2019 Four Continents Ladies Short Program

Noooo poor Alaine

 

[3dsushi]

Maybe Alaine should call it a day. It's not like she's getting any better. Kinda sad.

 

[bobbob]

A disaster, not exactly surprising though. The Canadian on the Technical panel is trying to save with a level 4 on spins and steps that no one else got, for really low quality spins. But she can only do so much.

 

[Fluture]

Oh, dear. This doesn't sound like it is going well at all.

No, unfortunately... She started off really well with a beautiful 2A and I was ready to cheer but then she popped her combo. 2lz-2t. And then popped the loop too...

 

[Step Sequence4]

Kaetlyn, we need you...

Kaetlyn, we need you...

More like Gabby. She's the only one that can save at least two spots.

Oh, my. I just saw the score. Poor thing.

A 3-3 or a 3-2 is required, right?

45... ouch

 

[Roo87]

better here than at the worlds.

 

[Fluture]

A 3-3 or a 3-2 is required, right?

45... ouch

I think so. And the solo jump has to be a triple too...

 

[ruffledgrouse]

That's... a dress.

 

[bobbob]

Judges really saved Alaine. How did she get a TES of 20? She didn't do a combo or solo jump. He spins were terrible.

 

[frida80]

Awwww....

 

[Ichatdelune]

The skating gods are displeased with the announcer and are punishing the skaters...

 

[Colonel Green]

She is guaranteed a place at worlds right?

Yes, she's been announced already. There are two spots up for grabs. The probable order is:

1) Gabrielle, if she says she wants to go.
2) Aurora, if she can get the minimums on the weekend.
3) Veronik, if one of the above two things fails to happen.
4) Alicia, if neither Gabby nor Aurora can go and Alicia's injury doesn't prevent her (I don't know what her status is).
...
100) Kaetlyn agrees to come back at the last minute after Skate Canada buys her a house.

 

[viennaskater]

Well she saved it but that was a 'nothing' piece of music.

 

[frida80]

Tom still has on his USA jacket....

 

[readernick]

I really like Leung. She has interesting music and a cool style. But, she really needs to work on her SS. She appeared really slow.

She got all level 4s - 15 points for spins and steps
