2015 U.S. International Figure Skating Classic SLC General

[tulosai]

I don't have IN this year (pretty much throwing money away for people who don't live in the USA) so I'm not gonna be able to watch live,but I'll hang out on the thread and hope someone is nice enough to give a play-by-play or at least general summaries of what is happening

Anyone have any notes about the senior ladies practice.

Karen and Angela have been skating at other rinks. Karen looks good.I havent seen Mariah Bell.

They weren't at their practice time? I thought that was to get a feel for the arena. Oh well... How were Karen's jumps?

Per ISU rules seniors "are not allowed to practice on any session other than the official sessions listed on the event schedule after you are accredited or after the first practice session of your event has happened" so they should go to the next official practice even if they have practiced elsewhere so far. (Not sure exactly what accredited means- maybe someone else can clarify this?)

They havent had official ice yet, so they can skate where ever they want to. They also did skate at the rink on rink offered freestyle ice. Karen has been here since Monday or Tuesday and she skated today at a rink 30 minutes away. Its common to not want to skate with a ton of skaters.

If only they charged a lower fee for international subscriber, or had a special deal for the internstional classic.
I am not paying a $50US subscription for one competition

I'm worried about the camera-work for this event.

Seriously. The stream also isn't as good as it should be (or at least hasn't been in previous years) considering the price. I guess based on previous posts in this thread you can make it better by clearing a lot of things on your computer but that shouldn't be mandatory for a functioning stream for 50 dollars. The video posted after the fact is great though but the stream has sometimes been so wonky. So basically don't feel too bad

36.44 for Adel Tankova and Evgeni Krasnopolski.

 

[tulosai]

46.64 for Grenier and Deshamps.

Any information on K/O's skate? I don't have wifi and live streaming uses too much data so I can't watch. :no:

 

[semosk8tfan]

Wow, after watching the JGP stream this is pathetic and this costs money!! Get it in gear IN

Their score is 54.30 and they are in first right now. That's all I know.

 

[semosk8tfan]

Tarah fell on her jump, the program needs mileage but I like it a lot. It also looks like she is skating with a knee bandage.

54.30 score

Sad to hear that in all these years it hasn't improved...

 

[Layback11]

54? Not terrible, but...not what I expected. Did they fall or something?

 

[charmblade]

K/O's short is giving me paso doble flashbacks from last season She fell on the SBS jump, otherwise a clean skate. She did NOT look happy with the score though

 

[tulosai]

I actually think this score is decent for them with a fall and at the beginning of the season... but maybe that's just me...

 

[semosk8tfan]

They had some issues besides the fall: the twist was not as clean or as high as I have seen them do and I don't think she got her head low enough on the death spiral. (and I know this stuff matters because I have been learning from the JGP commentary!)

The JGP has lowered my standards. I have forced myself to think that 50 and above is a good score because I would not be able to watch the JGP without this mentality.
