Miki Ando

Today was the pretty exciting free programm for ladies at the world championships figure skating. The favourite Kim Yu-Na did not skate as brilliantly as yesterday and finsished in the results as third. Mao Asada skated brilliant and reached the second place, while yesterday she became fifth. The new world champion is also from Japan, it's Miki Ando!! She did a great job and was emotionally very touched after hearing she was the new world champion. It was very emotional moving to see this, she deserved this victory! So congratulations Miki Ando!!

Kim Yu-Na

Today the short programm for ladies at the world championships figure skating at Tokyo was being held. The result shows us that five of the first six skaters got a personal best! The level of skating was so high today! There was only one brilliant European skater, Kostner (Italy), which showed that Europe isn't very outstanding in figure skating anymore. Asia conquers this sport too. There were 2 Japanese women (Ando & Asada) in the top of the results. Asia is conquering this sport too, this couldn't be much clear after the skating of 16 year old Kim Yu-Na from South-Korea. This race was never shown before, I'm almost sure no one ever got this high score. She seems to be from another planet, technically so very good and her performence was just perfect. Tomorrow will be the final, everyone should watch it!

Come back - picture

Well I this picture was on the blog of my very good friend Jing Yi. It's so beautiful I just had to put it on my blog too. There is nothing much to be explained...the picture tells you the story. Always believe in the
meeting/return of your loved one.

Xue Shen / Hongbo Zhao

The first place in the world championships figure skating after the free proframm went to Xue Shen and Hongbo Zhao. Their skating was truelly magnificent. While watching this Chinese pair it seems like time stops for a moment, you just watch pure beauty.
The second place went to the other Chinese pair (Pang/Tong) while the bronze medal went to Germany's Savchenko/Szolkowy.
Wow... Shen/Zhao.... probably the best pair I ever saw!

Wold Championships Figure skating (Tokyo)

Today was the first day of the Figure skating world championships. The results of the short programm for pairs was: On the third place: Qing Pang/Jian Tong (China), second place goes to Savchenko/Szolkowy (Germany, ). Both pairs showed a great short programm! There was only one pair that was better, and I have to say that looking at their skating was just breathtaking. It was soooo beautiful! The first place went to Xue Shen/Hongbo Zhao (China).
