Who landed quads & who missed them?

[Tammi]

They could, but at times the flights are so unbalanced that I bet they seed them by when the applications are received. First to A, second to B & so forth.

I've helped out with a few local events and those times, names were simply drawn for the groups. "Seeding" (group placements based on previous years standing) is typically only done at qualifying events for Intermediates-Seniors.

Go Keegan!

Keegan ended up fifth overall... guess he had a rough go of the LP... which I'm going to take as a good thing as it's a new choreographer so it's going to be a challenge.

The same poster has a number of other videos up. There were all taken with an iPhone, so the size of the skaters is rather small, but you can at least see the program layout.

While Keegan's free skate was not as strong as his short program performance, he still sold the program, as far as I'm concerned, and is beloved by the fans @ Liberty! We had a chance to speak to his mom after the men's final, and she did say that Keegan wasn't feeling so good yesterday morning. He never gave up on the performance, and ended strongly.

Harrison Choate and Ashley Cain had wonderful debuts as seniors!!!!

Thanks Doris!!!!! His SP totally gives off a Scott Hamilton vibe... wow... (though Scott's go to swing song was In the Mood).


And I see they still haven't fixed the warning message on the glass.

Congrats to Max for coming on strong & winning the free skate!

When Ski used to film the skaters, after the first trip to Liberty, we used to bring red tape and fix it ourselves. However, little kids take it down almost as fast as you can put it up.

Yup! We couldn't help but notice that. We brought along a friend who got to see her first live skating comp, and she laughed her head off when she saw that.

Who landed quads & who missed them?

Mroz tried 4Loop: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmYHwTVGEaA

Miner tried one ; came close; fully rotated but fell.

Any videos of Ashley Cain, Joelle Forte and Yasmin Siraj? After watching Cesario in the youtube clips, I'm rather underwhelmed. Her SP doesn't showcase her presence or ice coverage and is rather slow. Her FS looks unpolished even though she had it last year. Not saying she didn't do well, just underwhelmed compared to reports and scores. Interesting to hear she has a 3L-3L. I also don't know how Ashley Cain can do a 3L-3F . Glad to hear Yasmin's jumping is coming back and Joelle Forte won't give into age! I want to see Forte's 3T-3T and 3Lz-3T.

Liberty has their results up (no protocols that I found, though)

Thanks, Doris.

Some of the links have full protocols -- all the seniors do -- and some just have the results sheet. And the long program for junior ladies C is still missing.

Some of the junior ladies' short programs were held in Rink 2 and then the long programs in Rink 1, but since those were (the only) combined events I guess they wanted to put all the results for both programs in one place even if the actual skating was in two different places.
