Even the 1st place Osmond can't afford to fhuck up in the FS because eryone below her is very close!
Even 6th place Bet or 5th place Zagitova can still win gold here with a clean skate! Exciting!
So if Maria is second in the end will she kick Wakaba out of the final?
UHH.... they aren't that close...
UR and fall on the same jump kind of diminishes the impact because the negative GOE comes into play only once.Alina got 2 UR , she got only one clean triple and she ended up with 62
Yes since she will have 2 silvers while Wakaba has bronze and silver but Maria still have to skate clean in the FS because the scores are super close!
less than 7 points is very doable especially in the case of Zagitova vs Osmond
The competition organizers have mobilized some twenty workers since Monday to scrape the 1800 square meters of the rink to create an immaculate surface.Re the quality of the ice:
For those who understand French (I do not), this page (article, plus scroll down for a video) has some information about making the ice for this competition.
The page is from a few days ago.

I'm curious whether anything interesting is said??
Maria somehow evaded the UR police :scratch3: overall I think this judging is very decent.
Well, this is Osmond's to lose now. And things are looking good for Sotskova to make the final, for now.
I don't know, even with the double on the end of the combo and the hand down, Kaetlyn's SP was still entertaining and fun to watch. What a great program, and as always she performs it start to finish.
Back to Polina, I saw the score first and then the program -- given the score my expectations were low, but seeing the program, I think if she sticks with it Polina can still climb back up and challenge at least nationally (I mean, given the state of US ladies now). She has continued to improve her polish and command and looks smoother than ever, if she can get the jump tech back.
