Elvis reviewed the women's competition at Torino.
He agreed with the Gold medal winner, but said that you can't fall on your butt twice & win the silver medal.
He had Fumie Suguri in second & Joannie Rochette in third place.
Joannie's skating was faster & stronger.
He had Irina Slutskaya in fourth.
He discussed the new judging system & said that although the line created by the spiral sequences is fine there is less emphasis on riskier elements.
He also reviewed Jeff Buttle's skate as well.
He felt that Jeff should be landing the triple axle perfectly every time. (He put his hand down on his axle).
He applauded the chinese pairs team that had that horrible fall in their program & continued on with their program.
All in all it was interesting to hear his comments, and I totally agree that Sasha Cohen didn't deserve the silver medal.
