Skate Canada

[sunnyskate]

The Yankee Polka is a super hard dance and I really want to see it performed! I hope everyone skated it well.

Good Luck for the Original and Free Dances!!

Thanks for the links. I finally got it to work though nothing else works when I am on it.

[Melanie]

In a message from Sinead & John, they said they just want to go out and wow the crowd with their OD.

Faaanatastic attitude.
You GO guys!

[sunnyskate]

And that's what they should do! Go out and have fun because in the end, that's what matters most! The placements are certainly many cherries on the top though and good luck to them!

OD

No deductions.

A source at Mile One thinks he saw John put a hand down on one of the change of positions/holds on a difficult lift.

They overtook Canadians Lefebvre & Markov.

I'm really shocked that Russians Romanovskaya & Grachev have improved that much!

Could it possibly be worse than that?

[sunnyskate]

Well...I suppose it all depends on your outlook. Yes, first isn't usually the ideal spot to be skating, but on the other hand, it can have it's plusses--not having to keep muscles warm, feet not cramping in skates or having to take them off and put them back on... The best part about skating first is that you can relax for the rest of the competition. I guess we'll just have to see. Good luck to S&J!
