Is anyone able to watch the live stream? It's showing speed skating???
You have to click where says "Playlist videos: ISU skating channel - live" click the image of the FS junior worlds 2014.
Thank you, I tried that too, it didn't work earlier but now it works! Thanks!
coach related shallow note:
I finally figured out what Inna Goncharenko's hairdoo looked like
Betty Boop !!
I love how you point out a shallow note, yet all your posts are the definition of shallow
I thought Satoko would have a bit of a higher score in PCS. Her skating was flawless.
I feel that Elena has the "film music" genre down!
Hm. Even now, I still do a double-take when Miyahara does her spins in both directions...
Sakhanovich really overscored in PCS!!
Still think Karen was lowballed in PCS relative to everyone else. They were also stingey with her on the GOEs. Wonder if the perception of injury hurt her. The 3loop step out cost her.
What is the procedure there? If tech specialist or the assistant calls for a review, how is a decision made? It seems the technical specialist doesn't have the final say over the assistant? Is it whatever the specialist/assistant agree on, and if they don't agree, does the technical controller decide? Or what?
Unless your stateside! I have to read your posts and wait for Mao88 to post the videos. :scowl:

Miyahara was originally a clockwise skater when she started FS in the US. In Japan, all clockwise skaters are trained to "fix" for conveniences of coaches and majority skaters (I guess). If she didn't need to fix it, her jumps could be much better.
Actually, I quite prefer sky_fly20 commenting on coach's hair, as opposed to commenting on the skater's weight or height. At least the coach is an adult. Picking on skaters and trying to fit them into sky_fly20's weird view of life is shameful.

As Lil'Kitsu said, Sakhanovich had slightly weak landings on both jumps in her combination (especially the second) so the +1s and +2s are . Just like with Medvedeva, I guess this is the 'WOW effect' at play. They did a 3/3 combination so who cares about what the quality actually was. The pluses are out!
