.............................................. Thanks, Jimmer, I caught the results by mistake already. Yay for Canada, but poor Dordi!

........................... I felt a bit sorry for her too but the announcers were unhappy about some of the things that Dordi had apparently done in the past, so I think they were rather enjoying Canada's big score.

LOL - One of the things they mentioned was that at one point in an earlier match the Canadians were having a long discussion over a difficult throw and Dordi asked them if they were sending out for a pizza!

That's Dordi alright. She's got quite a dry sense of humour. That was a great Olympic start for Hughes. She'll be quite a contender, and not that far down the road either. Quite the go-getter!

Hey all, I am on the West Coast and trying to keep up with the figure skating results. I see Emily moved into first place, I have been hoping she would do well. Was her program nice?? Are they saying how many more points the top gals could/would recieve that would take her down? Thanks for any info you have.

.............................................. Dipo, she had one fall and a few minor wobbles. The big guns are still coming up. But it will be nice for Hughes to relish that "1" next to her name until then.

Thanks lumbele, I was wondering. . . . . . I am glad she did well. I would really like Kimmie to blow the socks off everyone. For some reason, I am not that into Sasha, I feel like everyone is trying to sell me on her, and don't get me wrong I do see that she skates beautifully, but something just doesn't click for me. Oh and I just really enjoy the woman/girl from Turkey, can't wait to see her tonight!! LOL, oh well, we shall see how it goes. Thanks again!!

I don't care for Sasha even though she skates beautifully, something about her face makes me want to smack it . I'll root for Kimmie Meissner, though.

........................................... Gee, Dipo, I thought I was alone on that. Cohen, to me, seems quite cold. Yes, a great skater, but somehow she just doesn't ring true to me as a person either. The Canadian girl bumped Hughes off first - for now. Poor Italian girl struggling with skating in front of the hometown crowd.

Oh bummer!! I was really hoping that the girl from Italy would do well, not necessarily a medal. LOL, Lumbele, I have thought I was alone, I haven't been able to put my finger on what it is that bothers me, I was trying to figure it out the other day, but something just doesn't work for me. I kind of want Slutskaya to win gold, kimmie silver or gold and sasha can have bronze. LOL I am bad!!! OH and I really get a kick out of the girl from Georgia, wouldn't that be something if she did really well.

..................... Count me in on the "not really into Sasha" crowd. I've always gotten the vibe from her that she's all about the fame her skating will bring her, rather than skating for the love of the sport (like Michelle does). Here's hoping that Kimmie knocks the socks off the crowd tonight. She had such a blast in her short. That's what its all about. I hope she continues to have a blast tonight. Let her have a wonderful experience this Olympics, cause during the next four years, the media will be all over her pressuring her to be the Next Big One.

Yeah, my heart is with Slutskaya, too. I remember her when she first came onto the scene as a young teen with the baby fat still attached. What a jumper and always that great, genuine smile! Well, too many mistakes to make a difference by the Georgian girl, but give her a few years to pull it all together...........

................... I'm in the "not really into Sasha" crowd, too. I love seeing Kimmie skate. She looks like she's loving it! I think the Rochette girl skated beautifully. She said her goal was to be in the top 10, and she's really happy to be at least seventh place. With the Georgia girl just finished, Rochette is up to sixth place.
