Ladies LP

Iam trying to figure out the times too. In Finland its 9 and with a time change 10 hours ahead, its going to be very late. Though since its Sunday tomorrow possible if i really want.
I just wish Joannie will get a medal of any colour. Its about time for a Canadian lady. :bow:

I don't wanna wish Yuna to fall down, but that is the only chance for Asada now. It's a pity. But I be happy for her if she wins just any medal.

That won't be enough. Yuna would have to fall at least 2-3times and Mao woluld have to be perfect, landing 2 3axels and a 3/3 with no downgrade. I don't think it's doable. Mao's 3/3 isn't consistant enough, even in her SP, it looked ur to me.
She's been having problems with her Lutz, Salcow..... If someone could skate clean, it would be Yuna and Joannie.

Trewyn, warmup group 3 should start at 18:00 in LA, which should be 3:00am CET (i.e. Belgium).

So that must be 4am for me, later than i was thinking. I had been thinking its when it would be finishing. Time zone differences for this

I'd like to know how Alissa does in the practice today. Might let us know whether or not to still have hope.

Practice can be a very bad predictor for competition. I remember when I used to compete (no major events or anything, just small ones when I was younger), there were days I'd have a practice and then compete. I actually competed better AFTER a bad practice. Or a bad warm-up. It was good luck for me to skate bad right before a competition.

I know lots of other skaters cannot have performances predicted by practice.

21 years since a medal has been won. That's almost as long as our contender has been alive! Definitely time!

I am pretty sure that if you keep your clock as it is now the third group will start at 2 am(CET). At 2 am you put your clock to 3 am and loose one hour....but who cares if you can sleep on sunday morning.

4am for me too. Going to sleep now, and hoping to get up for the final group ...
I was going to say next year is going to be better, and it is, but the OG are still across the Atlantic :-(

ITA! When my sister was working on doubles, she wouldn't land them until either her last practice before she competed or her warm-up at the competition. She would then go on to nail her program. The next practices after that, she couldn't land them to save her life. She's extremely competitive so the will to win seemed to spur her on to actually land them in competition but she for some reason (probably laziness!) didn't land them in practice!

It was weird for me. I could never land a triple salchow in practice. EVER. But in competition it was always flawless. I also would occasionally underrotate my triple loop in practice and do it again, flawlessly in competition (though never big events, I always got my events videotaped to analyze them).

Mind you I was never affected by pressure. I loved competing and never had any nerves. I was the kind of person who would laugh when I fell and then just go on to the next jump like nothing happened. Alissa isn't quite like that.

Here's shocking 3-3jump in Mao's sp

But she get 0.8 GOE.

Mathman · Mar 28, 2009

Can we please have a moratorium on these stupid doctored Korean video clips? :eek:

hwell:

Yu-na just gave the greatest ladies SP ever. :rock:

Be happy!

Is there any live stream outside the US and Canada?
(Just in case I'll manage to wake up at 4am for the last two groups)

Yes, it seems that CBC won't be showing ladies LP =X

screech · Mar 28, 2009

CBC will be airing the LP tomorrow at 8 local I think, which is weird. But at least they're re-airing other stuff right now!

:thumbsup: Or you could just ban him altogether so we never have to deal with him again.

Seriously, the fanbots were pretty much non-existent until jaejang2001 showed up. Just go away! You're ruining the experience for everyone!

The one jaejang2001 posted doesn't even count revolutions correctly. :rofl:

I just love how because Yu-Na's the best skater in the world, an entire nation thinks they're technical experts just because they have video editing softwrare.

There's really no other option with all the hockey on tonight though.

For those who are interested, I decided to compile ISU season FS scores for each ladies skater, average them, then add to the current Worlds SP score, to produce predicted standings after the FS tomorrow. Here's the top 16, by the numbers: (Sorry this table looks like crap in IE, looks good in Firefox though. Dang formatting...)

Code:

WrldSP FS-AVG PREDtot 1 Yu-Na KIM KOR 76.12 122.33 198.45 2 Joannie ROCHETTE CAN 67.90 119.56 187.46 3 Mao ASADA JPN 66.06 119.45 185.51 4 Carolina KOSTNER ITA 63.18 110.01 173.19 5 Miki ANDO JPN 64.12 108.34 172.46 6 Rachael FLATT USA 59.30 106.11 165.41 7 Fumie SUGURI JPN 58.40 105.75 164.15 8 Laura LEPISTÖ FIN 59.66 100.27 159.93 9 Alissa CZISNY USA 53.28 103.33 156.61 10 Susanna PÖYKIÖ FIN 57.12 96.18 153.30 11 Sarah MEIER SUI 58.36 94.21 152.57 12 Alena LEONOVA RUS 58.18 94.10 152.28 13 Cynthia PHANEUF CAN 53.14 94.09 147.23 14 Elene GEDEVANISHVILI GEO 58.82 80.30 139.12 15 Elena GLEBOVA EST 55.90 82.43 138.33 16 Candice DIDIER FRA 50.16 87.29 137.45

See, SP doesn't matter that much, LOL. Lepisto & Suguri meltdown + everyone else season average = 13 points for US. :agree:

(Yep, still not really likely though... sigh. But let's see how close the prediction is. )

Thanks! I hope something similar will be the final result!!

Me too, but with Cynthia in the top 10.

pokky_oc · Mar 28, 2009

Cynthia will probably make it! But I think the gold is set... ( Yu-Na Kim ) and the battle for silver will be bigger as it's either Mao or Rochette... I think Mao will probably win with 2 Triple Axel :laugh:

but you never know!!
