ladies' skating results

[jaina]

Using a completely neutral icon and a cut for Olympic spoilers:

Okay, haven't seen any of the performances, but yay. Overall, I'm satisfied. Sasha didn't win. Neither did Irina, but now she has a silver and a bronze, just like Michelle. (Next Olympics, Sasha can try for her bronze. Ha.) All reports say Arakawa skated beautifully, and I'm really looking forward to seeing her program. Woot.

ETA: Ha! This picture really says it all-- Shizuka's all "YAAAAAAY!" and Irina and Sasha are like "Can we go now please?"

Perhaps, but she was tumbling out of the triples even during the practice session before the last six. That suggests to me that it was probably something more physical. Probably minor, but enough to really put her off her game.
