Ladies Short Program

[Doggygirl]

I know I'm jumping the gun here, but after the first five skaters it looks like Alissa had a good skate and is right behind Miki and ahead of Liashenko. I sure hope we get to see her on TV!!

USA Ladies continue to rock...

Angela is now in second only .02 behink Miki. Sounds like she had a really nice skate too. Ota just went into 4th, so that means both US ladies will be in the final warmup group for the FS. I can't wait to hear more "ringside" reports later from Doris and others there. I'M JEALOUS!!!!!!

Cynthia tied with Alissa for third. Is that the first tie under COP? What are the odds of that??????

interesting results....

Not the results I would have expected AT ALL! Should be a very interesting LP!

Go Alissa! What a great debut!

Wow, not only did Czinsy and Phaneuf tie overall, they are exactly tied in both the tech and the component marks.

I think the fans are getting an exciting contest even without the headliners. This is good for the sport.

Amazing for Angela as well...........can she hold on and not fall apart in the long? 42

From reading fsu

Ando completed 3z/3l, 3f and 2a, WOW she has been landing the triple lutz/triple loop since 13 year old

Angela completed 3z/2t, 2f, and 2a, even with doubling the flip she is second


Alissa completed 3z/2t, 3f and 2a

Great for Angela!!!

Miki is ahead of Angela only because of the harder triple combo....but really, I felt Angela interpreted the music better, and has much better positions in spins and spirals. I hope she can hold it together for the long. Miki was nice to watch...just nothing special. She went first, and didn't seem to have much energy. Alissa....wow! Where did she come from??? No one around where I was sitting seemed to know where she was last year! Lot of energy, good extension in spirals, good presentation, solid jumps. She got the largest SO of the night, more than half the crowd. Cynthia should NOT be tied with her. Sorry to her fans, but she singled her triple flip, and although she is nice to watch, she did not have "spark".....the tie is a gift. Ota, i think, did better.

Angela completed a 3 flip! That is why is almost even with Ando.

I am big fan of MIKI. and say[ Congratulations]
IT is perfect debue!

a big earthquake sufficiently just now.

I think Miki will have the edge over Angela in the LP because of better stamina.

Although I agree that Cynthia got a bit higher marks than I expected on the technical side, considering her single flip, but you can't deny how beautifully she skated, every move of hers is coreographed. You could forget that it was a technical program.

I am really looking forward to her LP....

Herios,

Cynthia's program WAS beautifully choreographed, and very musical. But, her 'dramatic expression' looked quite painful, and I didn't fully enjoy the program until she was smiling a bit. The other people sitting around me commented on her expression as well...I think it would help her present it better. But I still feel she was overmarked to be tied with Czisny, IMO.

I am soooooooooooooooo happy for Angela right now! I think this will give her the boost she needs in the long...
