also we're not alone, the wonderful @lileychristie is sharing the highest step of the podium with us

Woke up to the bestest news

Btw, how did you all know each others' scores before CherylDee officially announced the winners a couple hours later? Don't tell me you've been counting people's scores manually

If you go to the prediction thread, sometimes you can click on results and they are already there... the official announcement sometimes comes right away, sometimes a bit later. In this occurence though, the results were in for only the first 3 disciplines but it was clear that nobody could catch you gals up... even with my perfect score in men . I was too far away LOL

I was watching on my phone yesterday, so this is coming very late, but maybe it helps someone:

JGPF Qualifying standings:
Qualified:

1. Rio NAKATA (JPN) - 15+15=30 (493.14)
2. Minkyu SEO (KOR) - 15+15=30 (479.72)
3. Habin CHOI (KOR) - 15+13=28 (459.45)
4. Taiga NISHINO (JPN) - 15+13=28 (452.85)

On the bubble:

1. Patrick BLACKWELL (USA) - 13+9=22 (415.32)
2. Genrikh GARTUNG (GER) - 11+11=22 (429.15)

Still to compete at their second JGP:

1. Sena TAKAHASHI (JPN) - 13 (225.84)
2. Grayson LONG (CAN) - 13 (221.71)
3. Denis KROUGLOV (BEL) - 13 (213.47)
4. Shun UEMURA (JPN) - 11 (212.55)
5. Lucius KAZANECKI (USA) - 11 (202.67)
6. Tonghe TIAN (CHN) - 9 (199.75)
7. Hiro KAEWTATHIP (THA) - 7 (182.70)

Realistically, all of these guys need at least a silver or even a gold to qualify for the JGPF. I'm sure someone else will work out all of the possibilities of how a bronze or lower could get someone through to the final, but with the concentration of prior medalists at JGP Abu Dhabi, those scenarios seem unlikely.

Realistically, I think only those with 13 or 11 points are in contention, and they would need to place either first on second. For a skater who currently has 13 points to qualify with a bronze, they would need to have only one other contender place ahead of them (i.e. either gold or silver would need to go to a skater who was not in contention for a final). It would not be possible for someone with 11 points to qualify with a bronze (unless none of the contenders took gold or silver) because Patrick Blackwell's second place would put him ahead of their two third places on the first tie break.
