yay for rena and john, ap, melissa and denis, and timothy! but who the heck is the guy in 1st? never ever heard of him. poor jennifer she is just having a really rough time so far this season.
At least Emanuel and Jennifer were able to pull up a bit after their long programs...and not a bad showing for Nicholas Young in (I think) one of his first senior GP events. That's the highest placement I've seen for Pascal and Denis at an international competition, too.
I don't think anybody would have predicted the final result of the ladies' event, though!
I don't know what mistakes Jennifer made in this competition, but the main reason why she's gotten hammered so far under COP is because of her underrotated triples (under COP, the judges have only given her credit for attempting/landing doubles). It could also explain why she wasn't able to place higher overall despite moving up seven spots after the LP. Ironically enough, Jennifer was interviewed during the Sandra Bezic/COP segment on CBC Newsworld a few weeks ago and she said one of the reasons why she's staying eligible this year is because she thought COP would help her.
she is just having a really rough time so far this season.
