An Indian skater? How interesting.

Tara has been around a while. @Ichatdelune and I love her and you should love her too. I saw her skate in Philly last year.

I think I could count them on my toes and fingers.

Maybe it's time to move this event to Japan. They always have big crowds and the skaters seem to really skater there.

Tara bit underscored on the 2A. Liked her quite a bit. Ya nevah know. Going to keep my eye on her if we get a chance to see her again.

I see her pretty often. Even live once last year. At Philly where you have to woman or man up and ride the train 2 days to see it if you want to see it cuz there’s no stream.

No no no…Sofia is a trained figure skater. I haven’t seen her skate today because I got my times crossed (in my own dang country) and I get that she didn’t skate well today but she’s injured.

It’s 4CCs. They have it in various parts of Asia very often but it’s 4CCs, not the Asian Games.

I was hoping she could get the tech minimum for Worlds, but she probably would have needed a triple-triple for that, even with a clean program.

Senior worlds? She’s going to Junior worlds can you even do both?

How about Korea?

 

[moonvine]

fixed that for you

what the required rhythm is going to be?

“80s music rhythm.”

Dear those, who where privileged to watch: what happened to Bradie? Why she is in 5th? no stamina?

 

[Jeanie19]

Senior worlds? She’s going to Junior worlds can you even do both?

Yes. Deniss Vasiljevs did both in 2016.

Underrotation on the 3T, her stamina was fine.

 

[moonvine]

How about Korea?

Yep. Had it there 3-4 years ago. @Ichatdelune was there.

 

[moonvine]

I will call the police

I call them often. They ignore my calls.

Dear those, who where privileged to watch: what happened to Bradie? Why she is in 5th? no stamina?

I thought she skated beautifully. Skating skills and presentation were stellar. But, she under rotated the second jump in her combo and her triple flip. That cost her a few places.

I missed the last group. Is there somewhere that has replays posted yet?

Found this Yelim Kim YouTube video(looks like fan cam):

I thought she had a priest collar, can priests curse people?

Evil priests can. I thought it was a nun collar though.

She skated great. Look how closely they are grouped!

 

[Seven Sisters]

She skated great. Look how closely they are grouped!

I was there, and thought Bradie was actually a tad overscored today.
Amber, on the other hand, was fabulous. She was actually smiling to herself throughout the skate, as if to say, you’ve got this!

For those of you who were in the arena, I have a question. Does Isabeau's Posture Bother You? It seems like she's had a lot of ballet training but, I never had a ballet teacher who wasn't fanatical about Posture. The fact that she's basically parallel to the ice when she takes off really bothers me. However, it seems clear that the judges don't feel the same way.

Maybe it's time to move this event to Japan. They always have big crowds and the skaters seem to really skater there.

I'd wait till after Worlds to say that - numbers are at least a little down even there.
