Another Bundle.

=> sasha's headed back to hardcore training to prep for 2010 = awsome.
that means that there are more contenders! woot woot!!
i'm sure most of us are sick of mao sweeping through all these competitions with cheated jumps and unclean programs but still comehow managing to come up on top.
really, she has such a big head compared to the other skaters.
back to sasha.
the only thing now though that i'm just a bit quivery about is her usual "not being able to skate two clean programs".
she really mustn't let the pressure get to her. i know it's one of those things that are easy to say but hard to do. no matter how you look at it though; she has the silver lining, been in at least 2 movies, and designs her own costumes.
thats more than what any girl can ask for.
lucks and health to sasha! and remember girlie, you can do it. we've seen a good long and we've seen a good short. just use your ness to smash the two together. =)

=> preaubert beats joubert at french masters. WOW. one of the princes of the quad get's mega stung by the bumble bee!
and then of course, with the ego that brian has, *drumroll* (wait for it, wait for it) he goes and blames it on his blades.
now don't take me wrong, i love brian. brilliant skater with technique and theatrics, drop dead adorable smile, and a doggie named blade is the whole package. but he just thinks too highly of his skills.
don't blame him for it though, i mean if i had mad skills like he did, i would rub it in people's faces too probably.

=> skating should be infamous for the injuries.

shabalin injures his miniscus and then gets appendicitis then gets his other knee operated on all last year. he's back on the ice though now and they say they're good to go.
not too sure if thats good or bad news for tessa and scott. there's more people to compete against, so the better the win. but then there's more people to compete against.

ms langlois has a bionic reconstructed foot.
or so she says. the docs say that its a fracture. ;P
hurt in july, they may not be able to compete in GPs.
so hopefully they'll be 100% back by nationals? or should we give jess and bryce back their crowns.

stephane's saying too that he may or may not be ready for GPs. or at least for skate canada, which means no GPF.
he totally wants to, but a skater's still gotta listen to his own body.

healths to all the boys and girls who are balancing on blades screwed onto a boot.
