Unfortunately, Colleen, for P/I it was necessary to look at Nebelhorn, Salt Lake, and compare to the other Canadians looking for 3rd at Salt Lake, SC and TEB. Despite the pay-for-use policy on SkateBuzz this year, their coverage is worse, not better. For the Senior event, I could not find P/I anywhere in the archive. I had to do a little digging to find and watch the other 3. And for a fee, I would have expected someone, maybe PJ and an expert or guests, to at least moderate the Junior and Senior events. Instead we have bad quality video, and archives that are messed up. The Meng's program only has 44 seconds. I/P are not to be found. I watched the Seniors in the archive, and the Juniors (except for Mengs) live with some re-watching from the archive. They have no business charging for SkateBuzz.
My study of season results would suggest that, although one cannot really compare across competitions, the general trend seems to be upwards for I/P. The report card is very positive, and higher than their scores in Salt Lake. G/P in TEB and SC received very similar marks across the competitions, and more than marginally lower than I/P at Challenge. Given how close I/P and G/P were in Salt Lake, I think it is reasonable to deduct it will be a fight for 3rd this year. (Or at least it should be a fight for 3rd this year.) And no surprise they are miles ahead of the rest at this point.
