i disagree a little bit with the list. i think cheng fei will make it back in time for worlds, and i think wu liufang will make the team over deng linlin... if cheng is out, i think it'll be jiang yuyuan in her place.

VT - he, huang, cheng

UB - wu, huang, he

BB - wu, tan, sui

FX - cheng, tan, sui

@BIGFISH7831 is it really necessary to call him "the little yellow cunt?" as you can see in the video, there's a whole spectrum of people that are being cunts. bigot.

@skatefan9495 the 3t/2l was intended to be a 3/3 by nationals and worlds. i, too, think the changes made to the program by nationals were made to adjust for the pain she was in by then.

the 3toe/2loop at the top of the program is most interesting because it was what she had intended to be a 3/3 later on in the season. i personally liked this costume and this version of the choreography more than what she ended up doing at nationals and worlds later on that season.

it's really amazing to think of how many years she was really at the top of her game. not only did we watch her grow up, but we grew up with her. think of all the skaters that came and went... she skated her first senior nationals against yamaguchi, harding and kerrigan (all of whom have since ...

even if she was first to skate in this group, did they REALLY think anyone was gonna beat a skate like this that night? she would have gotten a buttload of 6.0s if this had been later in the group.

had she only skated later in the group instead of first, this would have gotten a buttload of 6.0s.

@eamiranda1981 there were only 2 spots for the US for the olympics... there's no way in hell this should have finished ahead of flatt or nagasu or even wagner. she technically only landed one triple cleanly. everything else was two-footed.

agreed that this should have won over baiul. in fact, i think chen should have been ahead of baiul too... agreed with the comment that she should have swapped titles with baiul for the 94 european title.

off topic but i like at the end who they single out the judges that screwed her... and clea...

@slytherinnyc or exactly the same as the choreography from her 1991 LP as a junior... to the exact same music.

it's too bad she lost the lutz, the flip and the loop more or less for the last few years of her Olympic eligible career. she improved dramatically artistically those years and her lines and edges looked infinitely better than in years past. this short program has a lot of potential, even in th...

as good as some of the things in this program were (decent spins, fast skating, pretty good spirals and steps), the jumps in this would get butchered in the new code.

@lixinxin an illusion

@diskplaying i agree with you on the long program that there was no way this was better than Slutskaya or Butyrskaya but I beg to differ about the short program. Tonia took a step in between her 3lutz into 2toe and landed a 3flip while Maria completely omitted her combination all together and la...

wow, this made mao asada's LP to fantasie impromptu look like a junior program.

considering the way sarah hughes was still skating at this time, i'd say you were robbed... this was a great program! how come you didn't compete any more after this?

@nondescriptnyc i'm sorry, but did you watch any of the other free skates from this event. this is by far not world title worthy or anything, but it was leagues ahead of any of the other women in this competition.

i think this was probably the most well choreographed and most interesting free program of her entire career. the music highlighted her strengths and suited her style extremely well. agreed very much with the long held spiral and despite the straight line entrances into the 3flip and 3loop, sh...

i agree that this program had the edge on kwan's artistically, but not by a very large margin. i think she also allowed michelle the chance to skate past her by doing only 6 triples to michelle's 7. in all respects, the one extra 3toe in michelle's program made the difference in the majority of...

@foresure88 Actually, Lu Chen won the 1997 Karl Schaffer Memorial which served as a secondary qualifier for the 1998 Olympic Games for those who didn't qualify in the traditional way by finishing top 24 in Lausanne the year before. The top 6 skaters from countries that didn't already qualify wer...

i really like her skills, but it's too bad she didn't quite pull much of it off... 1.5 to 2twist front (i think that's what she was trying) and 2.5 to front full... really cool. i really wish the chinese girls would lay off the tuck and pike double backs though.

i wish wu liufang hadn't gotten injured. i think she could have at least given he kexin a run for her money... though, with the difficulty level she has, she is always going to be leagues ahead of the rest still.

agreed. total shame on the fall especially cause she's one of the few that goes a different route and does some more interesting skills. huge arabian off the top... can't remember the last time i saw one of the chinese do one, in fact...

geez, i'm so sick of seeing tuck double backs and pike double backs.

this was great, but the version she did a few weeks before at one of the fluff comps (keri lotion classic, i think?) was even better. the jumps and spins seemed to all work even better there. classic beautiful skating regardless.

@13shifter: well, if you watched any of the vaults of places 4-8, you'll understand how this was 3rd. on a plus note though, her 2nd vault was gorgeous (albeit a little piked) and a little undermarked IMO... china is simply lacking in women that can do two big vaults (either they can do a DTY an...

@HoaMocLan89: hey, i would really like to have that song if you have it!
