Meiyi LI / Bo JIANG got no points for their lift and death spiral. Does anyone know why? I watched their program on Youtube, and it seemed clean, but I'm no expert on the rules. Their double twist and throw triple loop were strong, though...

I can see why they godt their pairs spin invalidated (free foot down).

That required lutz for the junior ladies this year looks like it's going to be the critical separator of podium finishers from also-rans. Kudos to the Russian Polinas, who landed 2 of only 4 fully-rotated, non-edge called lutzes in the SP. Siraj and Kato the other two, but with more - GOE.

In Men's SP, what happened to Nam Nguyen and Emmanuel Savary? Thought they would be closer to the front of the pack, haven't had chance to see protocols or videos and I can see ES had 2 falls, but this doesn't seem characteristic. :eek:

I don't know Savary at all but it seems both he and Nguyen are two very young skaters making their international debuts. So much has to be experienced and learned. Nam's video is up though he was last to skate - his TES BV (26.20)is not high and he botched the first jump, got a >> (thus the low BV) and fell on a spin, all very uncharacteristic. Hopefully he will get his nerves in good order for LP.

Interesting that both Chinese skaters received much higher PCS than the field whereas 2nd place Hino has the highest TES but pretty low PCS.

I have expected Zijun to do well after seeing video of her LP from a show. Beautiful and impressive.

Her head wasn't lower than her skating knee in the death spiral (new rule), so that's probably why the death spiral was invalidated. The lift had a funky landing, but I don't know exactly what rule it violated. It's a shame. That was actually a nice program, and they skated pretty well except for some small mistakes from sloppiness. Probably it's nervousness from competing internationally the first time. I've never heard of them before.

Yu/Jin look a lot more polished and improved from last year. I think they can take silver if they skate well in the FS.

Not surprising at all. Little He Zhang is a star in the making. He's really got it all. Amazing maturity and style for someone his age. I thought he was in a class of his own presentation-wise. Liu has also got great skating skills and moves pretty well.

I am very impress with the Chinese skaters in all disciplines competed today. Looks like they are trying to take Jr's by storm. I really impress by how artistic the Men were. Really paying attention to the music and playing with the character of it also.

shine and enlight, what I find interesting is that after Lu Chen, China's skaters, Men and Pairs, were disadvantaged in the performance aspect, and it took years for Shen/Zhao to excell in artistry while their senior Men have not advanced in that area. Now suddenly we have Han Yan, Zijun Li, Jin Boyang and so many junior Men who have great skating skills and flair which are internationally noticed. What a leap. So far Chinese skaters have won 3 SP in this JGP. This bodes very well for the future of skating in and from China, which can only be good for the sport in general. Can you imagine skaters having Rock Star experriences in China like in Korea and Japan? Such huge market.

Yup, all you have to do is look to Li Na and what she's already done for tennis after winning the French Open in June!

Even though China has a huge population, so far they are drawing skating talents basically from one provinve, equivalent to a rather small nation. Their potential is unimaginably great if the sport becomes popular and attracts talents from the general population. I think with China, it's often a matter of if the government makes it a goal. E.g. They made incredible and shocking advance in diving, from having only 3 pools in the country to world dominence in a few years. This phenomenom has repeated in a number of sports, now including various expensive Western winter sports. However, I think these days the government is letting the natural development happen, other than financing training and taking care of virtually all aspects of their athletes' careers.

With more challenges, the sport's level will be lifted.

Nyguyen was called on his toe axle he does not have a true triple toe , ...... so double downgrade

That's actually up for debate, though it is evident he will be called << internationally.

Domestically the callers have studied and broken it down until it's not able to be broken down anymore, and while it is done in a similar style of a toe axel and the take off is not textbook, it is not under-rotated. However, even if the callers were aware internationally and broke it down that much (never would happen), it is poor technique and he should be dinged in GOE regardless.

They were not too brilliant to let it go domestically knowing it would never get called internationally. They've done the kid a disservice by doing that. We always tell the kids to never leave a doubt and he more than leaves doubt about that rotation with that technique.

Oh and what I am most surprised with Nam's marks is that his transitions were so high, I'd have easily dropped them down a point or more - apparently dancing on 2 feet is acceptable these days as long as a few spread eagles are thrown in (especially when it is evident he has the ability for turns, etc as demonstrated by his footwork). It really irks me that such talent is being packaged so poorly and handled so terribly. Such a shame.

Kosigina/Moroshkin are only in 2nd placed, as they only got 1 out of 6 key points correct (nice that they write this in the protocols). Ukrainian Nosula/Kholoniuk sits in 1st. Their previous highest placement on the JGP's is a 5th place.

I really liked Kosigina/Moroshkin! She grew up from last season and has lovely lines but they always mess up the compulsories part! With so much depth in the Russian Ice dance they need to get their act together.

You mean like McLeod let Mira Leung get away with it too? Don't worry, it will amuse you to know that McLeod's already compared Nam to Kim, Kwan and Chan. The famous ones :)D).

Congratulations to Canadian pairs Purdy/Marinaro on the bronze medal. Why do Poulin/Servant always screw up at major competitions. They are a very good team but always succumb to stupid mistakes.
