Is her name pronounced Moany or Monet?

FYI, Mone's name is pronounced like Monet.

What happened to Isabeau? Not like her to just not show up.

She was ill and had to withdraw apparently at the last minute. They showed her briefly backstage during one of the earlier groups of skaters. She didn't “just not show up”.

Why was Yelim's ss invalid?

not anymore

Ugh Isabeau could’ve won this She’s the most polished of the girls here. Get well soon!

 

[labgoat]

Feel better Isabeau, hope Amber & Bradie don't get sick.
Alternates keep training just in case.

Congratulations to a fantastic podium and a great group rounding out the top 10.

Haein's english is so good!!

I love how they were about to give the microphone to the translator but she grabbed it like "hey, I can do this!"

 

[yelyoh]

Yikes Bradie sixth with four skaters not here who could beat her at this rate. Top ten at Worlds seems an weird prospect. Pressure on Isabeau. Hope she recovers soon.

It sounds prettier that way. That's how I always said it.

 

[TallyT]

Ok, well, a silver still isn’t bad. And considering Haein was apparently getting sent hate by “fans” before this event this is a BIG triumph for her!

Living well is the best revenge - George Herbert.

Happy when I get to see some pretty spirals...emphasis on jumps scoring has nearly crowded them out.

I am too. And choreo slide can almost incite a standing ovation all on its own. That's kind of my point. The skaters and choreographers have treated the choreo sequence as an afterthought and they are not taking advantage of what they could be. The dancers do incredible, creative ones. These are mostly entirely forgettable noise that skaters are paying no attention to.

Depends on the judges panel. This was a shockingly strict panel, which hurt her as a chronic under rotator. At worlds I imagine they'll be the normal lenient ones, which will improve her chances.

For what?

 

[Horsefeathers]

Bradie's got to get those URs and Qs under control. For someone who's been competing at the senior level for so long, these are kind of juniorish mistakes, despite her time off.

 

[labgoat]

@Ichatdelune - Your girls did it! Both Haein & Yelim were incredible.
SO happy for you!

Yelim's Ina Bauer in the SP is such a sublime moment, the free not quite as spectacular but the potential is there

Well I appreciate the tech panel's honesty. It helps the girls prepare better for Worlds.

From your lips..er..fingertips...

I need to say a huge congratulations to Sara-Maude Dupuis. I seriously doubt anybody had her picked for the top 10 here. And the top Canadian to boot.

 

[yelyoh]

Goodnight all. "See" you tomorrow.
