Looking at the last few years, cutoff for top ten is usually around 190… so Maddie would need a 120+. Certainly within her range with a good skate

The way they’re calling edges, may be slightly lower even… which is good they’re getting serious about calling cheated jump

So close, but so far… looks like it will be 11th
Unfortunately popping that opening lutz was too much. Very good skate though!

Yep. She basically needed 125 which is what she would have got if she had landed even one of her lotses. She switched the last lutz to a triple toe which lost her a couple points because the triple toe wasn't done very well, which is frustrating because she's been doing well with it. And she has such a great opening Lutz combo but as soon as I saw her in the warm up I knew she's going to double it.

Good grief the overscoring of Levito 
This judging of Americans this week has been egregious.

I get that there's disagreement with the scoring at Worlds regarding certain countries, but this is the Canadian skating thread. How Isabeau does shouldn't matter here since she's American.Good grief the overscoring of Levito

Solid effort by Maddie, in other years that would have been enough for the top ten, but here too many people skated too well for that. I'm sure she'll be frustrated by how close it ended up being.
Alicia & Paul got saved from having to go to China (or Marie-Jade and Romain doing it) by two unexpected RD disasters in the penultimate group.

Am I allowed to come here to scream? I don't dare say anything in the competition thread and all the gloating that's going on there means I am not going to read it either.
Levito is a beautiful skater, except when she is taking off for jumps, but her GOE on the jumps should not having been so similar to Sakamoto's. Thankfully Mona Chibe was clean enough that they struggled to take marks off her and they weren't able to massage the scores enough to get Levito into her place. How was Wakaba Higuchi behind both Glenn and Levito?

Actually they got saved by the first disaster. The second disaster saved the victims of the first disaster. The victims of the second disaster will probably go to China and easily get their spot there.
Yes. She needed to place at least 10th for the chance to send someone to qualify a second spot in Beijing.

I just watched Maddie... OMG... sure.. she missed that lutz but the rest... was pretty good and i loved the program.
So proud of her. Bravo... Sure, it's not the top 10 we wanted but I thought that 11 was where she would most likely end up... I thought the Ninas, Amber and the Koreans would pass her... so not too surprised.
She's worked on the levels which is awesome too... of course, with a lutz in, she would be top ten.. but this is promising.

Her free programme is also under-developed at the moment compared to those of the others. She has only been doing that programme since nationals and they have been doing theirs since the summer. It shows in the smaller choreographic nuances which hers doesn't have at the moment. I haven't looked, but I suspect she would come out quite favourably if you compared her score yesterday with those others were achieving in Sept/Oct.
It was good that Maddie skated a great short and ended in the final group. But that in a way may have been a 2 edged sword. Think had she been in 7th or 8th in the short she may have not been in such shock. I could see when she skated out to centre ice that she was not in the same frame of mind as she was for the short where she looked more relaxed and free. But I do think she skated well in the free but just did not get good GOE after her 1st mistake even though some of her later elements were quite well done.

Despite the popped lutz, Maddie performed the rest of her programme really well and was mostly patient with the rest of her elements. I saw what appeared to be real joy in her skating this week. So happy for her.
My bar for happiness at this world's is much lower than last year tho, just extremely grateful that all our competitors made the free skate cutoff. Now if Skate Canada would send our skaters out to more Challengers and B's (because we are not going to get enough GP and Jr GP spots next year) so they can get experience and points for standing. But if wishes were kittens, I would need to get lots more litter boxes in my house. Hoping for a good Ice Dance competition today and no freak falls.

I’m sad Canada lost a spot in Pairs. But, they didn’t execute well at Worlds.
I was really hoping Maddie would be the one to surprise to earn us back the lost spot and she just missed.
As for dance, it is clear Piper and Paul will win silver. I’m intrigued with the battle for bronze. Does LaLa actually have a chance? I think they will ultimately give it to the Italians. I just hope LaLa stays at #5. I will scream with joy if they surpass the British team and hold off the Americans and teams behind them.
As for Roman. I’m happy with him earning a spot already. It is not like we have any depth with our Senior Men. I know there is an outside chance for a top ten finish. He will have to be clean with a landed 4S in the second half just to have a chance. I don’t see him ever landing that quad in the second half considering he struggles with fully rotating the 4S, as his first element. I hope he goes for a 3S instead. Also, his 3Lz has looked off recently. I guess my goal for Roman is just to place higher than last season. Top 18 placement will make me happy.

Yes, LaLa have a chance - but I don't think it's a particularly good chance. I expect the ice dance bronze to go to either the Italians or to Carreira/Ponomarenko. The latter wouldn't normally be in the running, but some of the US skaters are being given very favourable GOE and PCS marks this week (in some events, and for some skaters - Efimova/Mitrofanov were, I think, actually underscored in the pairs short where the other US pair were overscored).
I hope Piper and Paul can remain second but with the Tec and Judge panel I am not sure they may not drop to 4th. I can actually see the Brits and the 2nd USA team of C/P medaling. Even if Piper and Paul stay 2nd I think C/P will get 3rd. The USA skaters have all been getting home bonus levels, GOE and calls.
