Copy Cubase Dongle To Another Memory Stick

2010 Olympics - Men

In men's short program, I did not see so many good performances. Of course, there have been some disappointments ... But overall, men were totally on fire.

Hey ... same skater North Korea, Song Choi Ri, who was the first skater to execute the short program has managed to surprise me. Of course, he did not finish the other competitors ... But he made all his triple jumps without problems. He spent a hair to make free, finishing 25th at 0.62 pts Vaughn Chipeur.

Speaking of Vaughn Chipeur ... I hope it bites his fingers in the Canadian federation. He has frankly not sure. We should have known at Skate Canada, and do not be lulled by his strong performance at Nationals. Kevin Reynolds probably would not necessarily finished in the top 10, but he surely would have done better than the 23rd place Chipeur. Hopefully Chipeur leave his place at Reynolds for the World .... it still deserves serious consideration ..

The short program has been hard for some big names ... Tomas Verner, Brian Joubert and Jeremy Abbott. For Verner, he seems to have something that was "broken" during this final season. Okay, it's not the perfect example of the consistency ... but still. Pity for Verner who had nice programs this season. You'd think he is already way to leave any room for Michal Brezina ....
My heart bled at the short program ... Jeremy Abbott After a good half of the season and Nationals to be thrown, it's sad that his Olympics started on a bad note.

Joubert ... Joubert ... Is there just me who wanted to give him a nice slap behind the head? If only he could stop doing the verbal diarrhea on the Canadian skaters and / or without quad skaters and just concentrate on delivering the goods when it's time! Fine to complaining about the virtual absence of the quad or its pseudo little point value, it is still necessary that you perform well the famous quad! When was the last time you passed the quad my Brian? .. You remember it ... me either! Since when we give bonus points for a fall on a quad? Stop dreaming and talking bad work ... Record at 25, he should stop acting in teen ... This short sentence should be your motto of life now: "Shut up and skate ! "

What unfortunate incident that disturbed the performance Nobunari Oda in the free program. After performing a jump, then stopped Oda he seemed annoyed by something ... I immediately thought of a wound, but no ... a lace decided to give up the ghost at this point. While Oda spoke with the referee, we could see the sorry state of his shoes. Come, Mr. Morozov ... How does your left you go on the ice skater with laces like ... : S

Johnny Weir can leave Vancouver head high ... He has performed well! We could not believe that for the 1st half of the season ... but there is evidence that we should not always rely on previous results.

Patrick Chan ... or how hype can hurt!. I know I know ... Chan has not had an easy 1st half of season: flu, injury, pass the Cup of Russia, difficult exit at Skate Canada, separation from his coach Don Laws to days of Nationals, and promise of a Quad finally reversed its decision ... I know it's a lot. By cons, there was a big, very big job from Skate Canada for Chan lather as serious contender for the gold medal (no less) ... Even Joannie Rochette has not been much consideration ... In short, it became very jaded! Forget quad, triple Axel Chan is also very rough ...
During this season, Chan also caught the same disease Joubert .. Talking too few competitors scratching in passing. Patrick paid attention .. the bashing never paid ... You too, think that saying: "Shut up and skate ! "

I will not dwell too much on Stephane Lambiel. It was a joy to see him, although I have still not digested his "retirement" announcement a few weeks before Skate Canada 2008, event in which he was to participate and I attended! : P Although we understand the absence of triple Axels its programs .. we see that it may no longer be the same as before, because even the quads have struggled to pass. Still ... La Traviata is a gem of program! Daisuke Takahashi

literally conquered me with his Hip-Hop Swan Lake, there are 2 seasons. Her short program, Eye, also dazzled me. What force, what interpretation! Definitely my favorite short program this season. His free program on La Strada was also sweet ... Too bad the attempt had failed quad (plus a falls, the quad has been downgraded to a triple). CONGRATULATIONS to the bronze medal, the first Olympic medal won by a Japanese skater!

Plushenko ... Plushenko ... Plushenko ... When he made his return to the Russian Cup, I was extremely afraid that the judges it facilitates the way to the gold medal at the Olympics. What a joy to see that 0.55 points separated him from Evan Lysacek Daisuke Takahashi and 0.60 after the short program! I'm not a fan, but really not a fan of his programs I found pompous, and no sweating sophestiqué arrogrance the dirt in which the great Russian champion bathe for several years. BUT, you have to give that side jumps, it provides! It provides so much that he committed the sin of over-reliance on Quad ... to make just 1 in his free program. It provides so much and relied on his quad, he allowed himself to do a triple Axel approximate (-GOE on this jump! Ouch !)... It provides so much and relied on his quad, he was allowed to do spins and step sequences of level 3 ... It provides so much and relied on his quad, it has not seemed to study his score sheets this season with her coach and her choreographer ...
short .. you understand ... Plushenko was Plushenko ... He thought supreme master, he underestimated its competitors, he did the minimum and it has been wronged! AH! To believe that Plushenko has not watched the 2008 World ... he should know that NEVER underestimate your opponent and do not bet everything on the quad.

Which brings me to my most beautiful moment of the Games ... Never, ever, would I have imagined that the great Plushenko would fight, just as ever ever, it would be Evan Lysacek have accomplished this feat. It was the dream, the fantasy for me! In this Feb. 18, my fantasy-skating number 1 done! (HAHAHA) Her short program was so masterful, his triple Axel was probably one of the best he could do ... And what about the free program ... Oh, I so no word! My big heart fan was more than happy! Lysacek on the podium would have been more than satisfactory ... seen with the gold medal around his neck is the icing on the cake! : D

course .. the great Plushenko ... arrogant and pompous .. made his little campaign of "Poor me, I did the quad and I have just the silver medal." Sorry, sorry .. Even Vladimir Putin has mixed it in the media and Ms. Plushenko # 2 also ... Instead of crying in the newspapers, there is one thing that the Russian Federation could have done and it would have been taken more seriously than you see in the media whining: make a protest! But no .. we preferred to play the great Greek tragedy ...
Plushenko ... Plushy for me ... here is an adage that you should apply, especially if you are serious to Stoch Games in 2014: "Shut up and skate ! " Hmm .. okay, to skate, you skate very well, so just for you, it will be: "Shut up , study The Cop and check your protocols! : D

And finally .... I would say to Evan Lysacek, lets make the critics ... February 18, 2010, you became a legend! You beat the great Plushenko, while having the " curse "of the world champion on the head!

Final result

Last Hour - Death of mother Joannie Rochette

The Canadian Olympic Committee announced the mother of Joannie Rochette, Theresa, died suddenly in a hospital in Vancouver tonight.

Joannie's parents had arrived in Vancouver this Saturday to attend the competition among the ladies.

Joannie's father told him the news early this morning. The Canadian Olympic Committee has stated that for now, Joannie does not change its plans and still intends to compete. However, the president of the Canadian figure skating federation, Benoit Lavoie, advised him to take the day to think about it.

Ms. Therese Rochette was aged 55.

My deepest sympathy to Joanne and her family at this difficult ...

Olympics 2010 - Couples

Finally, a break in the skating and giving a Saturday night ... We can take this opportunity to recharge the batteries a bit (say the men's competition was tough on energy haha)

First, a quick summary of couples ...

Many couples have given good performances in the short program, which took place Sunday, February 14. I think particularly in the top 10 overall in the short program, especially the top 5 which was exceptional in my opinion. I never thought that Shen / Zhao couples have been so close to them ..... them who were so dominant during the season. But that's what makes the competition interesting ... How

forget Amanda Evora / Mark Ladwig who lived their Olympic dream thoroughly by offering their best performance? 10th Olympic Games is a great result for them, hoping they will still be on this momentum to the World ... Question of closing the beak to John Baldwin!

I will not forget the free program by Vanessa James / Yannick Bonheur ... despite jumps that were ripped, their doors are superb and especially the outputs are likely to cut breath (the output of the second focused elsewhere ... phew!).

Annabelle Langlois / Cody Hay have also offered a fine performance in the short program. A balm for the season 2008/2009 and missed doubts that followed. Their free skate was less smoothly, but they scored the most satisfied.

Maria Mukhortova / Maxim Trankov have had some glitches during the short, with a fall on a jump Trankov coast to coast. I expected a look of death from Mukhortova ... but no, she has displayed a slight smile AND she even comforted Trankov ... WOW!

This unfortunate fall on the 3 Salchow Jessica Dube have shattered the hopes of podium Dube / Davison. It was a shame, because the program was fine. The positive is that the rest of the program has not necessarily suffered due to this fall. Unfortunately, this was not repeated in the free program when Jessica fell again on 3 Salchow ... and there, the program has suffered. And say that Zhang / Zhang had opened the door a little ... such a shame, because a performance at the 2010 Canadian championship they might have traced back to 4th place.

Dan Zhang / Hao Zhang failed to build on their beautiful property in the short program score. Errors here and there away have a chance to make the podium. Yuko Kavaguti / Alexander Smirnov experienced the nightmare in the free skate, after a short program tasty.

And what about the nightmare of Aliona Savchenko / Robin Szolkowy for the free program .... They were at 0.70 point Shen / Zhao after the short. Such a shame for this program which was great (remember their performance at Skate Canada 2009).

Pang Qing / Tong Jian have probably delivered the program free of their lives and were the only ones who own the top 5. All the technical elements were perfect .. and what about the interpretation of that was in the Pang your ... also a chance because I thought Tong lacked a little flavor. Their performance won them to the free program.

And what about Xue Shen / Hongbo Zhao ... Beautiful couple. In the short program, I was simply delighted. The free program was gone altogether to be superb too ... to an unusual error on their part raised a surprised them a little. However, their lead over Pang / Tong after the short program, which were about 5 points, probably saved.

Xue Shen / Hongbo Zhao, who are already legends in China, Chinese are the first pair to win Olympic gold. We can say that their coach, Yao Bin, has kept its promise to create a Chinese power in figure skating ... Who would have thought that the gentleman who was laughing at him as he will compete as a couple in the early 80's would have had 2 pairs medal at the Olympics 2010! Final result
