2014 Olympics Ladies Short Program

Eloise · Feb 18, 2014

I can't believe the ladies short program starts tomorrow! So excited and I just hope that everyone skates clean. The last group is going to be terrific to watch. :popcorn:

I especially hope flawless and inspired performances for Caro, a clean skate for Akiko and landing the 3A for Mao. And I can't wait to see Yuna and Yulia skating in the same competition, I bet both of them will bring their best game and will be on fire!

I actually logged into my Sochi phone app and had to endure an update just because your post made me very unsure of when it actually was. I even requested the next two days off of work and still panicked a little.

If I was smarter I would have asked for the next two days off but mandatory trainings are taking place

Hmmm....guess I'll have to sneak away and follow up on everyone's posts at some point.

Thankfully tomorrow and Thursday I can stream it while doing my experiments in lab.

I would like every skater to go clean. After that I don't care as much about the rankings. I've enjoyed the skating at these Olympics so much the result is second behind that really.
Anyone out there hoping Akiko get's two clean programs ?1.
I would love to see that girl really go for it. Maybe the nerves of the team event has helped her.

I completely agree.

It s different then the NBCs app. It's Sochi 2014 app CBC......live coverage on all sports.

But the judges aren't posted there yet which is pororocheburashka's issue.

Yeah, but you say CBC for that, which will be geoblocked. The person said they were in the US.

You have to have a cable provider and a log in and password for live streaming. I keep forgetting mine and its driving me crazy. Go to your local ice rink if you have one. If their not watching it there they are doing it wrong.

For the previous skating segments in Sochi, the judges have not been available at the ISU link until hours before the start of the competition.

pororocheburashka, if you're dying to know, you should just keep checking back at that link. And/or keep an eye out for a post from KKonas who oftens puts the information on GS. (I don't know whether KKonas gets the list from the public ISU page or from an "inside" skating source.)

Lipnitskaya's BVs are 4 points higher than Kim's and she can earn 2 more poins on spins. The question is whether the judges are willing to fill this 6 points gap with GOE and PCS (=favoritism). At least, there won't be much difference in the SP. Julia will beat Kim if she goes clean. Therefore Kim needs about 5 points higher GOE (on jumps) than Julia in the FS. The answer is probably NO. In Canada, they had the home favorite who can't do the 3loop. They didn't care about Kim's incomplete technical content. But in Russia, almost all ladies at nationals can do five different triples. They could be more scrutinizing on the technical content of each skater. If so, the 6 different triples can make a real impact.

I think nobody can beat a clean Yu-Na, not even Julia's jumps and inflated PC's. I would love to see Mao on top of that podium but I don't thing it's gonna happen

Do you honestly think Yuna and Julia's jumps are of the same quality?

NMURA · Feb 18, 2014

Kim's "quality of jumps" would deteriorate suddenly once the judges decided to favor someone else. The highest TES will win the gold medal, even Hanyu is not an exception. BVs are more reliable. You can't beat the home favorite who has the higher technical content and suprior spins depending only on the judges favors.

MidnightSkater · Feb 18, 2014

Is this 1998 ?.
It sounds like the Lipinski V Kwan debate all over again.........................

MaiKatze · Feb 18, 2014

Gwendal Peizarat just interviewed Anne-Line Gjersem on Eurosport. She seems very excited to be there and is hoping for a good result. Welcome back Norway!

desertskates · Feb 18, 2014

All I have to say is that I'm so excited for it! And I probably will not log in here because I'll be afraid this thread will just be too much for my laptop and it'll just *poof* into a pile of ashes :eek:

Because judges can use GOE (besides PCS) to help their favorite?!
