snowflake!!!!!! Thanks so much, the link is working for me (that is, if Ian Martinez just skated....)

 

[lise]

poor Ian..just not having a good skate. Hope his ankle gets better soon!

Hoping that Eladj, Shawn, Joey and Patrick skate great! I'm not a fan of Kevin's but I hope he skates better than last night

 

[babayaga]

Yay

Thanks it works!!!

Martinez

he sprained his ankle a week before Canadians, he double 2 jumps and no 3A there. Very unfortunate timing.

He came in 3rd. He looked so disappointed.

ETA: Or rather the top 5 in each discipline and level?

I know that the Top 5 in each discipline at the senior-level receive funding.

 

[seniorita]

who is the man commenting?

 

[lise]

Mrs P, top 5 is the only way to get funding adn GP events where of course skaters can earn moneyl. Apart from that, they are on their own. Had quite the discussion with a skater before about the cost of skating.

 

[Mrs. P]

who is the man commenting?

Isn't it Kurt Browning?

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

The commentators just commented that only the top 5 get funding. Is it really only the top 5 senior men that get funding? Or is there other ways to get it?

ETA: Or rather the top 5 in each discipline and level?

Everyone on the National team gets funding, which is the top five seniors in each discipline. I really don't know how much funding juniors get.

Interesting. That really sucks for those who have a bad night...

Kevin's on!

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Reynolds doubled the salchow. Landed his 3A. The World is upside down.

I guess it's interesting to me given the more complicated formula that USFS uses...

 

[MrScroogeMcDuck]

Have two different feeds going. (One of Canadian Nationals and one of U.S.) Did my ears deceive me or did she just mispronounce Strauss?

 

[Mrs. P]

Woah, freak fall on the footwork!

 

[CdnSkateWatcher]

Reynolds just splatted in the footwork ...

 

[lise]

ok, Kevin made too many mistakes to relaly contend for second. 2 jumps were under rotated plus the fall on the footwork

 

[katia]

REALLY freak.
and before it was getting better and better

 

[Layfan]

Yay

Radio Canada International

hurray! thanks snowflake.

Oh, but I clicked on just in time to see Kevin's rough skate. Poor guy.

 

[emma]

well, my heart breaks for Kevin. Not the opening he wanted as the quads weren't there; then a wierd fall on footwork, that at first, I thought was intentional until I saw him scrambling to get up....on a postive note, I like the package here: the costume, hair, music, and choreo are all great for him. I hope he can brush this off and perservere!
