my thoughts start with WHERE DID EMAN COME FROM? wow. that was the biggest shocker EVER. it's cool he beat evgeni and all, but i dont think this will be a repeat for eman at all. he typically chokes... but maybe that's just me. yay for sasha and fumie! very cool. im happy that tanith and ben made the podium because that's just stellar for an american dance team!
i was hoping kevin could pull up and squeak out the bronze
I'm SO thrilled for Emanuel. We've known for a long time that he has "the goods" to compete at the top but couldn't get past the "mental" hurdle of his nerves. Let's hope this win infuses him with confidence so we can see more consistency from him. With Eman winning GP and Jeff's NHK victory and other stellar results this season, this is going to be the most exciting men's event at Canadian's since the early 90's Kurt/Elvis showdowns!!! Can't wait!!
