Any streaming link for this event? Thanks!
It depends what country you're in since some have streaming rights and others don't.

If you go to the ISU page on YouTube do you see any upcoming live streams available?
 
Im in the Philippines and there is no current live stream for ISU's youtube channel.

Is there any alternative link?
 
Hmm I'd check the ladies thread, I'm in Australia so SBS here is live streaming.

Otherwise if you know about VPNs you can set yours to Ukraine, or Peru, or Argentina and then go back to YouTube and the official ISU live stream link should show up.
 
I have to go to bed but here's some info on Sasha's last practice before the FS.


Very nervous times! I'm not sure what to do when I wake... Should I watch Sasha's skate right away? Or look up the result first? Maybe come here?

Oh well, here's the comment I wrote for Sasha:

Good luck to Sasha!!! May she skate her best and be proud because we fans will always be proud of her. 🥰
 
Forecasting based on jump success rates across all practices so far, she should win. Liza will not go for quads, Kihira didn't even attempt quads or 3A in practice this morning and is prone to URs, Shcherbakova fell on every single quad she attempted during her run-throughs for 3-4 days in a row now, and even on some triples. The other ladies have too low BVs.
May you turn out to be a good prophet!
Although, as for myself, I don't make any predictions any more.
Just wishing Sasha a wonderful skate that she is happy with and proud of!
Let us see her smile and rejoice (hopefully on the (top of) the podium...) :pray:
 
Yes...

Although after the pairs today I have no hope.

Has Sasha practiced since the SP? I'm too afraid to go to Insta and look.
What about pairs? Didnt the top Russian team win gold?

I'm sure Sasha practiced today. But I haven't seen the video. I think if she lands a couple quads tomorrow she moves way up in the placements.
The bronze that felt like gold.
What? Sasha went from 12th to 3rd? I don't think I've ever seen that and figure skating and it may never have happened before.

Congratulations to Sasha on worlds bronze. She saved her first world championship. What would a normal SP of say 76 points have done for her chances for gold?
 
She would be close to 230, so silver, and within roughly 3 points of gold. 3A and/or another landed quad, and she would have grabbed the gold. Congrats in any case. Her chances of making the Olympic team have increased exponentially over the past few hours.
Thanks.


Sashas biggest point scoring weapons are in the free skate so why not just do normal stable short program next season and and lighted up with the points in the free skate?

She must be so relieved to have gone from 12 to 3rd. I don't think I've ever seen that in figure. Going from 7th to 3rd is very rare.

I'm a bit shocked now that a "normal" SP wouldn't have given her the gold, but too lazy to do the maths.
Anyway, Sasha is on a great path to peaking in the Olympic season!
 
The parallels between Sasha and Nathan are real :o Well done! And it was so good to see the 4F back.

Yeah, she wasn't far off from landing one more quad in her free. The falls on 4S and 4Lz and downgrade on 4T combo looked like exhaustion or a lapse in concentration. With further rest and training over the summer, I can definitely see her managing at least 4 quads in the long and a clean no-3A SP next season.
 
Even of the outcome is not what she would have hoped for, here are the positives:

* Regained 4F and landed it successfully
* Regained 4Lz and landed one successfully, in combination with a triple jump
* Landed 4T in combination with a triple jump in the second half of the program

Amazing improvement in the space of a few months, and a clear upward trajectory. At this rate she is well-positioned to replicate Nathan's post-2018 career path.
So be it!!
 
Congratulations to Sasha!

I actually forced myself to watch her skate after waking up early - not that I don't love her skating, but I was so nervous!

I was so amazed by her trying the 5 quads! But I was pretty sure she wouldn't make the podium and it was like 6am Aussie time and I was tired so went back to sleep.

I just woke up and I see she not only won the free she won bronze!

That's incredible! Is that the biggest comeback in figure skating history?!

I hope Sasha is happy and super proud of herself!

And when she gets home her brothers hold a big party for her ☺️
 
Congrats for the comeback! I'm a bit bitter about these worlds, but I'm glad she got a medal in the end. I really hope she will peak next season and win the olympics.

p.s. I enjoyed her programs this season and I'm looking forward to the next ones. Powerful, epic music for FS works for me.
