2017 GP Skate Canada Ladies SP

[KwanIsALegend]

Only 1 skater from Group 1 today is able to skate in Group 2 tomorrow. Wow. Who would have thought that!

wait what?

Is Ashley doing her LP tomorrow?

 

[anyanka]

So far, no one has yelled "IT'S CANADAAAA!" a la Carol Lane saying "it's Russia!" at Rostelecom ... yet.

 

[whatif]

There is just no reason for a 3 point PCS gap between Pogo and Osmond. Except of course that this event is you know where. Until today, their PB SP PCS was around 35. And they both skate similarly in almost all PCS areas. I would give slightly higher mark in CH to Osmond but that would be offset by much higher mark to Pogo in TR.

Otherwise, text-book jumps from Osmond as usual. But also as usual telegraphed across the universe. And this is a good programme for her. I dare to say she could challenge Medvedeva and Zagitova for the lead after SP at the Olympics if she re-arrange her jumps to increase TES. Well done.

 

[andromache]

URs allllll over the place. The technical panel appears to be on top of their game, both here and at Rostelecom.

 

[anyanka]

I really worry Pogo is gonna have another one of those long programs tomorrow...

I honestly hope not. I love Kaetlyn but I'd like Pogo to skate well and make a solid case for the Russian ladies' team.

 

[Shayuki]

Probably, but she's also last. Does it really matter that much?

Nah, I think it's alright. She'll probably finish last anyway. Just a nitpick for the sake of nitpicking - Bad habit.

 

[Mista Ekko]

The Australian judge really didn't like Ashley

 

[Roast Toast]

Damn, Judge 6's PCS scores are :eeking:

 

[BackSpiral]

Ashley got called on her triple toe and triple loop. Both <.

sory,there is. Pogo was little off tonight, Osmond was on.Like very much bothe of them

 

[anyanka]

Is anyone else excited to see Anna AND Kaetlyn BOTH do "Black Swan" / "Swan Lake" tomorrow?? Please let them go back-to-back!!

 

[Violet Bliss]

Everyone was really off.

Osmond was too overscored.

Come on, look at the top 6! Bravo all! Kaetlyn and Anna, especially, them the rightly scored leaders.

 

[Ross74]

Katelyn was awesome! Gooo, Courtney!

 

[kevinVchicago]

there's no way you can convince me that Austman wasn't overscored heavily.

The poor dear lady is way way way last. Lol
I don't think it makes any difference.

 

[GGFan]

Chen and Wagner were overscored imo
[emoji847]

Not sure about Karen but I'm side eyeing Ashley's SS and Transitions marks.

 

[TontoK]

I was an Osmond skeptic.

Now, I'm not. That was very very good.

Looking forward to the FP, and I rarely watch ladies any more.

 

[BackSpiral]

Osmond was wonderful. I thought the score was very well-deserved. They could have gone higher but they didn't.

 

[gravy]

Oh c'mon guys. I know people are looking for anything to grasp onto about how Canada is also cheating after Carol's moronic comments at Rostelecom (I am too to be honest), but give credit where credit is due. Osmond's short was fantastic and the score was entirely appropriate.

 

[draqq]

Also, Anna lost quite a bit on her last two spins. She was wobbly finding the camel position after the fly and then her layback didn't have the usual Bielmann nor usual speed. Both were graded a Level 3 and didn't get very good GOE, so she lost about 2 points overall.

 

[Roast Toast]

Osmond was wonderful. I thought the score was very well-deserved. They could have gone higher but they didn't.

Especially after this disaster of an event. Kaetlyn skated with an air of confidence that was in sharp contrast with the rest of the field.
