Hi everyone,

third place in free skating - great!
(By the way I don't realize the higher score of Jeffrey Buttle, what
was it he earned the technical score for???)

It seemed to be a tough competition for everybody there in Moscow may
be because of the condition at the rink or due to the preparation for
the Olympics.

It isn't the time and the place to discuss the expectations for
Torino but one thing should be clear: The winner takes it all ...
so the pressure next year will be completely on Jeffrey Buttle
Superstar. Canada will expect him to be at the podium in Calgary (at
least)- this makes it easier for Emanuel (I hope so!).

IMO Emanuel did better at Worlds than ever before. Sure, there was
the chance for more ... but it's over and all the guys there were
struggling. Emanuel reached the Top Ten for the fourth time in a row.
We know he wants more ... but with his third place in free skating
he proved what is going to be possible even in the strong field of
these competitors.

Congratulations from Germany. Hold on to your dreams...

Klaus
