Thanks

so it's Suguri, then Flatt. Let's hope the latter makes up for what happened to Alysa.

Good job for Meier... I think with more competitive experience this season, the flair could have been stronger and crisper.. but she worked it nonetheless. A filp off the landing edge or her triple (flip?). I think she deserves 2nd at this point behind Glebova

Ok performance considering her injuries...

 

[figuristka]

Well at least Sarah is rightfully over Alissa .

 

[tae04]

Scores are so inflated tonite. How these scores are Yu Na Kim should get a 73 tonite lol

 

[Wrlmy]

Good for her, just great.

 

[Trewyn]

Sarah looked so happy when she got her score . Goes into the lead.

 

[Kinga]

Apart from Sarah performance, isnt she SUPER beautiful??

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH! The SH1T is about to hit the fan. Scott said Sarah Meier must have gotten a bonus somewhere from the judges, yet the idiot said NOTHING about Alissa Czisny's INSANE GIFT! I'm pissed! :banging:

Good job for Sarah.
One thing, this is not her music of choice!
Her spin and movement rather fits with classical kind of piece.
Her best choreographed program IMHO is her pride and prejudicce during 2006-2007. It went good with costume, music and everything.

Was that 3r or 2r from Miki?

Are you serious? Alissa (amazingly) scores 53.28 in the SP, Rachael hasn't even gone yet and this is just the SP, and we've already "lost our 3 spots"?

While I think it's bit premature to start worrying about 1 spot, one could almost certainly rule out 3 now.

Flatt can't be relied upon to get a 12th. (Not her fault, you just can't put that on any first-timer IMO.) It was really up to Czisny to nail down the 2 spots, and she may very well find herself in 12th at the end of the night. And emotionally shaken on top of it. I'd call it 60/40, US retains 2 spots. Maybe 50/50. (Sorry.)

Miki seems more expressive than usual in this SP.

Certain commentators are ruining skating just by opening their mouths. TPTB have to remove them .

 

[Trewyn]

Miki looks 5 years younger than last year .

 

[Kutien]

Was that 3r or 2r from Miki?

I think that 3r

 

[Daniel5555]

Miki Ando seemed to be REALLY good. She's amazing.

 

[yelyoh]

Miki solid.

Never liked him as a commentator Tracey Wilson and Barb Underhill were always much better.

Miki Ando will certainly be a threat for a medal. Joannie will have to skate very well.
