Geez, that's a lot of skaters! Seeing as how I'd have to wake up at 5am to catch the whole competition, I think I'll just time it so I can watch the last 3 groups...
Actually over 90% already, since Korpi cannot do 3-3. Meite has 5%Russian 1, 2, 3? I'd say 88% chance.
Give her more time. Right now I think she would rather do 3axel than 3lz3t. It caused her too much trouble last season. She needs time to forget about it.Come on Liza, even Ashely YES I CAN@T BELIEVE Grannie ASHLEY managed to pull out TWO miraculous geriatric 3lz3t!! That is a proper champion like attitude. It is time for you to upgrade, or get my hate! I love you darling, but you are making it very difficult for me to support you.
Well, consistency is a great quality that shows true athletic abilities and true extremely hard work. Even mediocre consistency is something deserving a lot of appreciation. Therefore "consistent mediocre" are more respectable than "just mediocre".Mediocrity done consistently and pretend it is anything other than mediocre.
I definitely cheering for Anna too!Although I am totally supporting Anna!!!!
Russian 1, 2, 3? I'd say 88% chance.
Urgh this event is going to be so predictable... otherwise known as Russian boosting time for WC or let's Eurotrash the Americans and the rest of the world... because WE CAN!!!
Russian 1, 2, 3? I'd say 88% chance.
Someone plz proof me wrong!!! Please no more ridiculous 3T3T hitting 70s+ in the short.

Things I really DISLIKE in this sport are:
Overmarking
Federation buffered PCS
Mediocrity done consistently and pretend it is anything other than mediocre.
Over hype
Skaters downgrade their programs (tech content / transition movements) to make it easier without affecting their PCS, relying on reputation from previous results that has nothing to do with what went on the ice ON THE DAY.
Over thinking on calculated risks.
Political motivated judging.
European Championships has traditionally had the worst over marking in history. I am kind of dreading it....
Although I am totally supporting Anna!!!!

I wonder why there is so much objection to a Russian sweep? Is it because it is a sweep - or is it because it is a Russian sweep? Would people regard a sweep by another country as quite so... repugnant? Just curious...

I love me some mediocrity done consistently. That's why I love Nam Nguyen. :yes:Mediocrity done consistently and pretend it is anything other than mediocre.

Surely you're not saying Liza's 3T-3T, 3Lz, or 2A are anywhere close to 'mediocre'?
Wow, thanks!Also - it's early, but here's the link to watch the ladies' competition on Sweden's fabulous TV4 (first time I've ever been able to stream without any freezing issues whatsoever, and picture quality is great):

I give credit to Wagner for trying, but are you really saying that she should flutz and U, or double foot? Will you be OK with Wagner's national inflation scores like, or you will be still singing: The russian are trashing because they can?
Are you really saying that Wagner's tech is better than Liza's, or any of the Russian top girls for that matter?
