2016 World Championships Ladies SP

[MaiKatze]

Eeveryone, please repeat after me , GOOOoooooo MAAAaaaaOOOoooo!!!

Out of all the ladies I want to see Mao on the podium the most. I'm not the biggest fan of her FS, though. And for some weird reason, Anna Pogo. I'd love for one of the skaters who are kind of under the radar to make a stand! The most boring outcome would be 1. Medvedeva 2. Miyahara 3. Radionova. *yawn*

How about a surprise Zijun Li skates her heart out and gets rewarded for it

Unfortunately I think that even a clean Zijun Li won't make the podium. Neither will Rika, although I love her programs. *sigh*

I would not call this a very "Russian friendly" tech panel, but I truly hope it doesn't influence on the outcome. My dream podium would be Mao, Gracie and Evgenia. Any order would be ok, but of course Mao on top would be the best. I love that girl!! She made me a figure skating fan again after a long break. (Viktor Petrenko first made me a fan long time ago..)

Shouldn't the start list be out already? What are they waiting for?

Also, this is just a gripe about Gracie, but what on Earth is she thinking keeping the flip in her SP? If she doubles/pops it again, it'll be a disaster. I may have to go to Boston and give her a come to Jesus moment myself. And NOBODY has time for that.

Can you add So Youn Park too?

 

[kalle]

I have not always been a fan of Ashley but this year, I truely hope that she deliver in both phases of the competition. As far as I can read out from the practice reports, she seems to be VERY ready but obviously, that also needs to be translated into her SP..

I am also rooting for Mao to surprise us all, that would be fantastic after her ups and downs throughout this comeback season.

Last but not least, go MIRAI :hap36:
I hope that she is super motivated despite late notice and boot problems. As long as she believes in herself, I think she will deliver what can be expected of her at this stage.

Anxious already:hopelessness: I feel something weird will happen...

Seriously where is the ladies SP order?! Have the done the drawing ceremony already?

I guess they think that without the extra TES, she has no shot anyway, so better play the high risk game.

ETA: But it's only a 0.2 difference, actually. So this actually makes no sense...

Draw is at 6:30 p.m. So there is no starting order to post. Unfortunately, I will be asleep when they do
Hopefully, Niki Wories will draw group 4 because then I can probably watch it live on TV!

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Someone please inform Christine Brennan The woman lives in a time warp.

Ugh, I can't stand Brennan. Woman gets on my last nerves. :hpull:

They should be drawing for the ladie's SP right now! I hope that Mirai gets a good draw! I hope she skates two great programs - and please skate gods no broken boots!

You got it! Nestled right into the middle of group 4!

GOOOOOOoooooo Diva Wagner, Clean SP, Nail that 3-3 in the SP, the gold is yours

 

[amc987]

I hope Gracie puts the blinders on and only focuses on herself and her program. I could see her getting spooked by the Russians + Miyahara in the last group.

Good luck to her, Diva Wagner, Mirai, and Mao!

And here's hoping there's only 1 Russian (Medvedeva) on the podium.

So is this the order of the morning practice session, the afternoon short program, or both? Am I reading right that Wagner will be in the practice group that goes at 9:50, and Gold in the group that goes at 10:30? They're the two that my kids really want to watch.
