OMG!?! Madelaine Schizas has not qualified?? and Lara Naki Gutman...where are you, my girl?? I wanted you to surprise yourself and to get the bronze!! Oh, I have not yet watched yet anything... just looking in results now... very happy for Loena, though.
Lucky you all, you have watched in real time or in arena.
It would be a privilege to hear some impressions from those who where in arena 🙏
 
We may be looking at the podium finish among the top five placements in the SP, all depending upon how the LPs go. As for me, I totally give up on the judging. It doesn't mean much, aside from how the tech specialists/controllers call each element. I see plenty of unfairness as to who gets values lowered and who doesn't, who gets qs and !s and who doesn't, who gets honest GOEs and who doesn't, and who gets fair PCs and who doesn't. This Olympics has turned into just a big 'whatever, who even cares?' for me. Maybe Worlds will go better. I will likely not see Worlds, since my Nord VPN is now useless to view anything via other countries. Right now I don't even mind that; it's helpful in other ways.
 
Amber would have been likely second. The air came out of the program after the 2 loop. She lost about 7 points on the loop, 1.5 points on Stsq GOE, .5 points on layback GOE and 1+ points on PCS. I think she would have scored around 77.5 to 78. I hope being in the second group will free her up to laydown a 150 plus freeskate.

Was it mental or physical, due to 3 axel taking so much energy? What do people think?
 
Yahoo articles are really idiotic. According to this "sportswriter," Alysa had a minor underrotation on a triple axel, and Amber failed to complete a combination jump. Is it that hard to find a journalist who knows something, anything about figure skating?

Go ahead and tear it apart. :biggrin:
 
As a Canadian I am very disappointer in Maddie's skate. To me her result is not acceptable. She has really let Canada down. Just think SC needs to give up on her and look to the further. When was the last time Canada di not have some one make the free skate. Even Jen Robinson skated to a 7th place finish.
 
If you mean a shot at the podium...much as I love Isabeau, IDK if that's in the cards for these Olympics.
Well, I can dream. I’m dreaming of bronze for her. Her style of skating is my favorite. I realize she doesn’t skate as fast as others, but I love the attention to detail, and the way she skates to the music. It doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the other skater’s style. I’d love to see Kaori win. I believe she is the best skater in the competition.

Agreed, time to move to Minsol Kwon. Maddie was always such a gamble.

Agreed! But if Isabeau isn't on the podium this year, she's only 18, right? She'll be back.
