Dipo, Emmanuel is male Canadian skater with a world of unrealized potential as Scotty hamilton calls it. When he is on , he is wonderful but when he is in major competitions he is rarely on and screws up royally :-(:-(

I asm typing not watching but I heard a few oh nos from the CBC broadcasters - she messed up the first two jumps - but then did a beautiful job after that

well you know I watch Olympic Ice (a really funny program on USA that only deals with skating) and they have been sort of setting it up that maybe Sasha has some sort of injury that might be problematic. Something about a sore groin injury. Guess that will be the story if she doesn't do well.

Oh dear. Poor Sasha. I did wish for Kimmie to beat her. But hate to see a meltdown.

FSW folks are saying she had a "deer in the headlights" look on her face.

The CBC broadcaster (Barb Underhill) thinks that Sasha has an injury that they have been keeping quiet as her left knee is wrapped and she has not practiced in the practice sessions - plus she was icing her knee after the short.

Technically, I should have said one huge fall and smaller fall (not on her butt, on 2 hands and 2 feet) She did skate beautifully after that.

I was wondering what "they" thought the top score in points would be for this skate. Is it thought that a really good skate would win more than 120 points? This new scoring system makes it hard for me to figure out what is going on. Has anyone heard what the highest score is that has been awarded for free skate before the olympics?

the japanese woman is doing beautifully!! To think she had wanted to retire for awhile a few years ago!! no bad lines

the performance of the night they are calling it! - an old program that won her gold two years ago at worlds they said


ETA since there are TWO japanese women in the final flight , I should say that we are talking about Shizuka - no triple triple BTW in her program

Oh my, Japan's Arakawa just did the most beautiful, graceful, near-perfect performance. It was my favorite so far. She has crazy flexibility, too!

thanks you guys for helping me to feel like I am watching. I have really enjoyed the previous skates by the Japanese gils, glad to hear they are doing well. And isn't Fumie the one that Scott Hamilton always raves about?

Wow, I can't wait to see all this tonight. I guess it's not fair, but I really didn't want to see Sasha Cohen win a gold and Michelle Kwan go off into the sunset without one. I've always gotten this air of entitlement from Cohen, like Kwan should step out of the way and Cohen be the American Queen of Skating for the past few years.

New personal best - third highest free skate score under the new system they are saying, Dipo - her score was 125.32 for a total of 191.34

and BTW we are talking about Shizuka ARAKAWA not Fumie - Fumie is skating right now though and doing an amazing job!!

I have to admit, GAL, that none of the Canadian skating fans I know really expected Sasha to be on the podium. She really is known as an Emmaneul Sandu skater up here ie one who allows messes up in the big competitons.

(I am not a big skating fan but I know lots of people who go to worlds etc)

Fumie is so pretty! She is doing an excellent program too, not quite as artistic as Shizuka's, but beautiful in its own right. I like her two-toned purple outfit, too.

Goddess, that is it . . . .I was thinking the other day she seemed to have a sense of entitlement, just thought I was nuts.
