And they just mentioned that Dana withdrew because of patellar tendonitis.

They showed Tommy clear 18-4 on the webcast.

Sources tell me that Jillian and Nikki made 14'. *shrug*

They showed Lanaro miss 18-4

Therefore you should all be watching the webcast!

And I think I hear Fraley's favorite Native American musical group in the background!

They are talking about the women.

Ikuko 13-6
Jillian 14-0
(then they cut away because Russ went and cleared 18-4)

Nikki must not have made 14-0 because she is not in anymore. Jillian is up.

I don't know why the announcer said Dragila is doubtful to ever return, she already has returned!

Jillian bails on her jump. The announcer speculate that it is too cold down there.

That might have been her first attempt at 14-8?

Buller misses his 1st at 18-8

Skipper has some height on 18-8 but comes down on it.

Buller misses his 2nd but they didn't show it.


I like how they have the athletes wearing the Team USA uniforms.

Great interview with Jillian Schwartz at the end there :)

She said she was just trying out a new longer run and she had only had one practice on it prior to this meet.
