2015 Worlds Ladies Short Program March 26

[peg]

I really hope Brooklee can regain her jumps. She's a lovely skater (with gorgeous spins) and was a joy to watch on the GP circuit, but since then she's been struggling with her jumps.

 

[andromache]

Is this the last ice resurfacing? I don't know if I can make it through another one without going to sleep.

 

[wagnerfan]

Polina!!!! OMG!!!!!!

 

[yyyskate]

I basically sleep watched this ground. .. hang on for the next group!

 

[dress]

I wonder if Brooklee is stretching herself too thin? From what I recall, she does a crazy amount of extracurriculars in addition to school: community involvement, competitive dressage, AND skating.

I didn't know she does dressage. I compete in dressage too

 

[burntBREAD]

At least Brooklee has her scores from Skate America to qualify her for events next year, because her last few events have been nothing short of disaster.

 

[Hanmgse]

OUUUUUUUUCCCCCHHHH... that collective groan.... :hopelessness:

I reacted the same :hopelessness:

 

[ice coverage]

Lets not jump ahead of ourselves! Alaine could be in the top 10, and then if Gabrielle is 21st, then that is 31st. And then it's just moving up 3 places in the free, which Gabby can totally do. I'm staying optimistic!

As Mrs. P already has noted twice, qualifying for the FS means that the skater will receive sixteen placement points maximum.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Holy.....

Poor Brooklee, she didn't even want to look

 

[KwanIsALegend]

Yes! Installed Hola and the Canadian stream is working! That Russian stream kept cutting off.

 

[sabinfire]

A true tragedy for this event. At least I still have plenty of drugs to help me through it.

Thanks for the reminder. It's that time again! Gotta get ready for the final two groups.

 

[burntBREAD]

I didn't know she does dressage. I compete in dressage too

Yup! According to her Wikipedia, dressage and eventing.

 

[Mrs. P]

As Mrs. P already has noted twice, qualifying for the FS means that the skater will receive sixteen placement points maximum.

You mean 16 points minimum, I think.

 

[cjmorton29]

No, anyone below 16th gets 16 points. So if Daleman is anywhere below 16 she's still going to only contribute 16. Thus, Chartrand only needs to stay top 12.

Really?? Oh, I wasn't aware of this! That's even better! Thanks for the info!!

 

[Ophelia]

Yes! installed Hola and the Canadian stream are working! That Russian stream kept cutting off.

Yep! Did this too! Thanks for the rec Hangsme (sorry if I spelled your username wrong).

 

[sunnystars]

it would be a miracle if Alaine skates clean in the FS event

 

[peg]

Lets not jump ahead of ourselves! Alaine could be in the top 10, and then if Gabrielle is 21st, then that is 31st. And then it's just moving up 3 places in the free, which Gabby can totally do. I'm staying optimistic!

Everyone who qualifies for the free skate gets 16 points. Alaine just needs to stay in the top 12.

 

[Hanmgse]

Yep! Did this too! Thanks for the rec Hangsme (sorry if I spelled your username wrong).

no worries, glad it worked.

 

[MiRé]

So Youn will be at least 15th......... 2nd to last group in the free

 

[frieda]

Wow... that TES... poor Brooklee...
