Great skate

Step seq 2? What was she missing? Boo.

Judges had a bad day today. Theyre barely giving +1 for highly proficient executions.

Girl skates like a seasoned senior.

24 global timezones by hour intervals cant be that unreasonable of an expectation.

Um, that's actually how it is, with a few exceptions (like for example China which has one time zone for the whole country, or India, which uses a half-hour offset). Daylight savings time is where countries really differ though, with many not observing it at all.

 

[Mathematician]

level 1? guys I dont have a check list with me but that cant be level 1.

 

[AlexBreeze]

The levels today

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Levels are not leveling today, damn.

 

[EdgeCall]

Chrustalniy never stops, do they?

 

[icewhite]

Oof, so far every single one of them is too fast for their music.
It makes me dizzy.
They need to hold their positions and edges, listen to the music and change the tempo sometimes.
Or they need to pick high energy music with an appropriate tempo.

Theres like 40 times zones and theyre different from northern to southern hemisphere. Find a graphic and you'll realize its not nearly as neat as you probably imagine it to be. Its pretty hilarious. Theres a clean 24 hours division you might see but nobody actually uses it, in practice its a total mess.

Does Morozova have any ultra c?

Edit. I think I saw something about a quad loop in training?

 

[Mathematician]

Titova already out of podium. Pretty devastating. I dont know if I have much hope left with this kind of treatment. Shes gonna have to skate like prime Yuna to even have a chance at comparable scoring.

4Lo, but no competition attempts yet

As talented as Marg. is, first in PCS is obscene. Morozova should be first, maybe Titova. (I think Titova is being penalized for the program itself, and for not doing her 3A)

She basically is a senior. Early bloomer. Hope she enjoys riding the wave for now - doubt she'll have the same success when she actually skates seniors.

 

[Mathematician]

Who actually listens to this? Seriously.

 

[Mathematician]

Yo my stream wont stop geeking is it just me?

 

[icewhite]

Who actually listens to this? Seriously.

Me. I absolutely love that album. But I think jazzy stuff is always very difficult to use for skating and very few have ever done it well.
And none of the girls skating to Kovacs bring out any of the darkness, depth and triumph that lies in these songs.

 

[Mathematician]

Kadyrova is a diamond in the rough, probably my favourite skate today.

 

[Skating91]

Great job she might go ahead of Titova
