2015 Worlds Ladies Short Program March 26

Patiently waiting for video's to jumpamatron. Except Liza's 3a which is copyrighted I'm quite certain.
 
The standings still can change. The difference betwwen 10th and 2rd is nine points and 2 points between 10th and 5th.
 
Who would've thought the final group (this year) is:

Tuktamysheva
Radionova
Those two were certainly expected, but..
Miyahara
Hongo
Possiblities

And then Murakami and Li, who nobody would've expected even a couple months ago!

I pretty much placed the Russians and then the Japanese on top. Very happy for Zijun to have gotten in there above the Americans.
 
Man, I wonder how sky_fly20 would've reacted this season since her favorite skater Gracie bombed left, right, and center.

We know how she would have reacted. She would have dumped Gold like she does any skater who she hypes and then doesn't live up to expectations (you know, after we all had our fair share of getting our jabs in).

Even more satisfying is that Tuktamysheva - who skyfly always jeered about her weight - essentially blew the roof off the competition.
 
Sam's slow motion clip of Satoko's jump is enough. Satoko pre rotates her 3F almost a rotation on toe pick, and today it's not much different. I'd say the TES for her is under deserved.

And seriously I am not a big fan of Kanako at all, but she deserves to be higher than Satoko TODAY.

Ever since I saw that slow-mo, I think Satoko is overscored on her TES. AAnd Amano is supposedly strict on everyone?:rolleye:
 
Whenever things get heated, I start to miss skyfly. Whenever she didn't like your favorite skater, she'd just straight up be like, "_______ is awful. Peace. Done." and I'd know where we stand.

I know, right. Posters have been taking swipes at each other since the second warm up group- usually it doesn't start until after the final scores are up. I don't know what's going on.
 
And before tonight many thought Liza had a bad draw being first in the final flight...turned out it either doesn't matter or it rather helped!
 
I want ashley to pull a Mao at Sochi and skate lights out in the free skate. Prove she belongs in that group.

Gracie's constantly inflated scores are infuriating. I like gracie, I think she has a tremendous gift but she doesn't deliver and looking pretty and knowing you have it in you isn't the same as laying it down when it counts. No way did she deserve to be higher than Ashley.
 
At this rate Tukt will break all the records and snatch up the next 3 World Gold Medals and the 2018 Olympic Gold medal...

Well I have always thought they were among the most under marked out of the bunch so not really :P
...but then I have always thought at least an AMerican should be in the mix. umm....
 
A slow motion clip doesn't prove any rigging by the Japanese Federation.
And you may not like Satoko's jumps, but everything else she does, she does exceptionally well.
It's systematic already. Note that I don't agree with Satoko's PCS most of the time, I think she is underscore in PCS. But TES should be truthful and it's not here and many competitions.
 
I'm so sad for Ashley right now. All those expectations and hopes of finally ending the medal drought for US ladies...it's just really, really sad. She's made a habit of coming back in the FS, but barring total disaster from other skaters, she's off the podium.

I hope the disaster of the US ladies tonight means the US men skate well.

I know it is sad but I have to say that the US ladies tonight were disappointing to say the least. They didn't come here to fight, there just wasn't the sort of oomph. Look at Pogo, despite the injury, despite the fall and the pain, she fought through it. I didn't see any of that in the US ladies and Wagner just sort of lost the spark right after the pop on the combo. That clearly hit her on the PE / IN and she was less energetic than usual. Honestly, only Lena Radio and Tuks and certainly Kanako brought on their A game to the best they can tonight and the deserved their high scores. So did Satoko although I think her TES are way too high (I am ok if it is ~34) while her PCS should at least be 2 points higher with her excellent bladework, steps and musicality.
