I'm wondering why? I actually thought that Tessa and Scott would win the short dance and that Meryl and Charlie would win the free, but it was exactally the ...
Well, I guess order is restored in the minds of the reptilian judges and caller. I'm sorry, but I don't see any plausible explanation for Dav&Whi's loss here....
I'm bum fuzzled, because I thought V/M lifts were not very smooth at all, but perhaps it looked different live. I thought for sure they would get negative...
Thanks Anne. Â From what you remeebered and with Susan's addition, I conclude she indeed was talking about her place in the US ranking as she was never...
Will perhaps write more later, but all the top four teams were excellent, speed didn't seem to be an issue. We thought Meryl and Charlie had the most...
Can someone explain the 4Cs dance scores? Davis & White got four level threes on their elements. They didn't even get that many level threes at Skate...
I am also puzzled by the lower base value given to Davis/White's FD compared to other recent outings. It's certainly arguable that those downgrades cost them...
... FWIW, I think I saw in one of the post-competition press conference reports that Alex Shibutani had been dealing with a bad cold all week long. -Sandra...
For the Shibs, we theorized that it was too many Igor teams at the top and/or too many North Americans. Their dance was lovely, but all year it's been clear...
The crowd really appreciated Ge's enthusiasm in his footwork. It was a highlight of the competition. l Rosemary Cosgrove-Aguilar Special Commissioner for...
They run around the rink like short track skaters. They are tiny and adorable and I would be inclined to bet at least a nickel that they are really no older...
Once the scores for the Short Dance came up, I must say I expected the long program result for Davis and White. It was a message and the message was you will...
Don, I agree. Live the Shibs are just so engaging, but there will be no repeat of an all North American  ice dance podium. And I saw no real drop off in...
I guess it didn't count when Dubova had the top 3 dance teams. There is still the backlash against coaches from Rusian with N.A. skaters and skaters from...
I know David but we also know the Chinese lied about the real age of their female gymnasts and I believe it was David who pointed out at a World Jr. Ch. that...

Hersh criticizes the USFSA's "irrational" decision not to send Czisny to 4CCs and the decision to send Dornbush. Czisny was apparently planning to attend when...
This is why I love her and why I find her a breath of fresh air. I couldn't believe it when she said during that Nationals' fluff piece that the championship...
I'm not sure what to think of this. I can see that the USFSA would want to have their skaters eligible for the Grand Prix program. Agnes would have gone to...
Hey Ryk, I have some comments and thoughts which I want to pile on your thoughts. ... you look at the protocols from that portion of the event Well I hated the...
Rosemary, Cleo and Don comment on this: Rosemary says: Don, I agree. Live the Shibs are just so engaging, but there will be no repeat of an all North...
... all to look at the protocol sheets. ... I think all who are looking at protocols are still shocked by those levels. ... The less than satisfactory comment...
... That was my conclusion as to why Zhang was picked, although there's no reason that the USFSA couldn't have selected Czisny instead of Zawadzki. Hersh's...
The results make me question my decision to loudly applaud ass't tech specialist Judy Blumberg when she was announced. ;-) Loved her skating but I have to...
I talked to Alissa Thursday afternoon and told her I loved her skating and then said "but you aren't skating here?"Â Her answer was along the lines of "they...
