2016 Cup of China Ladies FS

[Mrs. P]

Well now that the Shibs had exorcised its curse in China -- I guess it had to strike someone else. Sorry Ashley.

 

[cathlen]

Whaaaaat? Liza had 64 in PCS and Mai only 62???? Someone wanted Liza on that podium so much....

 

[nolangoh]

Oh no Mai why

 

[EdgeCall]

No tear please, Mai. You are still in the learning phase, you will be great.

 

[tulosai]

Poor girl. Three points away from podium. I guess Wagner's out of the GPF for good now, huh?

Yes there is literally no way for Ashley to realistically make the final now.

 

[MaiKatze]

Feel sorry for Mai. But she's still so juniorish so I cannot get too worked up about it.

 

[alvina9894]

Lena! Lena! :hap85:

 

[Crossover]

Underwhelming ladies FS segment. Mai's alarmed reaction to her score is heart-breaking.

 

[da96103]

Aww, Mai looked sad.

 

[Nathan13]

Well could it be like 4 Russians, Kaetlyn at this rate and either Wakaba/Satoko? Evgenia's already in - Elena will be in now that she's won this competition, Anna P, Maria S.?

I think it will be Anna P., Evgenia, Elena, (likely) Satoko, Kaetlyn and then either Maria S. or Wakaba--depending on who beats who at NHK.

 

[daphenaxa]

well I guessed Lena's place right. That's about it. I expected Kaetlyn to bomb more and Ashley to bomb less tbh

 

[Biellmann]

I so love Mai's program and music, she made me cry at Nebelhorn :no:

 

[Mrs. P]

However, GPF is not a requirement to get on the World Podium. Ask Anna P. or D10.

However, I'm concerned for the state of U.S. Ladies at the moment....I hope Karen Chen, Mirai Nagasu, Bradie Tennell and Mariah Bell give some hope at their respective comps next week.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

on a positive note for Kaetlyn : first time this year she lands both her opening big combos !!! happy with this... silver lining.. silver medal and gpf berth... happy camper here

Me too!! It's so exciting to have a Canadian woman in the GP Final!!

 

[ancientpeas]

GB is fired! I might have to go and deflate him.

So.. no Ashley in the GPF? That's shocking. I might have picked her to win here.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Ok, what does this reference to carrots mean? I think I missed the boat on that one.

The > used to show underrotations on the protocols are nicknamed 'carrots'. Shin Amano (one of the tech callers here) is known to be suuuuuuuuper strict about them

 

[Osmond4gold]

And Kaetlyn into her first Grand Prix final!!!

 

[gibbynka]

:-( I wanted Ashley to make the GPF 5th year in a row But I guess that can't happen now.

 

[da96103]

Ok, what does this reference to carrots mean? I think I missed the boat on that one.

Carrots means this <

No carrot is good
One carrot < is under-rotated.
Two carrots << is very under-rotated.

 

[Interspectator]

Poor Mai! But Well done Elizaveta and Elena! They both gritted it out and this is a good podium.
Mai has a lot to look forward to and she'll come back for nationals mad and ready to do better.
