They could also do bad in their free, you can just asume they are gonna do great in the free
But at least they would be given a fair opportunity just like every other skater in the series.

OMG, couldn't they move faster? The skaters will have to wait for their decision till tuesday?Prevailing thought in Bordeaux is ISU Council will meet Tuesday to determine how Bompard results will be handled. Could be sooner, though.

It's not surrendering to violence. It's about government officials trying to maintain the safety of the athletes and showing respect to all those who work the event, and to all of France. They have no idea if any other attacks will occur and have declared the actions of ISIS a declaration of war. And posters are upset about the GPF and the use short program scores. Sad when the athletes themselves are showing understanding towards this decision, even if a GPF spot is at a loss. With 153 confirmed dead please keep in mind they didn't get to blow up the stadium as planned, there could have been so many more casualties.Even if I understand the reasons behind this, I don't think that surrendering to violence is the right choice: giving the signal that life goes on despite it would be the best, especially if the events are not in Paris itself. And there is of course the difficult matter of qualifying for GPF... Depriving skaters such as Liza or Chan of the chance to redeem themselves after an unsuccessful SP would not be fair, just as depriving all the competitors of the possibility of qualifying for GPF would :scratch3: (On a side note, I'm really sad for Roberta, who had just had one of her best skates ever :sad21: )
I don't think it's that unfair, to be honest. It just shows that one can't just let oneself screw up half of the competition. Not gonna lie, though, I'll be disappointed if I don't see Patrick in Barcelona.:no:
Why on earth it should be delayed?Um... what will happen with the skaters at TEB who are assigned to CoR as well? Will CoR be delayed?
There're not so many such skaters, of course for them the situation is quite bad. But it's not option to make situation worse for all others.Um... what will happen with the skaters at TEB who are assigned to CoR as well? Will CoR be delayed?
poor Liza & T/M if so!
They're def not in the final
unfair:sad21:
Satire doesn't take people's feelings into account. But they'll probably go easier on the French than the go on the Russians. I'm not a great fan of satire myself, but I respect it as an art movement. And when free countries are confroned with terrorism artistic freedom is so very important.Ask French people what would they think if there will be a caricature on people dying...
No, koatcue was refering to caricatures about the crash of the russian plane in egypt. They're not tasteful.Satire is ok when no double morals involved. I mean, will they / did they already publish something about the latest events?
I actually agree. They might go with force majeur this time, it was not their decision but it came from state authorities. If they say it was a force majeur then they can count SP result as final.I'll be pleasantly shocked if the ISU would spend anymore money still holding this event in a different form
if they can just make a rule out of the SP being the total score and be done with it
Not a wise man's words.Apparently Trankov suggested that if they only go by SP scores they should cancel the GP final altogether
