Just a note that the video links are the ones from the Skate America site to the USFS videos. :yes: I like the table! (Except, you know, Brendan at the bottom. )

Thx, AlexRus.

Do you know what criterion determined the order in which the men are listed in the table???

It's not PBs.
It's not SBs.
It's not 2014 GP placements.
It's not 2015 Euros/Four Continents placements.
It's not 2015 Worlds/Junior Worlds placements.

I'm stumped.

World Standings isn't it?

Likely starting order (or at least starting groups) based on ranking:

59. Brendan Kerry
40. Ross Miner
26. Florent Amodio
22. Alexei Bychenko
18. Max Aaron
17. Adien Pitkeev
----
13. Han Yan
11. Shoma Uno
9. Konstantin Menshov
8. Takahito Mura
6. Jason Brown
5. Denis Ten

World Standings isn't it?

No, the order of the Russian chart is not based on ISU World Standings.

Mrs. P's post above gives the World Standings from the ISU page:

http://www.isuresults.com/ws/ws/wsmen.htm​

ETA:

I'm seeing now that above the Russian table, it says (in part): ... это построение довольно условно.
Which per Google Translate, roughly means, "this construction is rather arbitrary."​

There is said (my translation to English):
"Table built on the results of the best skating in the career, taking into account their best results in the past and this season, and this construction is rather arbitrary."

 

[Mattieu]

I am just praying that Amodio suddenly finds his old form and is a surprise to everyone

 

[Layback11]

Excited for my first live men's competition! Go Denis!

 

[Warwick360]

Only a day to go.

Won't be able to catch up to the events live but should definitely make a great Sunday catch up.

Really, really hoping no one ends up having a brain fart for the first GP event of the season.

The ISU has posted the STARTING ORDER, and it is exactly what Mrs. P had foreseen:

http://www.isuresults.com/results/season1516/gpusa2015/SEG001.HTM​

The PDF with the detailed TIME SCHEDULE (for each individual skater) also has been posted:

http://www.isuresults.com/results/season1516/gpusa2015/gpusa2015_Men_SP_TimeSchedule.pdf​

ETA, mini-postscript :

As mentioned above, the ISU results page has links to the detailed time schedule PDFs -- the no-nonsense black-and-white ones with which we are familiar from previous comps.
In addition ... @ISU_Figure later tweeted the same detailed schedule information as well -- this time all spiffed up in glorious technicolor and embellished with the fancy event logo, etc. #HigherProductionValues #StyleAndSubstance

Thanks for the verification re the table from the post in the Russian forum, AlexRus.

Go Denis!

x2

Go Denis!

 

[snowflake]

Can't wake up for this, but what an exciting men’s competition. So many great skaters trying hard elements. Totally impossible to predict the podium. Anyway I really hope for at least 2-3 clean performances here! GO all!

Oh, and every competition with Jason from now will be breathtaking; waiting for him to nail the quad and hear the audience’s roar when he gets it!

 

[MaxSwagg]

Go for it, Shoma! :yay:

 

[badknees]

Why is there such a long break between the ladies SP and the short dance?

 

[TheGrandSophy]

Time for people in the audience (and some officials on duty throughout) to get food, I expect.

Oh duh, that makes sense. I was wondering the same thing haha.

Opening ceremony.

An hour to go! I'm so nervous. Please please please Brendan, Max, Jason, just go clean. Please please please. Especially Brendan. Please Plushenchrist smile on his GP debut.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Unfortunately, I'll probably be sleeping through this event. Sorry men, but I have youth orchestra at 9:00 AM.

Edit: Actually, I lied. I'm here, as long as no one notices that I'm staying up until whenever this event ends.

 

[karne]

Half an hour! :hopelessness:
