Josee Chouinard but I think she skates more like Osmond.

Why is it called the toe loop and not the Mapes.OK, Axel Paulsen, Ulrich Salchow and Ferdinand Toeloop just wake up

The toe loop jump is the simplest jump in the sport of figure skating.It was invented in the 1920s by American professional figure skater Bruce Mapes - so says Wikipedia
Maddie hasn't had a good skate with this LP all season. I wonder if there's some changes that could be made. She fought for it, which is admirable, but there was very little performance for at least the first half, while she was laser focused on the jumps. I will not be sad to see her get a new program next season.But Maddie showed spirit and determination. I think she has room to grow into that program, expression-wise.
i was wondering that too but even if she had landed her combo in the short she likely would have been scored few points behind Maddie anyway and considering that even with her clean 7 triple skate Maddie with a skate with multiple tiny mistake in the jump landings and a pop still managed to score 1 point behind her in the free, it still would have most likely led to Maddie winning.In my mind, I was wondering what would have happened if Ruiter had a better short program…she could’ve eclipsed Schizas … would that mean she would have went to worlds????
Well, you could still say that Maddie could have had a better FS then still. The "problem" is that they really need Maddie and can't just send anyone because of minimums, pressure, experience and consistency.In my mind, I was wondering what would have happened if Ruiter had a better short program…she could’ve eclipsed Schizas … would that mean she would have went to worlds????
Especially considering what happened with Kaiya at JW. She just doesn’t have enough experience internationally. Plus Maddie will have a ton of pressure to get two spots. Firstly for home worlds and second since she might lose her spot with so many others rising to challenge her.i was wondering that too but even if she had landed her combo in the short she likely would have been scored few points behind Maddie anyway and considering that even with her clean 7 triple skate Maddie with a skate with multiple tiny mistake in the jump landings and a pop still managed to score 1 point behind her in the free, it still would have most likely led to Maddie winning.
I still think that if Kaia had somehow won they would have sent Maddie to sr worlds as she has more experience.
The score threshold from Nationals is 165, so that would be Maddie, Kaiya, Fiona and Sara-Maude.what’s the threshold score to get international assignments for women? 160?
I am curious to see how Maddie was deliberately overscored in the SP?IMO Schizas was deliberately overscored in the SP to ensure she'd retain the title. There is no way Canada was going to send Ruiter to Worlds, given the gap in her international competition resume. So it was important for Skate Canada to be sure Madeline went to Worlds as Canadian champion.
That said, Madeline hasn't been at all impressive this season. She hasn't been able to turn in a clean FS, and she only does one lutz and one flip (when she does actually land the flip) when the top skaters are doing two lutz/two flip programs. Given the base value of her FS, she absolutely needs to deliver it cleanly to have any chance of cracking top 10 at Worlds.
