Very Late Commentary on Worlds
Ack, I’m late! Pardon the very late post on World. I’ve been moving house from Morocco back to British Columbia so it’s been wild around here and Internet access has been spotty.
I was chuffed with how Canadians performed in Sweden. I may be wishful thinking, but I believe that if Joanne Rochette would have put in two clean programs she too would have been on the podium.
It’s great to see our Canadian skaters mature and succeed. In every discipline, the skaters’ emphasis on performance made the difference. The truth is, everyone at the top can do the tricks. But not everyone can skate with Jeff Buttle’s passion or Virtue and Moir’s chemistry. Figure skating is magic when elements and artistry come together.
It’s all looking very promising for 2010!
