57.25 - 9th for Kimmie...WHAT?????!!!!

 

[sillylionlove]

WHAT!!!!! 9th......what the heck is going on with these judges? People have fallen and have scored higher. I guess the US will probably not have 3 spots next year. What a joke!!

 

[merrybari]

All I can say from having read the posts is this:

What's up with the judging - in ALL the disciplines - so far? And during the season for that matter. It's all over the map!!

Maybe they need to go back to Judging 101 and start over. There doesn't seem to be ANY consistency at all.

The skaters must be confused as H**L!! Hard enough to figure out the CoPs without all the mixed messages from the judges too.

 

[Jasper]

Wow, what a close top ten. The last two groups in the FS will be hotly contested!

I guess the judges are not a fan of Meissner, even when clean. Remember she thought she was undermarked in the GPF SP as well.

 

[mizu_iro]

All in all, a mixed bag today. A lot of WTF judging and some great skates, some not so great ones. At least it makes for an exciting long program - #1-9 are all in medal contention.

 

[rain]

Everyone from 3-9 are so tightly bunched they should be in medal contention with a good skate. Which makes me think, sadly, that the actual placements and skating order could end up being a deciding factor. I hope not.

 

[MissIzzy]

And here people were insisting the Americans were being held up...I'm starting to wonder if the team's jinxed.
Though she's less than four points out of third, if only because there are less than two points between third and eighth! I don't most of the placements mean much right now...

 

[*Sniper*]

Shoot, it seems more and more unlikely that US will be holding three spots for next year.
But good job, ladies, and let it all loose tomorrow!!!

Feel bad for Yuna.
She's had an exceptional season thus far, and to have the injury bug again when it matters the most must be so frustrating.
Best of luck tomorrow!

I agree. None of this makes sense!! It just doesn't.

Very little between 3rd and 8th- should be a great long. I can only assume that Meissner had an under-rotated jump it looked like a better programme than the placing suggested
