2018 Canadian Nationals Senior Women - FS

Edit: Wrong thread.

Wait whaaaaat? When's the last group?

 

[ioanablabla]

It's early group ladies and then early group dance then later group ladies then final flight dance.

BTW.. Jeff Buttle was saying that the first group ladies were at practice at 5:30 this morning which meant they were probably up at 3:30 am. If anyone gets third out of the lower flights then they certainly have earned it.

this is crazy

Those twiddles were quite lovely. Not super smooth but good unison.

hehe.. twiddles.. like thumbs. I could probably get a positive GOE for my thumb twiddling.

 

[millie]

sad to see such beautiful skaters who can't land jumps in competition. anybody want a ticket to the Olympics?? just need to land a few clean jumps...anyone...nooo??

hate to say, but it hurts to see fierce skaters like Wakaba Higuchi, Polina Tsurskaya and Ashley Wagner left off their Olympic Teams after their competitive nationals bloodbaths...yet nobody seems hungry enough for basically a free ticket to the Olympics in Canada.

If the fierce skaters that you quote were so fierce why aren't they on the Olympic Team...lol.

Third group in ladies starts 12:15 PST.

It's gonna be the same at the Olympics.

Here's the schedule for the rest of the day, ice dance is before the third group for broadcast reasons: https://skatecanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/2018-CTNSC-Schedule-JAN-6.pdf

What TV program, stream shows last group???

 

[rain]

What is happening? Why do I see ice dancing?

The schedule is for the first two groups of ladies, then the full ice dance competition, followed by the final group of ladies. Then the first two groups of men, the full pairs competition, followed by the final group of men. It clumps together the medals from the disciplines, essentially, for easier tv broadcast.

Pretty Brutal.

I remember reading that Javi is not a morning person. I wonder if any of the ladies are also not morning people. I wonder if that might be one of those intangibles that change the outcome.

Loved Alaine's dress. I hope she will find again her confidence, she is such a lovely skater.

because the other skaters on the Olympic Teams in those countries are fiercer duh lol. that's my whole point...in Canada, other than Kaetlyn and Gabby, there's no other world-level quality skaters...so the third Olympic spot is basically a once in a lifetime, pressure-free opportunity for anyone who wants to land a few jumps and grab it. but from what we've seen so far nobody at this point seems to want this free gift.

 

[EdgeCall]

Apparently TSN4 is streaming two groups of dance, then last group of ladies. They could have done it the other way round without tearing the ladies' event into two pieces. What is this schedule good for? This does not make sense to me.

 

[liv]

Television. They show last group of dancers live, then the last group of ladies, live. that's what it's good for.

At 2pm Eastern, now, go to TSN 4 or TSN 5 and they are showing the dance and ladies. It runs from 2-4:30 pm eastern time.

Ask US to change the rules of the IOC, and invite girls from Russia: - Canada - 3 tickets, them the title of the canadian OG winners. US will not agree - then they get nothing:handw:.

More speed and power?
Don't be so strict to frallik. Probably he just watched Anna Sherbakova and then switched to Canadian Nationals )

The north american figure skaters better stay with their usual clock in Peyong Chang, ignoring the time change

I've never seen her before. Is she with Tutberidze? She uses so many of the same transitions and steps as Medvedeva that she looks like a miniature version of her.

wasn't aware this was the Russian ladies thread.

It's still the Canadian ladies' nats thread. But at least Shcherbakova makes a nice interval break.
