2015-16 Grand Prix Final Ladies SP

I'm wondering if Gracie will be on the podium at Worlds even when the US Fed is willing to hand her the gold on a platter.
 
I know this sounds mean but Gracie has as much a chance of landing on the World podium this year as her sister Carly....in other words, slim and none. Gracie has the raw talent but she can't control her nerves and psyches her self out in the short and skates to redeem herself in the long when it is too late. Such a waste
 
Gracie always so close to the boards with her jumps. And not sure why Frank insists keeping the flip in when she really hasn't done it clean all season. Even at TEB it was a lip. Also, my prediction might be right. I said Medvedeva would win, with Rad in 2nd and Miyahara in third.

Yes, Gold has the potential for greatness but can never hold it together when it truly matters.
 
Gracie, do the loop instead of the flip! Mao, same instead of the lutz (if allowed--rules are confusing to me); if not, the toe. Satoko--nothing you can do about unfairly low PCS. Elena--gutsy skate, what can I say? Ashley, gotta hit that combo or it all falls apart. Evgenia--deserves first place. Next World champ?
 
Two russians on top, japanese in the middle and then americans at the bottom. :laugh: FS is going to be exciting.
 
I just can't really get into Evgenia's programs, all 3 jumping passes and 2 spins in the second half, feels very unbalanced

and like come on? 9s for skating skills, let's not go there
 
She really should eat a bit more, that I can't disagree with.

You do know they consider body shaming of skinny people as destructive as any kind. Some consider it bullying. My friend is super tiny and she eats more than about anyone I know. She gets really upset when people tell her to eat. Just so you know.

Okay lets see if Frank is as great a coach as people say he is. Gracie has now twice this season done a jump in the SP that gained a big fat 0 so will he finally open his eyes and see the flip is costing her? First SA and now here.
 
Satoko's "e" call cost her 2nd, but I think the tech specialist was also generous to her on her 3-3 rotation.

How the heck can any judge have given Medvedeva's 3L a -2 or even a 0?! :shocked:
 
Wow! What the next lottery numbers going to be?

Something that adds up 666. Iluminati confirmed! :laugh:

No really, that wasn't that difficult, you have to know the ladies, their strenghts and weakneses and mainly, THEIR CONSISTENCY, YOU HEAR ME MAO AND GRACIE?
Also, their common mistakes (ehm ehm, Ashley?) and previous experience helps to guees. But once they suprise, everything is a rollercoaster.
 
OY!!!!! I just saw the protocol. And Mao UR both her flip and loop. If she rotated both fully and got at least 0 GOE on it, and got a 3Lz with 0 GOE on it....she would have broken the world record with 80.03.
