Well, I'm impressed.

With everything on the line, Kimmie Meissner had enough in her free skate to claim the ladies senior championship to go with last year's world title.

Emily Hughes, third a year ago, placed second and Alissa Czisny put together the performance of her life to finish third.

For more on the ladies, check my post on SportsLink.

The ladies are through two-thirds of the competitors, and Danielle Kahle, from Moorpark, Calif., leads with the short program leaders yet to take the ice.

If you would like to know how the competition has gone so far, click onto SportsLink for more commentary. I think I have an idea of what's going on by now.

I hope.
