What's the status on the other Belgian girl? Is she good enough to qualify if Loena gets the second spot?

 

[Yatagarasu]

that could've happened when people's favorite skaters withdrew **cough cough hanyu**

 

[Ares]

Ticket resale companies maybe? Buy up as many seats as they can right when they go on sale and then sell them at inflated prices on the secondary market, where inevitably some go unsold especially if they’re grossly overpriced.

This might be accountable for some too, I did not think about but I remember reading about similar practice in football.

She isn't getting higher PCS internationally than the other juniors. She's getting less. Only in domestic competition is she scoring higher. It's not fair to anyone, especially to her.

Same point. You can't compare PCS from competition to competition. International judges, specially when it comes to russians girls now do anything they want or don't know what to do. The just wait for the national rankings and then go on from there. But then you only see three of them at majors. Before that, they have no clue what to do with them. Only if they are clean it starts automatically to rise. With no other visible reason most of the time.

I just don't understand people who don't watch a competition because their fav withdrew

 

[Colonel Green]

I would guess Yuzuru has no influence in the women event.

You underestimate the power of the great Hanyu at your peril!

 

[Alchamei]

I would guess Yuzuru has no influence in the women event.

Maybe Evgenia did

I don't Evgenia is so popular that people would come especially for her only.

Half of them is too young for next worlds or does not compete. Stanislava was pretty good at juniors. What the competition will be among those who potentially could represent internationally we will se next season. Yes, in Russia there is a BIG competition among women, but we will see. Nothing that could be solved in this moment.

No, I'm talking about the Russian ladies who already have won Worlds/Olys medals and wouldn't make the team now. Yes, in some cases because of injury, but the point is they are ALL replaceable. And Stasya does not have the rep to protect her like some others had for awhile. Every single Eteri girl is better and more consistent than her.

The other Belgian girl? You likely mean Kyara Van Thiel ... I am not compelled whether she has even TES minimum for Worlds.

Tsurskaya doesn't score way much higher than Konstantinova internationally, because Konstantinova hasn't been sent basically anywhere until now.
The thing is, Stasya didn't win at Nats due to her PCS advantage, it was 70.47 v. 68.74. She won with her technical score, 74.30 v. 63.54. Actually in the SP Polina got higher PCS, not significantly higher but still. I really have no idea why should she score so much higher than Stasya.

Did you miss the point about underrotated jumps that went uncalled and two-foot and scratchy landings receiving high GOE? And did you miss the point that the PCS scores should be closer to 62.47 to 68.74 rather than Konstantinova actually getting more?

And of course, in the SP Tsurskaya did have 8 points more in TES ...

Lets hope for shining second part after first twelve disaster. Common girls, show!

 

[Alchamei]

Lol, Mirai has three 3 toe combos written in her content

 

[EdgeCall]

Mirai planning 3 triple toeloops?? Can't be.

 

[wusswuss]

Mirai going for 3a???? DO ITT

 

[Sk8rBoii]

I wonder if Mirai will go for her 3A this time

 

[Warwick360]

Has south Korea now got any chance for 2 spots next year? How many would need to drop badly?

 

[Amer]

You're really not sad at all, at least for her? You can disagree with the decision to send her but I feel like anyone with some empathy would feel bad for her.

Exactly.
Blame or be upset with the federation, judging, etc. not the actual skater.

 

[slider11]

Could someone give these announcers phonetics for the names? Mi-RY and Bradie Ten-nel. She got LUNA right!

 

[singermelodie1]

oh, she plans to do the 3Axel
