Karen and Ashley no carrots as well.

Ashley just poor GOE's.

There's always that one judge that gives Gabby's 3T-3T a 2 while everyone gave out 3's

 

[luckyguy]

If only Kaetlyn and Gaby could shine again in the FS!

 

[Skater Boy]

YES. That crowd when she posed before her StSq. GET IT GURL.

Le boyfriend who knows nothing about FS said she was the best of the night.

Off to bed after her scores. Almost 3:30AM on Oahu.

Ah are we talking skating or as it to aesthetics??? LOL

 

[MsSweetie]

That was the main thing I noticed while watching her. Her spins aren't usually that slow, are they?

 

[atsumiri]

My mom (casual viewer) thinks that Medvedeva is much better than any other else... She says that She has Some qualities that makes her stand out (hands over the head while jumping, jumps in the second half only)... After having seen her jumping the 2a She said: ''The SP format is not challenging enough for a skater like this...''

lool. My mom said almost the same)

After reading many nice comments about Canadian ladies year round it's nice to read some very nice comments about Canadian ladies today.

No matter what happens in the FS having today's results is a step in the right direction. It's recovery to the potential that was shown previously. It's Gabby finally getting a hang on that 3Lz and Kaetlyn holding on to that 2A. Both girls were also timing themselves correctly. Well done.

Would have liked to see more PCS for Wakababy, Dabin, and Elizabet. Little Bet's showing a lot of improvement from last year's SP. A top 10 finish would be really nice to see for both Dabin & Elizabet to help their countries get 2 spots for next season.

What happened to Anna? Why is she only fourth????!!! :shocked: :dev2:

I am bit disappointed too, but there were rough moments in her program today. I also think that perhaps she got UR on -3T.

 

[draqq]

Yep, Anna just didn't get the GOEs this time. Didn't get the free leg out in her jumps fast enough or not a lot of ride out, and the spins were just a bit slower today. But she's still one of my favorites to podium.

 

[jenaj]

I missed Karen Chen's skate--the feed froze. But I saw the recap. Her spiral is my everything. I hope she can keep it together in the long program.

 

[Totentanz]

Congratulations ladies that was a really enjoyable 6 hour long journey with your amazing performances! I loved top 6, they tried to bring their bests - unfortunately my favourite Anna lost some points on the TES. Still the best performance of the night for me!! Such a queen, diva, goddess! Of course it's a matter of personal preferences. Evgenia, Gabby and Katelyn were very awesome in their own ways.

My special congratulations to the skaters who did really good job in the earlier groups but couldn't qualify like Yu from Singapore, Halvin of Estonia and Brazillian lady Isadora. We don't have a successful Turkish ladies skater since Tugba Karademir but these skaters from smaller federations made me so proud and happy. Don't forget, each and every skater at this competition are national heroes for their countries. There is a lot of passion and sacrifices behind this 2.50 min SPs especially if you have worse conditions for figure skating in your country. Well done for your determination ladies!

 

[Osmond4gold]

I wonder what a certain 'CAN supporter' poster will have to say about 2 Can women in the top 3 after the short! Is this history for CAN to actually have 2 ladies skating in the final group after the short! I think they came close once with Josee and Karen but I think Karen was dumped out of the top 6 in favor of the top contenders who didn't skate as well.

I have to say, the same thought crossed my mind, Sackie. So much for his home-ice advantage theory. Respect to both our Canadians ladies!

 

[da96103]

I'm curious - what would be your personal ranking?

The top rankings are okay. Throwing the cabbages for the skaters who were Kostnerkova-ed.

 

[frida80]

No carrots for Ashley. They just didn't give her high GOE on her elements. Oh well...

a bland quite boring skater vs a much mature and polished one.

In the stsq especially you can see how Maria is using the edges way more than Dabin. (still a good skater the korean but she needs a better packaging in my opinion)

 

[skylark]

That's a wrap! Now to await the Free...

for your work on the tables and supplying them so quickly! :cool14:

My screen was freezing from Ashley forward, and I so appreciate this. Now to go find the full performances on YT.

Tell your mum to wait Zagitova next year.

 

[Interspectator]

The top 12 of this SP were awesome. Great skating all around.
Sad for Mai. Proud of Rika and Wakaba. -Hang in there Japanese ladies. You can bring it in the FS.

 

[Yatagarasu]

I am bit disappointed too, but there were rough moments in her program today. I also think that perhaps she got UR on -3T.

Nope. It's the GOEs. She has negative on the 3Lo, and the combo didn't get much either.
