Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the CBCCC coverage, but PJ really needs to learn when to talk and when to keep her mouth shut and let the skating do the talking. She is doing waaaay too much babbling at times and it's information that we really don't need.

Funny, I thought providing information we don't need and babbling too much was supposed to be the job of the commentators on the main network. I thought the whole point of having a different commentator on CBCCC was to avoid that stuff and let the skating do the talking.

At least now I don't feel so bad about not getting CBCCC on TV and not being able to watch it online thanks to my dodgy Internet connection during the past day or so.

Back to the topic of this thread and on a happier note, let me add another "Way to go, Lesley" to the chorus!

That was a huge step up for Cynthia. Congratulations to her!!!

great job by Cynthia.....nice to see her 3lz and 3F back...and fighting hard for every jump!! best skate since her comeback for sure....if she keeps this up she can definitely challenge Mira and Joannie next year for the top spot!

 

[museksk8r]

Myriane Samson, QC

2a-2a, series
3lz, 2 footed landing
doubled 3f
3sl, 2l, 2l, hands down
2l, doubled planned 3l
spin, nice, she seemed to abandon the music, when having a rough day
3lz, 2l, again sloppy landing
spiral gorgeous,
combo spin,
3s, this is ok.
straight ftwk, she didn't let go of the performance aspect of it.

She has the textbook 2a, but then she fell apart in 3lz, upperbody rotated before take-off.

 

[Wrlmy]

Happy for Cynthia but for Lesley. I hope she's not giving up.

 

[PolymerBob]

Myriane in 3rd.

 

[abbykitty]

Myriane.:banging: one of these days she'll live up to her potential.

Myriane was crying in the kiss and cry zone. Arrgghh. this girl has loads of talent. her trip to junior worlds is at stake now.

 

[abbykitty]

wow Mira looked so strong at the beginning....then pops 2 jumps at the end. should be another easy win for Joannie now.

 

[PolymerBob]

Mira into 1st !!!!!!!!!

 

[museksk8r]

[PolymerBob]

Joannie Rochette, QC

Manon Perron told her to focus and make no mistake

3lz-2t, 2l, strong opening to the program
3f, small stepout
3loop, clean, best loop a female skater can have
circular step, slowing down
fall on 3lz, very tight shoulder,
2a, nice comeback
spin, a little bit off, she is thinking
spiral, beautiful,
3t-half loop-3s, series, precise execution
spin, she is coming back, gaining momentum
2a, 1a, series, another mistake,

very close.

 

[abbykitty]

doh not a great skate for Joannie....one of the worst skates for her this year. she should still win based on her other qualities....but still. I hope she does much better at worlds.

 

[PolymerBob]

Joannie has won. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
