Several observations in figure skating Grand Prix series of heads in the latter case, before the final 4-5 December in Tokyo:
* At dinner on Sunday night in Lake Placid, five journalists to predict the figure skating at the Winter Olympics in 2010, declared himself ready for the risks of the Olympic medals.
I decided to come with our take of the total by awarding five points for the prediction of gold, three silver, one for bronze.
Our team was Julia and Macura Jere Longman The New York Times, Christine Brennan and Kelly Whiteside USA Today and me. FYI: A group of us have done in the past, and although the forecasts have been lost in the mists of history, it should be noted, Longman was only choose one of the last panel, Tara Lipinski) 1998, the Olympic champion.
The quotation is forecast in 2010, I will cast the votes by the dots and squares. For example, dancing on ice, was Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto of the United States 17 (2-2-1), the 17 points, 2 hot, 2 seconds, and third means.
Bradley had a couple of performances like the frost disaster since the second ending in 2007 at the U.S. championships. One of them was at the Paris Grand Prix this season in which he 10 of 12 in the free skate, he opened an incredibly successful quad jump. Bradley was the 8th Place there.
Bradley, 26, who on Tuesday, the edge of the abyss "Skate America" headed back to botch his first two jumps and eighth in the short program. Then he gathered them second place in the long program - and overall - of the permanent ice skating in the gloriously bizarre interpretation of a program called `` Chamber Music,''which also extracts Albinoni, Mozart and others.
Bradley's results were far from the Lysacek winner - but also far from where he was.
