uhmm...the jury is been severe with Jessica and Bryce.....and generous with Aliona e Robin, they lost the "unisono" 2time...
Petra, don't kill me!!
Dance: I am not able to appreciate the dance without Albie e Max....always I make comparison with them, and the others don't
support the comparison... The passion that A&M put in their performance came in our heart "arrogant", impossible to stop it!! Always was a wandeful feeling.
Oh yes they this evening was graceful and tecnically very good but they don't capture me...
On the contrary, hight level for the man! Lambiel made combo 4T3T! Great the components, but Daisuke performs very well( Withaut quadruplo....Lysacek notes it..... great performance also for Evan! Bravo also Van der Perren, combo 4T3T then 3A e 3LZ....

Now I go sliping because I am writing in...Latin...but=sed....!!!

Steph won the Men competition

Congrats!!!

Apollo, thanks for the photos!!!!

Do you have more news from Torino, Piemontesina? Oh, you are so glad that you can see a competition like this! Here in Germany, in the near from where I live, at the moment there are only shows, no competitions ... And somehow I miss watching competitions... (No need to say I miss Albie and Max in competitions, I think ...) So, I´m waiting for your news and report !

Oh yes, I am lucky!! In 2005 Europeans, in 2006 Olympic Games, now F.G.P..
I lived 4 days in full immersion at Palavela! The competition's emotion it's peerless, it's been wanderful!!
The quality was excellent, I am only for Kimmie Meissner ( she is a very good girl)....
I have many autographs...All the athletes are kind, especially Johnny Weir, Khokhlova-Novitsky, Isabelle Delobel , Aljona Robin and Ingo Steuer ( he was spectacular during Aljona and Robin performance, he was non able to be quite, he was doing the same movement ....incredible...great!!) , Jessica and Brice, Lysacek, Smirnov, Pang- Tong...and also Domnina and Shabalin !
Stefan made an autograph to me with my name!! And.......Benjamin Agosto gave me the flowers of his second place!!!
But....believe me...I should change whole for watching Albie e Max happy
together on the ice ( better in competition )
I am dreaming?
Something , deep, tell me that nothing it's impossible and I hope strongly... strongly ,with all my heart!!

To the first: Congrats!!!
To the second: I hope with the deepest inside of my heart that you´re not dreaming and that it will become real!!! Me too hopes to see them once again on the ice together, even if it would only be in shows (O.k.., competitions would be better )! I think it won´t be today and not tomorrow, but perhaps one day ... I still hope that when the trial is over, when Max has got a "good" and acceptable sentence, that then he will change his mind, can concentrate on his sport again and will return to the ice, together with Albie ... Hope that it´s not me who is dreaming now ...
