Well this is the day we have all been waiting for, who will win the ladies event? Will it be Cohen? Can she hold it together or will the experience of Slutskya be too much for her? What about Arakawa, could she possibly win? Too many questions with no real answers.
From all of the journalists that I spoke to before the free, not one of them had their money on Sasha, most favored Slutskya and the odd one fancied Arakawa. It was apparent that the ones that thought Arakawa would win were the journalists who had seen several practice sessions, it appears that she is the most consistent.
No speed skating today so I had a trip around the venues with the video camera and filmed some of the behind the scenes action in the IBC.
It was going to be a long program tonight and we were after some good viewing figures. Its been the best ever for Eurosport and the figure skating has rated the highest.
The event started slowly and really only came to life in the final group. I am sure you all saw what happened and hope that you enjoyed the evening.
