elene! I'm so happy for her!

Me too. She was fabulous. Very happy for her.

 

[Trewyn]

Haha, yeah what a bouquet!

I'm not a big fan, but I do admire the way Elene kept the energy in her program! Funny reaction, I don't know whose scores she saw and thought were hers; but she sure got a good score. If only she could keep it together in the Long... Now what will Laura do? And go Jenna!

 

[museksk8r]

Wow! Elene should be really pleased with that effort and score! Great for her!

It's really great to see the Euro ladies bringing it in the SP!

My brains not in gear today so i'm just asking - but mid 60s for a programme with just a 3-2 - is that in the realms of normal or is the judging a little inflated?

Also 60 for 3T-2T?
