why are those live results link charts not updated ?
why are those live results link charts not updated ?
They are apparently updated after each group, but there's someone live-tweeting and she reports that Amodio leads with 82.48, followed by Joubert about four points back and then Abbott. Amodio was cleanish, Joubert made mistakes, Abbott fell twice. Judging seems to be a bit lax.
Wondering if you can give a link to the person live-tweeting? Thank you!

Pretty much shows everyone's tweets regarding the event
Protocols are up, and I believe a unicorn has been spotted in the SP: namely Joubert's long-lost 4S, last seen in the 2006-7 season (IIRC). I am impressed that he put it out there and rotated it; maybe next time he can actually land it w/o a stepout or whatever it was. His PCS, however, are uninspiring.
Amodio also did a 4S, and also made a mistake. Not sure what it was.
The person tweeting from the rink is Janet.
Thanks so much!
Observation and questions from Result Details and twitter reports, focusing on the top 4:
Joubert seems to have done poorly on both TES and PCS. Had Abbott not received a < on his 4T, he would have beat Joubert even with his 2 falls. Judges were now really down on Joubert's TR (6.08) and Contesti beat him in PCS.
Both Joubert and Amodio landed their quads poorly, receiving negative GOEs.
Amodio's PCS isworthty. Not only did he beat Joubert in every component but he received 8.25
for his SS even though his TR is just 6.75. Abbott's SS is 8.58, just 0.33 above Amodio's whereas Joubert received 7.75, both of which I consider pretty in line with what they usually show us. But Amodio?!
I just noticed protocols are up so will look at it for more details.
Actually, Joubert did fairly well on TES - he had messy landings (I think one was a stepout) which hurt his GOEs, but he got both quads rotated and got really good levels on non-jump elements. His bigger problem was the PCS, and have you seen his SP? Let's just say I was not surprised. At this point in his career I think he is mainly skating for himself and to have fun, which the Twitter updates suggest that he did.Originally Posted by SkateFiguring
Abbott got good GOEs on his clean elements and fantastic PCS.

I believe Abbott deserves his PCS but two falls in the SP this close to Worlds does not bode well. He won his one GP event by coming third in both SP and LP but such favorable line-up of others' failing is not to be counted on at Worlds. I hope he does well in LP where he can leap over the others at this event if he lands his jumps. His only problem now is all about landing jumps.
I said Joubert did poorly in PCS because he used to be scored quite high even without much transition and even when he failed at his jumps and received low TES. Negative GOE on both his quad and his jump combo is poor for him because the big jumps have always been his bread and butter and ticket to the podium. I understand it has not been easy for him and keeping up with the young guns is tough. But it's still Amodio's PCS over Joubert's across the board and the SS score in particular that surprise me.

Going for two quads is something Joubert has never done in an SP, and while neither jumping pass was clean, I am very impressed that he even tried that second quad; he hasn't done a 4S in competition in years, and if he's ever to get it consistent, there will likely be some mistakes along the way. He didn't pop it and he got it rotated, so that's good for him. Getting good levels also bodes well for him. If you look at his past PCS, this is a bit lower than normal but not surprising considering he is skating what looks more like an EX and has been struggling for a while now. Amodio has beaten him in PCS more than once, and the judges have already shown that they will look kindly upon Florent if he skates cleanish.
I wonder if Abbott is fully healed?
p.s. I will remind, once again, that TR is but one of the five PCS marks.

hmmmm
Amodio's PCS is
I just noticed protocols are up so will look at it for more details.
I'm guessing testing for a possible PCS inflation for Amodio in Nice for the 2012 Worlds
I'm still iffng Joubert is still competing as every season he competes he is damaging it more, he has passed his prime
and he could turn into a male Fumie Suguri
Here it is
Czisny - 59.82

Do I have this right? Abbott landed nothing but a 3Lz+3T and got 77 points?
Looks like Jeremy made a valiant attempt at a 4T in the SP (< and fall) which likely contributed to the fall on the 3A. He can:
1) continue to work on the 4T in the SP and hope he gets it by Worlds
2) go back to the safe SP layout
MM: he got credit for a rotated 3A (fall) and a 70% 4T (fall) as well.

^ I think that is the key to why both Jeremy and Alissa came to this event. The person tweeting on the ladies said that Alissa messed up her triple-triple attempt, but otherwise did well. It looks like Alissa and Jeremy are trying it out in order to make a decission about what they should go for at worlds.
