Kostner 10th in the free skate??? 8O

The world gold medalist in 3rd??

And what's up with BOTH of Jennifer Kirk's performances?

China's entry (Yan Liu) beats both Kirk and Kostner in the free skate??

Irina...ready for a second gold at Worlds, huh? :)

Shizuka...don't forget to send Kostner flowers thanking her for your silver medal!

Carolina...you were almost beat by China's entry!!! Enough said...

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Kirk will NOT by the US ladies third entry to World's next year. Mark my words... ;)

Irina...ready for a second gold at Worlds, huh? :)



Well, considering she hit a 3sal/3loop/2toe, I'm starting to slightly lean towards yes, but that's just me. :P

I gotta say though. I have a lot more respect for this woman now. Going through all she has (dealing with her mom's health and then having her OWN serious issues) and still showing she can jump with the best of them. She's my sentimental favourite this season. I love Shiz and Sasha and all, but if Ira took the gold at worlds, I'd be very happy for her.

I'm always happy when Irina wins because she is really, truly great!

I suspect Jenny is having trouble with her jumps. She is rather tall.

Johnney right behind Plushenko...I LOVE IT! Johnney, like Ilia or Kurt, just sums up everything I love about skating so I want him to do well.
