Excited to watch Carolona live in just a few hours. Here is hoping for a clean skate. Love her SP music and choreo. Don't care so much about the Russian jump contest. Prefer a 'real' program any day over Medvedeva.

Bet you liked these comments:

A random but not a particularly interesting fact is that for the past three World Championships, the winner was always the skater who skated first in her SP group.
2014 - Asada skated first in the 2nd-last group
2015 - Tuktamysheva skated first in the final group
2016 - Medvedeva skated first in the final group

Medvedeva will very likely win this one anyway though, so I guess this time it wouldn't matter when she skates...

ANNE LINE GJERSEM FOR WORLD CHAMPION!

(teehee)

:cheer: :clap: :rock: :party2: :hb: :points:

That was my automatic thought too when I read that observation. ;) :biggrin:

Although, to be honest, Anne Line was the only skater that I could remember was starting a group! (And that was because I was annoyed that she was kicking off the competition, as I will probably miss her if the snooker is not over as quickly as it was yesterday).

It would be lovely if another of my children won a World Championship (after Anna and Martin won Junior Worlds last season).

I applaud your intention to watch starting from the first skater:clapper:

I'm a committed FS fan who for the first time is able to watch an entire session because I got out of work early and have the whole DAY to watch it! It's one of those "YOLO" days...

Seeding is supposed to be done by ordering skaters by World Ranking, and splitting them into two approximately equal groups "skate earlier" and "skate later". With uneven numbers of skaters, the extra skater is put into "skate later" In the "skate later" group, the highest ranking skaters have a draw for the last warmup group and the next highest ranking skaters draw for the penultimate group, followed by any remaining skaters in the "skate later" group drawing for spots. Then the "skate earlier" group will have a draw for their spots (with no separate groupings like the "skate later" skaters do).

Starts on page 88 here

Starting order by current World Standings Ranking:

...

Judging by this, it looks like the rules were followed. 37 skaters means 19 in "skate later" and 18 in "skate earlier". Warmup Group 7 contains the 6 top ranked skaters, and Warmup Group 6 the next top 6. The 7 remaining "skate later" make up Warmup Group 5 and the last two spots in Warmup Group 4. Warmup Groups 1-3 and the first 3 skaters in Warmup Group 4 are then entirely random draw for their spots, which is how Anastasia Galustyan (ranked 41) is in Warmup Group 1 and Yasmine Kimiko Yamada (ranked 170) is in Warmup Group 3.

So, just to clarify because it is so easy to get confused with the terminology, the seedings are based on the World Standings (past 3 seasons), not the World Rankings (just current season).

Bearing in mind that it is based on something, I really can't understand why they don't do it as a straight lowest to highest. It would make the SP so much easier to follow, and also mean that we would know the start order a lot sooner!

And I am still raging with the changes they made to the FS start order at the last congress. They missed the opportunity to make the competition simpler to follow and more exciting at the same time!

That would have made the judging embarrassingly easy and bad.

Wait... Mirai #7? :luv17:
Go Karen, Go Anna, Go Zijun, Go Osmond, Go Wakababy. Go go US ladies and young Korean skaters.
