awwww, poor Binshu

Yes.... but don't worry, that kid will have the last laugh.

Not too much actually. I think Meissner botching the short would be the biggest surprise here and winding up in what- 4th? in a field she really should be blowing away given her status (maybe with the exception of Rochette).

I think Suguri's placement also constitutes a pretty big surprise.

 

[R.D.]

Surprise though is I didn't expect Hughes to be in 2nd right now. I thought she'd be around 4th or 5th but I think those falls might be overshadowing how steady she is as a competitor.

 

[Spun Silver]

Soooooo much for Bin Shu having the jumps.

She is ONE POINT behind the World and US Champ in technical scores.

Hope they all have a great long! Make some competitive excitement!
(well, if Kimmie skates clean, she'll win)

[Yuunnaa<3]

holy, Aki in 3rd! Who is she?

 

[R.D.]

Funny thing is Emily has a great shot at the podium or even winning the entire event if Kimmie and Joannie botch up their freeskates...I mean Em beat a flawed Kimmie even WITH a fall at Nats...

Alyssa is a complete wildcard. Not wishing for her demise (in fact, the opposite), but I don't think it'll be her day Saturday and I expect someone else to win. I mean, if Kimmie can land those jumps in the freeskate she should blow everyone away. Somehow I see Joannie as the likely winner...? :scratch:

Don't know but just realized the top Six (with Kimmie at the bottom ) are separated by only four points. That's nothing and that should make the Freeskate exciting and suspenseful even if it turns out to be a complete zamboni-fest.

 

[Spun Silver]

Gosh, what a strange event. Over and out!

 

[R.D.]

Suguri in 12TH??? yikes. Usually she gets it together by this time in the season!

 

[ks777]

I wonder if Suguri will retire after this competition. I wouldn't be surprised.

Sending all my positive energy Fumie's way!
