2007 World Figure Skating Championships

I can´t say anything because I did not see him yet, but perhaps 10 points is too much???
I´ll tell you my opinion when I see him , or the two skate, not live of course!

Welll..I didn't notice that Marie is sooo thin but I did notice her legs. And I was comparing them with those of Albena. Albena has such a beautiful body and perfect legs, beautifully sculpted Marie seemed a little bit thin now that you mention

Well, when CBC interviewed Marie & Patrice, it was quite noticeable that she had lost weight because even her face looked too thin. Perhaps she had a flu or something before Worlds. I don't know, but I think she looked much healthier at 4CC.
And yes, Albena really has a perfect figure. She's very slim, but not excessively so!

I am watching pairs now....Huh!! I do like Anabelle Langlois and Cody Hay!! Again!! They are a good couple I think...hope they'll stick together. In the SP she almost broke one of his finger because at one lift they were not having the right position

You are an Anabelle & Cody fan, Alex? They are a good team. They have nice elements, but they could really do with more chemistry. For me, they just don't have the spark of the other Canadian Pairs.

I'm sorry for Stephane, I would like to know what happend with him, why he lost his confidence.... I'm sorry about it.

he has 1 point deduction, maybe he had problems with one of the elements I hope he'll skate better. Yes, 10 points isn't a small difference, but nothing's over till it's over

Damn, this was their last competition and it was supposed to be just brillinat for them
Aaargghh!!

It's so sad... although they hadn't any chance for a medal, I was hoping to see them doing their best, skate perfectly
It's a very bad way to end your career...

I don't know maybe...
As for chemistry, well Cody has enough for two. Have you seen him, he was smiling during the entire performance. And he is just so relaxed and confident. He is throwing and catching Anabelle with one hand and in this time he is smiling.I mean, come on, this is great! It makes you enjoy watching them!!

Our commentator said that they are a newly made pair...so maybe more chemistry will come later.
I know what you mean Lana about chemistry but I think there is no lack of chemistry in this couple. Maybe it's not "the spark" but I still like them....so far

viktoria, about what you said about costumes.. Just look at Brian! He is doing the SAME short dance for second or third year with his good old suit. And everybody loved him, so I suppose that Albena and Max's old costumes won't matter.

I am so sorry for Masha and Lesha... they are so sweet together,,, but they didn't have enough luck... I hope that Lesha is going to be fine.

And the Polish... It was so sad! When I saw the lady crying... I was going to cry too! I hope that her partner has not been injured too bad.

And today I saw TOO many falls! Are they going to continue?! Maybe the competition has truly started, because everybody is so anxious about becoming a world champion!

Elfaria, do you mean Marius and Dorota? I don't watch the competition live, I follow the results in Internet, and I can't see them!
Btw, they're from Poland

That Stephane is 6Th...O.K. perhaps that is not a surprise.. Usually skaters that don´t go along with everything that Isu wants, get punished! He did shows, did not go to Euros, and so on...and so on!!!!

Jess and Bryce... 2.00 deduction? Awww... That's soooooo disappointing.

Well...Bryce fall in the Triple salchow and Jess in a throw

Eh...Polish couple
Yes, I felt really bad seeing her like that. It is very sad and in their case too, it's not a good way to end your career

Yes, it's true. I noticed it as well. Too bad!! I hope the next couples will skate clean and confident!

Jess never falls on throws. Weird. Sounds like they were just "off" today.

Yes, they were a bit "off". Bryce didn't fall on the salchow all the year!

Lana wrote:

Yes...but other than this they were very beautiful and sweet. I really got emotional when I saw them....

Maybe they are little unsecure after the accident. They seem to have had a little accident in practice as well. Their skates touched...so they were very cautious the entire program. Or at least it seemed that way...

Lana...don't be sad! They will do better next time. They improve so fast and they are very talented!!

I absolutely love Stephane but IMHO his scores are waaaay too high for today's performance. He should feel lucky.

Yes, I know. Sometimes that just happens...

I still think that he made a mistake not going in Warsaw For me, he shlould have to compete there
I'm so sorry for Marius and Dorota, I know they'll be very disappointed...

Their performance was still that emotional, Alex? I'm still really excited to see them. It's wonderful to hear that they were so good other than the mistakes.

Oh god, another accident in practice? That probably just threw them off. And of course, this was the program that the spin accident happened on... I suppose it makes sense that they were a bit cautious. I really hope that they keep this program for next year. I adore it and wish that we could have seen them skate it perfectly...

Thank you, Alex! You made me feel a lot better.

Jess & Bryce will be 7th so it's not bad

I want them to keep at least one of their programs because i love them both and we've seen them only at 3 competitions! I want to see it again

True, true...It is a beautiful program . It would be nice to see them skate it perfectly
Yet, wouldn't you be happy if they'd create smth new? A beautiful new program. Maybe even more beautiful because they will skate it perfectly
I love "new" programs. The idea of having smth new..to create it step by step from small ideas

HELP! Who became world champion? The official page of the event
http://www.isufs.org/results/wc2007/SEG006.HTM isn't refreshing anymore and I can't understand who is the champion It stopped refreshing after Aliona and Robin. Did they remain first?

I hope Alexei will recover soon and till then just enjoy Tokyo. Now you have time to do it

sorry to say that but this Worlds were not supposed to be perfect. They didn't have enough strengh to go through it - I mean physically. And I think - it's good they withdrew (though I hate not seing them today...) They place they were likely to get would be a disaster.

Well...you do have a point. Although, I always thought that "running" away is not a good solution - not applicable in this case, I'm just answering to your argument
It can happen to make so many mistakes. Too bad it happend now

I'm very sorry for the Siudeks,it was so sad to see her crying And Masha&Lesha's retirement...the pairs' competition is too sad But Xue and Hongbo were brilliant!Congrats for them,it was a pleasure to watch their free program!
