If anyone has access to NBCSN, they will be airing the women's FS today at 1pm EST.
I cannot help it, but I start getting worried for Anna. Looks like she is skating against a lot of headwind here. In the SP she has done the same things as in the entire previous season so far in the same quality. Yet she has suddenly taken a hit in GOE in practically every element as well as in PCS. Her 3Lz-3T dropped from 11.50/11.70 in GPF/Euros to 10.80 at worlds. I cannot see why, the jumps look practically identical. At the same time Kaetlyn was raised from 11.00 to 11.40 for a combo which looked again the same.
The judges seem to say "See, Anna, we liked you all season long, but now at worlds we do not like you anymore." Weird. hwell:

Anna has impressed over and over again this season. Really, her growth in consistency and performance quality this year is astounding. I have my fingers crossed for a marvelous result for her. Success, Anna!The way the competition is going politically is very bad for Anna. May be subconciously the judges is pushing her out in prep for Alina. Also it is time to have a Canadian lady on the podium. Had Kaetlyn been healthy, she would be one of the podium finishers years ago already.
I want Anna to skate perfectly... so there can be no regret. You can't control the judging, but there's could at least be reasonable doubt upon reviewing.

I really want Japan to keep their three spots... But at the same time, I want US and Russia to keep three spots and Canada to earn three... Which is basically impossible. Or is there any potentionaly wild scenario in which all four countries would earn three spots?

I think Russian Nationals this year clearly showed Russian fed already considers Zagitova their #2 girl for next year. Yes this has an effect.
Would this be the first time in history 2 Canadian women have stood on the world podium together if they both hang on to medal? Anyone know.
I just hope Kaetlyn don't implode like at 4CC. This is her Silver if she want it.
I am still mad as hell how the judges dropped Zijun's sp pcs by 2 whole points since 4CC mere weeks ago when she had also upgraded her tech content here.
The judges were really stingey with the GOEs as well and her step sequence were marked level 2. Her 5th place FS at 4CC PCS was 55.66 (vs 58.13 4 years ago!!!), if it drops any further, I think this may very welll be her last competition.
i think both gabby and kaetlyn have learned from 4cc... and are still learning... so let's see to what extent but i don't think either will implode. will it perfect? who knows.. but implode, i doubt it.
