Challenge Cup 2013 (21-24 Feb)

[Ziggy]

I think that nowadays a clean Kostner might get higher PCS than a clean Kim/Asada, even with her jumps being easier.

Or maybe that's just my wishful thinking. :P

[NMURA]

It's all Western European panel. Even ex-Soviet Union countries are not included. I suppose Kostner would be treated like Osmond at Canadian Nationals.

Caro's pristine clean SP:

Great! Everything was beautiful. The quality of execution was just to die for.

She made some changes in the program, putting more details. Lovely Caro.

[FlattFan]

Caro won the long program. TES = 55.28, PCS = 70.81
http://kunstrijden.knsb.nl/2012-2013..._FS_Scores.pdf

The goods:
3Lz gets +GOE. 3Lz appears to be stable for her.
She went for 3F-3T, 3T is URed.
Both 3Sals are back, with +GOE.
Another 70+ PCS for the LP. She's destined for this kind of PCS at world.
And landed 5 clean triples out of a legitimate attempted 7 triples LP.

The bads:
She's popping two jumps. The 2A and the 3Lo. Both are good jumps for her, so maybe she's just not feeling it.
Her step is called level 3 here, so another 1.2 lost.

If we switch the 2A and 3Lo from yesterday to this score, it would be 126.09 - 1.10 + 4.63 - .35 + 6.85 = 136.12
This is assuming she would UR her 3F-3T and not get level 4 steps and no 3 jumps combo. Huge score potential if she can skate clean.

There is no sound with the videos????

They are having troubles with uploading videos, there is just Carolina's sp vid with sound on made by a fan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVZ5QumnSpk
Anyway they say they will fix the sound later

[LRK]

No Brian videos yet? Preferably with sound.

[Mrs. P]

Alex Johnson is in second behind Brian Joubert! Yeah!

[gmyers]

55/70 is awful for tech score. Prefer some balance not any 55/70 maybe 60 or 65.

[luckyguy]

Alex Johnson is in second behind Brian Joubert! Yeah!

It is his first international competition after Finlandia Trophy in October 2009!
