Czisny led after the Short Program with an elegant and technical performance to The Mask of Zorro. However, the U.S. Champion struggled with some jumps in the lyrical Free Program Dr. Zhivago. She stepped out of her triple Lutz and a triple loop, flip and toeloop were downgraded by the Technical Panel. Czisny scored highly for her difficult spins that were all graded a level four. The American received 91.02 points for her Free Skating and was ranked sixth in this segment but overall held on to first place at 151.40 points. "I love coming to this competition", Czisny commented. 'My short was good, but my long was just OK. I'll look at the protocol and see what I have to work on."

Musical Coaches
With the Olympics coming up in 2010, skaters are making coaching changes to get a competitive edge.

I can understand how a different approach may be beneficial but I imagine it must be a very difficult decision, The risk of moving to someone who has a different approach to skating is quite high with only 9 months until the olympics.

Mirai Nagasu the 2008 U.S. figure skating champion announced she will now train with Frank Carroll, coach of reigning men's world champion Evan Lysacek. Nagasu had worked with a team of coaches, with Charlene Wong having the main duties, since October 2006.

Caroline Zhang is already familiar with her new coach. Caroline announced she is ending her four-year partnership with Li Mingzhu and will now train with Charlene Wong. Wong most recently coached Mirai Nagasu, Zhang's close friend and main rival.

Reigning two-time US pairs figure skating champions Keauna McLaughlin and Rockne Brubaker will switch coaches to work with John Nicks ahead of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
