Pretty much all the men at Inge Solar skated badly with the exception of Grassl. Innsbruck is only about 1900 feet above sea level, so it's not really at high altitude.

Interesting point...

But for a high skill sport like figure skating, the change in air density will affect the feedback from balance and proprioception...

And there is a significant change for 3% in air density per every 1000 ft of altitude.

Roman did well to get one 4S landed in his FS...and his instinct to pull back to a 2A is more understandable.
 
^ Me too, noxchild. :( I really believed he'd place 2nd.

Keegan, I love your skating, your programs, your infectious joy, and look forward to great skates from you again soon!
 
Rough event for Keegan (really, rough for almost everybody other than Morisi and Kazuki). I think he's likely to wind up as first alternate, based on his standing.

First alternate might be good enough, given Yuzuru's injury...

Hopefully it goes without saying that someone else's injury and withdrawal is not how you want to get into the GPF.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing; it certainly makes the jockeying for the alternate position all the more important.

Looking over the lineup, there are two guys there who could take the first alternate spot away from him and one who could bump Junhwan down to the role of first alternate. The latter is Samarin if he takes silver (or gold, in theory, but let's assume Nathan takes that). The two guys who could be first alternate are Jin Boyang and Dmitri Aliev, who both placed fifth at their event, and need to either take gold or place second with scores or 266.41 (in Aliev's case) or 258.64 (in Jin's case) to win a tiebreaker.

So lots to watch for in the standings next week.
 
Agree with your analysis. A lot of bullets for Keegan to dodge, so to speak, but possible.

Also looking forward to seeing Nic skate. Wouldn't it be something if he could take the silver. Unlikely, but not entirely implausible.
 
These SCI videos are over 3 weeks late, but better late than never... I don't have TSN, so unfortunately I can't be as generous with this competition as I am with CBC's coverage. However, I will share what I can (which is primarily the men's event, although it's certainly not everything). The vids in this section are in 720p.

:otopic: Since I spend a lot of time on this thread, I thought I should let you all know that I nearly died on Friday night (and no, I'm not exaggerating in the slightest). The medical staff at the hospital saved my life by giving me three blood transfusions plus an IV drug that slowed down bleeding. A doctor has prescribed me medication that should stabilize my condition and (hopefully) prevent another life-threatening episode. I'm very weak (naturally), but I'm so grateful that I'm still alive, and that I can continue to do "mundane" things like discuss our Canadian skaters with you guys. :ghug: Honestly, I'm overwhelmed with joy that my life almost seems normal today, when just a few nights ago, it was a struggle for me to stay conscious with such massive blood loss, and not knowing if I'll survive to see the next morning. I'm resting and recovering now.

Some of you may find this darkly amusing; while I hovered between life and death, after I had pondered about my family, friends, the meaning of life and all that profound stuff, my mind wandered to more trivial issues, and one of them was, "But who will share CBC coverage on GS when I'm gone?!" :laugh: I may have been a bit delirious at this point. :p
 
Wow siberia82! I'm at least glad to hear that you are doing much better now. Speedy recovery to you :ghug:

Sooo happy you’re feeling better, and glad you’re back:ghug: Please take care and get better!

And for the very mundane, happy that we will continue to get CBC coverage :biggrin:
