Just watched Cynthia's SP on youtube. It was great. I looked for Makarova's, but I couldn't find it. Sad to see Fumie down at the back of the pack.
You could try looking at the ISU rulebook with their 1001 changes to level requirements and GoE every season! Not easy to keep track of but certainly something interesting to do in the off season! It's actually quite straightforward and kinda fun to try and score programmes. I like the IJS better than 6.0 for that reason; at least I know how skaters are scored and why. Never understood how judges decided what was worth a 6.0 and another a 5.8.
The FS should be VERY exciting! And so far so good for my predicted podium!
Amelie looks like Meryl Davis of the USA except she has bright blue Paul Newman eyes. Nice skate, good job, my favorite part was how she hung on to the 3R/2R combo. (edge jumps are my favorite, especially the axel & the loop).
MY GOSH, I honestly cannot get over how much Cynthia Phaneuf & Agnes Zawadzki look alike in *everything*, literally! Same face, same body, same height on jumps, same style, et al. Except Cynthia has a way better program imho. Obviously will be in 1st place.
I guess whomever lands the most jumps in the FS will win the competition,
That was a 3R/3R combo., which I mistakenly called a 3R/2R in one of my prior posts and subsequently apologized for, as the step-out & hand down afterward threw me off a bit.that was a 3Lo-3Lo combo
Me too, I prefer the whole picture, ala Yuna Kim, Mao Asada, Oksana Baiul.I hope not.
Phaneuf: landed the jumps, but only did a solo 3T (3Lz-2t) Rocked the footwork, okay spins. Should go into first - the 3-3 combo of the rest was easy and her GOEs for the jumps should be good.
