Thanks for reporting back on that. I was wondering if many would. My freeskate right now has vocal music (and I'm not eligible for adult nats anyhow) but I wondered if I would need to change it for a competition like this where interp is a big part. I don't do interp, so this is the only program I've got.

Wondering this myself, I know someone who was competing today and hope she did well - where have all the scores gone?!

The IJS results are being put up as soon as the whole event is done because of some internet connection issues.

Looks from the protocols that the caller was a bit strict. Is this the case? Or did people just miss a lot of stuff. Especially thinking of the duplicate spins in the Gold Ladies event leading to zeros and the toe loop downgrades.

Hey, could someone please post the Silver Dance (couples) results? For some reason they still aren't listed on Icenetwork. I know they would have skated the initial round by now.

As they should! Also sometimes people miss a spin entrance and then it has to get called as the same type of spin as a previous spin etc. so no credit. Some silly mistakes by some skaters...doing 3 loop jumps, or too many combos negates that element. IJS can be tricky gor adults.

These were deserved. The tech panels have been VERY fair. Downgrades received were appropriate, extra spins, etc were correct calls.

As to the comment about IJS being tricky, the rule is plan your skate and skate your plan and always have a back up plan

WE CAN HAZ FOAM WEAPONS!!!!!

Actually, I'm surprised the credential police are allowing our foam weapons into the rink since they are so concerned with us having our credentials on for "security purposes."

Credential police confiscated a friend's credit card as collateral yesterday because she went to her warm-up for champ gold and didn't have it with her. WTF!?

Thanks for the info. I remember it being an issue at Chicago but not in Grand Rapids, so I was curious. Congrats on your medal

The credential police just want to be sure they get their money any way they can. I was walking in with my partner, both rolling skate bags and carrying matching 2006 garment bags, wearing matching outfits and wearing our credentials under our matching jackets, and they asked me for my tag as it was not hanging out.

Anyway, does anyone know who gave out the beautiful medals as tossies? They are wonderful.

And a first place ordinal over Lori - that is a high accomplishment indeed, since Lori is so very very good at interp. Way to go Mel! (Way to go Lori, too, on your gold - don't know if you are on this board, but your interps are always awesome )

Where are all of these lists listed? The winners and what-not. I think I fail with the internet or something because I cannot find them

If is the the medal in a baggie with a note about remembrance, it's from Terryl.
