Are those 4F landing supposed to look scary or is it just me?

 

[winky97]

Anyone else having IN problems?

Yes, freezing up

 

[koatcue]

Yeah, cheer for fraudulent scores. Hurray! Fraud!!! Woohooo!!! Who cares about what is right, just show us the $$$!!

In comparison to Gracie's inflated score, I meant. If you call it fraud - ok

 

[EdgeCall]

Ashley is in the exact same position here as she was in Boston......

She is not, because Gracie has already skated and did not bomb.

 

[Blades of Passion]

It's not like they count for anything!

Plus, whether you like it or not, she is absolutely amazing.

Not 150 amazing. Even breaking 140 should be a huge deal. 150 for a female program should be basically impossible without a Triple Axel.

No clue where that youtube link came from, but it works splendidly. And Shoma quad flips again!!

Nice manicure, Shoma. :yes:

 

[andromache]

Shoma looks...tentative? He's skating well but he's not drawing me in as well as he has in the past.

 

[Layback11]

3A-1lo-3F! Wow, that is such a cool combo...I love this squishy child. :yes: :dance2:

That is one of the only times I've ever seen him smile, lol.

 

[EdgeCall]

Shoma's knee-deep landings look so spectacular that I as a judge would rather count them as a +GOE feature instead of a flaw.

Shoma Uno (JPN)

4F - (<?)
3A+3T
3Lz - wobbly landing
StSq
CSSp
FCSp
3Lo
3S
4T - shaky landing
4T (so) + 1T
3A+1Lo+3F
ChSq
CCoSp3p

A few wobbly landings and an incomplete 4T combo, but a solid skate.

103.42 + 89.50 = 192.92

 

[4everchan]

i noticed that too

Nice manicure, Shoma. :yes:

 

[andromache]

The scores do not matter. Omg. All that matters is that the scores in a given competition seem reasonably correct relative to one another. Caring about the numbers is useless, because the ISU obviously doesn't.

 

[blue_idealist]

The Chinese stream is working beautifully for me now!!

 

[Iceskater12356]

Not 150 amazing. Even breaking 140 should be a huge deal. 150 for a female program should be basically impossible without a Triple Axel.

Yeah, I agree. It seems like scores have really changed over the past few years. 140 used to be a huge deal, but it doesn't seem like it is anymore. Evgenia is a good skater, but she needs more time to fully develop her skating.

 

[coucou84]

She is not, because Gracie has already skated and did not bomb.

True, and she's not 4th after the short playing the underdog. But position wise, last to skate, closing the competition at home.

 

[Layback11]

Bitty Betty looks so done with this competition.

(That's Elizabet Tursynbaeva, BTW. Or if you want to go the rapper route, Lil Lizzy T. )
