Ack, just looked and Gracie will need better than her SB. Do Nats scores count towards that?

Internationals only for the official record, I'd believe.

I really admire Popova's consistency. She's the most consistent female skater that is competing at the moment probably.

But she needs some charisma and personality. And more flow out of her jumps. And a dance coach.

^^This.

Not really. Both American girls are better than all 3 Russians they sent here. The fact that Russia sent 3 girls who can't keep 3 spots is also telling they don't deserve 3 spots. yes?

Ugliness doesn't need to be at the Olympics. I can skip both Liza and Alena, and if Adelina brings her wild beast LP to the Olympics, then I don't care for her either.

I STRONGLY disagree that Gracie Gold is better than EITHER Liza or Adelina.

That is all I'm gonna bother saying in response to this.

Why is ISU allowing Worlds to be held in an ice surface that is smaller than standard size? :/

This question has been made to Skate Canada during the week and their main reasoning was they bid London to host Worlds cause they prefered a smaller but sold out venue than a big venue with half empty seats.

They don't :/ So her PB is actually only about 112.

PB is 113.85 from WJC last year.

Season's best, you mean?

Very true. The Russians have been overhyped for awhile. I still remember in 2010 it being said Kim and Asada had no shot for 2014 if they choose to go for it since the Russian girls were going to take over the event for sure by then. What a joke.

Costs.

Yeah, rhetorical question really. Still, so annoying. Stupid NHL. :/

Hockey rinks in Poland are proper size and I think that's the case for the whole of Europe as well.

Ok, that's what I thought but I wasn't sure. I was like, if that's her SB after Nats, we're in big trouble.

Haha, no. Her score at Nats was 132+, the second highest in US Nationals history (after Sasha Cohen).

Icey · Mar 16, 2013

why was London given this event if they couldn't provide a proper size rink? Some of the skaters seem ill at ease or even intimidated by the size. Surely affects their skating. Wish I hadn't started watching until now. This hasn't been very exciting.

Elizaveta isn't the most expressive or lyrical skater, but I enjoy her nonetheless. You have to respect someone who fights for everything even when they aren't skating their best. She's only 16 and this is her first Worlds. She skated solidly tonight and will be back next year.

My stress level is definitely picking up for these last 2 groups. Gracie's next. As the British commentators would say, "Everyone hang on to your hats..."

I don't know if I can watch...can we just fast forward to the end? *bites nails* Oh man.

Jammers · Mar 16, 2013

I'm not sure how big Gracie's scores in the LP would be if she skated clean. She's been sloppy or just plain bad all season excluding Nationals.

Maybe we're about to find out.

It's showing ice dance right now - will it revert to the ladies? I thought group 3 was supposed to be on by now.

Oh yeah. my bad

She's one of the most technically strongest skaters out there, but she really needs to hold everything together.

Gymfan15 · Mar 16, 2013

No, they're resurfacing the ice.

jamie · Mar 16, 2013

First off I wouldn't write off the 3 spots just yet, secondly, The American girls are hardly better, Ashley is more experienced and Gracie performed better on the short, I hope both teams manage 3 spots.

I predict Gold to bomb badly.

It does take a long time to resurface the ice. Ten minutes, if I remember correctly, and then the warmup.
