So all the As are leading after the SP: Agnes, Alissa, and Ashley in Ladies; Abbott, Adam and Armin in Men. Interesting.

Thanks for this, FlattFan (we are simpatico)! I'm still on a high and can't settle down from this awesome night of skating; wish IN had the replays already up & ready to go b/c I'd be there watching my fav performances over & over again & over again.
It's good to hear a first-hand experience right from Nationals. Here's hoping you enjoy yourself, I unfortunately recall how you had planned to go to Worlds last year to see Rachael skate live for the very first time, but then that awful quake & tsunami hit. I'm glad you finally get to see her skate live. She is something else, especially when she's on & raring to go, I'll never forget seeing her live at 2010 Skate America. I'll always contend she deserves first place there.
ENJOY! :thumbsup:
Can't wait to hear your comments for the Mens FS!
Just got back from watching the SP live. Keegan is the fastest. His speed is incredible. My favorite program of the night.
Abbott has better skating skill and is the second fastest of the night. But Abbott is slow compare to Keegan.
From a scale 1-10, Keegan speed would be 10, Abbott 7, the rest of them in 5-6 range.
I'm watching the ice desk now, OMG JOHNNY IS JUST HILARIOUS. he's so entertaining! and I thought he did such a wonderful job being a commentator for the first time. he was so knowledgeable and did a great job. love him.
Peter carruthers was soooo uncomfortable and annoyed lolol I couldn't stop laughing. Kristi and Ryan were basically like, uhhhhhh....
I think I have a new found love for Johnny.
His press conference was excellent as well. Lots of great lines. I laughed especially hard at this one:
"This ridiculous scoring system wants you to do a Quad Flip with your finger in your nose. Or transform from a swan into a deck of cards in order to gain an extra .2 points."
Great results. I hope Abbott and Rippon are our World team this year and Abbott wins his 3rd U.S title. If Abbott can skate a long program at the same level as his short program here, and do both at Worlds, he could be in the running for the silver medal.
He wouldn't be in the running for gold?
