Europeans and U.S. Nationals Updates

Kiira Korpi is in first place after the ladies short program at Europeans, with 63.50. She and Ksenia Makarova (second with 60.35) each landed a triple toe-triple toe combo. Sarah Meier is in third with 58.56, Viktoria Helgesson fourth with 54.70, Elene Gedevanishvile fifth with 53.68, and in the perhaps the biggest surprise of the ladies short, Carolina Kostner is in sixth with 53.17 after falling on an underrotated triple toe-triple toe AND a triple loop. Alena Leonova is thirteenth with 48.40.
