Skate Canada Results
I have been completely away from the Internet and unable to watch any of Skate Canada:( But I will try to catch up soon. I am ITCHING to watch after seeing these results though! Here are the results: Ice Dance (standings after the Original...
Trophee Eric Bompard Cachemire: Good, Bad, Indifferent...and Ugly
The Good: Nobunari Oda's Chaplin free skate hit all the right notes for me. It didn't feel overdone. He also didn't overestimate himself - he admitted he did not have a quad last week and didn't push it, while most of the jumps he did land were great. The program was a departure from Oda's...
TEB Final Results: Ladies
The final final results - the ladies. Please look for an analysis of the competition early this week after I've been able to watch everything! Um...Yu-na Kim is just making it boring out there! She won the free skate by nearly 20 points over Mao Asada, already lengthening her ridiculous lead. ...
TEB Results: Ladies Short Program
Well, looks like once again, Yu-na Kim has built up a MASSIVE lead heading into a free skate. Cannot wait to see her program. Kim is trailed by MORE THAN 16 POINTS by Japan's Yukari Nakano. Placements 2 through 5 are all extremely close together, but the big news there may be USA's Alexe Gilles...

Looks like Rachael Flatt easily won Golden West, per Jennifer Kirk's True/Slant blog. And I am very excited about the short program, because: In the past, Flatt hasn’t been the most exciting skater, and while I respect her ability to skate cleanly under pressure, her performances have generally...
Golden West Recap
Jennifer Kirk blogs at True/Slant about the Golden West competition, which many Olympic contenders are competing in this weekend. In the pair division, it seems that Inoue and Baldwin got the win, although they'll need some more difficulty in order to be competitive this season. And new pair...
Asada's New Combo
AFP reports that Japan's Mao Asada will be attempting to put a triple toe loop on (one of?) her triple axels this season. Since we (for about the last season) have been at the point where it's becoming obvious that very little can beat World Champion Yu-na Kim, and two triple axels is about what it...
The Switch is on: Caroline Zhang Edition
Former world junior champ Caroline Zhang is changing skating coaches. She is moving from Li Mingzhu to Charlene Wong, who until recently, coached former US National champ Mirai Nagasu, who made the move over to Frank Carroll. Confused yet? If so, then that must mean all is right with figure...
