Meissner jumps to silver
Sunday, October 29th, 2006One night after a sublime performance at Skate America that brought the house down and vaulted her into first place, Japanese teen figure skating sensation Mao Asada proved beatable.
Minutes after landing a triple axel in warm-ups, Asada crashed back to earth last night when it really counted, while Bel Air’s Kimmie Meissner rose to the occasion.
As a result, Meissner, the reigning world champion, took the silver medal at the first stop on the Grand Prix circuit, finishing almost 15 points behind winner Miki Ando of Japan. Asada, who seemed to lose focus after botching the triple axel in the early moments of her long program, finished third.
Meissner third after short program
Saturday, October 28th, 2006For the first time in seven months, Kimmie Meissner experienced the adrenaline rush of competition and renewed attention of the figure skating world.
The Bel Air teenager and reigning world champion opened her Grand Prix season last night at Skate America, with a third-place finish in the short program, the first of two performances. She earned a score of 58.82, less than two points below her personal best.
“It’s always nice to get the first one under your belt,” said Meissner, 17, moments after her performance. “It felt so great to be back in front of the crowd. I felt really calm going into it,” she said.
