Another article for those wanting to perfect their French.
This time, mostly about Piper and Paul... how they have changed the way they train to skate better when it's time for worlds

Piper Gilles et Paul Poirier visent le titre mondial

Alors que la médaille d'or est plus que jamais à leur portée, les patineurs artistiques Piper Gilles et Paul Poirier s'en tiennent à la même stratégie.

Pendant de nombreuses années, nous avons participé aux Championnats du monde, nous nous sommes surentraînés et nous n'avons pas patiné à notre meilleur niveau, car nous nous sentions épuisés à notre arrivée. Nous avons vraiment confiance en notre préparation pour cet événement cette fois-ci.
Une citation de Piper Gilles, patineuse artistique

My translation

For many years, we took part at Worlds Championships, over-trained, and we didn't skate our best. We were exhausted already upon arriving there. We are really confident in our preparation for this competition.

Piper Gilles, figure skater

Think Piper and Paul should have already been world champs but can't really see them winning against Chock/Bates in the USA, no matter how both teams skate. In fact think they may be back in 3rd or even 4th in the RD just to make sure they do not have a chance.

It would need multiple falls from Chock and Bates, in both programmes, for Piper and Paul to win.

Is the ISU stream blocked just like it was for Skate Canada International? I miss the ISU commentators

Yes, it's going to be CBC Sports/CBC Gem. I think the ISU commentators will be available through them.

My scientific wild ass guesses:

G/P - 2nd
L/L - 5th
F/A - 11th

D/D - 3rd
P/M - 6th
L/E - 12th

Maddie - 13th
Roman - he makes the long

 

[HeadBanger]

Great skate Maddie!!

 

[HeadBanger]

6th after the short! Wow, that was kinda wild. The last two groups for the free will all still be in it!

 

[Sackie]

Maddie skating in the last group. Who would have thought it. Just hope the pressure doesn't get to her in the free. She got all her levels here which is great to see. In fact had she been showing more consistency the last couple of years she probably would have been a few points higher.

This is another good draw for Madeline Schizas to skate in the last group and first ! I love that, she would have not time to overthink or having pressure to be in the final group, she will just have to skate freely and we will be proud of her no matter what !

CBC Sports posted her skate here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_dL7S9sGZ4 (may be geoblocked outside Canada)

Do they even do draws anymore? Thought it was all based in rank now

Short has draws within groupings based on the standings. Free goes in reverse order of the short.

That's what they did to them last year.

Seeing some of the very generous assessments for the American women, I fear you may be right (but I hope you're wrong).

Maddie skated great!

 

[HeadBanger]

Well, that 3rd pair spot is looking awful shaky

 

[Sackie]

The CAN pairs did not skate their best but neither did the Americans yet they did OK mark wise.

Did you expect anything else for the US skaters?

How much do they have to fall lose it?

To get three we need the top two to have a combined placements of 13 (or less)… after the short we’re sitting at 17

Oh. Deanna and max are 7th and Lia are 10. Ya the marks are sorta close but both teams have to bring it tomorrow but both have been up and down. That would be such be such a shame.
