Alissa should have won here but they had to give Rochette the Gold since this was a prelude to the Olympics. That's why they gave Rochette such inflated scores. Alissa was robbed of her Gold here because of the politics. If she had won Gold she would have gone on to the Olympics.
Never before did I see this! Wow, I was just so thrilled to see her skating to this powerful program. I love this music!
This is one of the most superb skates in history.
It's too bad she didn't she didn't skate like this at Nationals. This was great!
Great ruby costume.
Anyway, Alissa got Gold next year.

I don't think she would have gone to Vancouver after her performances at nationals later that season... even if she had won gold here!
Just like they gave Ro-shit the bronze at the Olympics, when that bronze obviously won by Nigasu
