2016 Junior Worlds Ladies Short Program

[Chemistry66]

At the senior level, any skater who qualifies for the FS will receive no more than 16 placement points.
And a senior skater who does not qualify for the FS receives 18 placement points.

For juniors, are the corresponding numbers of placement points different??

Whoops. No. It's 16. You're correct. So that means top 12 for the non-withdrawn skater.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

She should take a page out of Mirai Nagasu's playbook and just keep going...

No one wants to see a sprinkler spin :eekn:

 

[Tyranid]

Does she want to cheat the failed lutz with the "i have a bloody nose excuse"??

edit: apologies, she restarst after the failed lutz

Remember Caro's spin with her hand on the nose?

Look at the judging panel:

ISR EST ROU AUT UKR RUS FIN ITA RSA

3 former SSRs, and except for RSA, an all-European panel slanting mostly to Eastern European

Don't expect the Asian skaters to score in the stratosphere

Maybe it's bias, but the Russians have never cared much for the quality of the moves - Slutskaya, Sotnikova, etc. were lively but no finese. If a skater getrs around and lands with her foot straight it gets a full score. Air positon, extension, running edge, just ignored. The result is this amaturish score up near to the top seniors. Ridiculous.

I can't believe Viveca isn't going to qualify

Is she going to grown up worlds?

"After missing the combination jump, her shoelace came undone. She was allowed to re-skate the program and nailed everything. "

Remember that boy at the JGP in Colorado who had a bloody nose...didn't he end up with a 6 point deduction or something? Ugh...poor girl. But what a trooper!

 

[tulosai]

Is she going to grown up worlds?

Yes So at least that is good.

 

[Chemistry66]

Is she going to grown up worlds?

"Grown up worlds" lololol

And yes, she's currently the Finnish entry with Jenni Saarinen as the substitute.

Wonder if they'll keep her if she doesn't end up in the FS. (Ivett Toth only managed a 44.03 at JWs last year)

 

[daphenaxa]

she skated great considering. She really gave it i enjoyed the performance a lot. too bad no combo, no spin, the fall and that very long stop

 

[Princessroja]

Wait, how did she get 6 points off? I thought you could stop a program for medical reasons and not be deducted :think:

 

[berry8]

With Tsurskaya out and Wakaba making some mistakes, this is Elizabet's best shot at a top medal with a lot of history.

you have jinxed it!!!!!

 

[EdgeCall]

Come on Angelina, please don't look so tense.

 

[Sorrento]

Why minus 6? I mean 1 is for the fall and 5 for this pause for nose bleeding?

 

[cathlen]

OMG it's really -6 :eeking: Poor Elizabet.

 

[cheerknithanson]

I'm not sure. But if its not a rule that there can be exceptions due to medical reasons then they need to make one.

 

[lauravvv]

Poor Elizabet. I don't think it's easy to skate with wadding/a tampon up your nose - it hinders breathing, after all. And a pity that she did not manage to add the second jump in combination.

 

[cheerknithanson]

I want to file a protest! She couldn't control that she had to stop for a bloody nose.

judgemental much?
