Same, 5 points for Nina and 10 for Haein I think…

i think i am getting more than 15 in the end... gubanova came back... oh well.. my score will be a mess anyways with dance LOL

still obsessed with how smart Ziegler's jump layout is -- no 3-3 in the LP, but she still does 7 triples and two 2A -- much less risk of underrotations and loss of GOE as a result.

congrats to all the medalists! fabulous competition!

I had Yelim, Mai and Wakaba but it would be very funny if I got a great score in Men, which atm looks… possible?

I know!! I loved her 2A 2A sequence. Also, she got her combos out of the way, at the beginning

Haein!! This is her fourth fourth place finish at a GP event over this and the past season.

I love these patented TED talks during the medal ceremonies

Now she needs to work through three third places and two second places...

Does anyone remember how Adam Rippon had two thirds and made the GPF, and the next year he had two seconds, and then made it to the Olympics?

Competitions in Japan always have the best medals

I'm surprised Peacock is showing the medal ceremony.

When was the last time two american women got on the podium at GPs ?

Last year, Isabeau and Amber were on the podium at Skate America, second and third respectively.

Belgian Nationals may be a little more interesting than usual. I love Loena, but I think Nina's programs are so much better.

So that's not as bad as it seems.
So here's a trickier one.

No plastic medals in Japan!

Never ever that I can see. 2014 Gracie took the gold and 2015 Courtney Hicks had the silver.

Oops -- my bad. 1989 a 2nd & 3rd. I was looking for 1 & 2.

Good old medal table on wiki indicates that the last time that happened, it was Kristi Yamaguchi in second, and Tonia Kwiatkowski in third in 1989, lol.

I would like to make it to pairs but don't think it will happen. It's been lovely watching with you!

2023-2024 Belgian Nationals already happened....last week, in fact.

Pinzarrone won the title by 40+ points over Jade Hovine. Loena didn't compete.

Nina has lots of potential....but 3Lz<+3T in both programs cost her the title here and if I were on her team, what I would focus on fixing. However, her solo lutz was fully rotated and received +1.18 GOE, which is promising.

 

[SmileHappy34]

Sorry my bad.
I meant 1-2.
Someone said 1st and 3rd on old 6.0s.

Belgian NAtionals already happened on November 17. Loena was ill and was not able to be at Nationals, she was ill already in China.

 

[icewhite]

I just looked at the results and wtf happened.

Looks like it was 1989 with Kristi Yamaguchi and Tonia Kwiatkowski
