I hope Marilena'll go to Olympics.

I'm scared to look at the protocols... at least this event ended just in time for the US men's free

I didn't drink today, but...
Did a girl from Cyprus has just won North-American international competition?

Marilena is the only one without any sign

 

[Lamente Ariane]

All hail Shin Amano, international agent of chaos

Maripena gets ice cream. Everyone else gets carrot soup for dinner

Ironically, an American who skates for Cyprus but Shin Amano did his work well!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Shin's getting me terrified for JNats already

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Oh hey there’s a little sign for Marilena behind the podium

 

[Lamente Ariane]

This is a pretty nice anthem!

 

[RatedPG]

Wow! I’m shocked. You lost despite two landed 3A attempts.
Shin is in technical. Everything makes sense now. Shin appreciates well landed triples with good technique. I’m still shocked with the results. Another silver goes to You. Gold to Cyprus.

 

[ladyjane]

Watching the ceremony...what a happy girl.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I do feel for Young You especially, losing gold by .5 after standing up on 2 3as has to hurt.

Just think how delighted Ted Barton is right now. A competitor from tiny Cyprus wins gold in Canada!! I bet he’s smiling all over, seeing figure skating excellence spread all over the map like this!

To be fair, i´m no expert, but Marilenas jumps looked super clean to my untrained eye, except the 3Lo but she got negative GOE on that one. I think she deserved the judgement. I had doubts about Youngs 3As being fully round, so I have no doubt they would be checked. All though that the second one got downgraded that seems very harsh.

Edges I don´t have a trained eye for.

Well i´m off to bed. Thanks for the fun! And good luck to the skaters at US!

 

[drivingmissdaisy]

Does she even have any GP assignments?

No. She would have been able to do JGP, and she probably should have.

Dude, I've been up since 2 am with only three hours of sleep and it's now 7 am here. Both European and American timezones suck for us East Asians. I'm a caffeinated zombie with a pounding headache and a nervous heart because I have three girls here. I'm not mad at you or anything but considering timezones you folks usually have it better

You can be mad at me if it makes you fell better, I can take it. Haha

Yes, we do have it better.

But I’m of Mediterranean descent and isnt built to be waking up at 6 or 7 am. Haha

 

[alexocfp]

7 am for you...4 am for me!

Horrible. That‘s why we can enjoy these events that are early evening. No blurry eyes or stimulants needed. Haha

 

[alexocfp]

That‘s why you play the game. Sometimes you are unheralded, have the 2 best days of your life, and win an event out of complete nowhere.

Congrats to Marilena.
