Gabby and Larkyn have withdrawn. Apparently Dabin Choi is out as well.

Darn. Canada's really missing Kaetlyn right meow.

 

[SnowWhite]

Veronik Mallet and Alicia Pineault have replaced Larkyn and Gabby, as stated in the Skate Canada article.

Dabin Choi has withdrawn, Starr Andrews of the USA have replaced her. https://www.isu.org/docman-document...ries-2/17412-ladies-2018-19-all-6-events/file

I would actually love to see Med, Wakaba and Liza on the podium here in any order!

What I had expected, but still rather weird---US host-pick-newbie-senior-Starr Andrews rather than Eunsoo Lim or Kailani Craine.

Quid pro quo for Alaine Chartrand at SA??

I swear one day I'll learn to read these ISU schedules

Until then, can someone clarify if the Ladies SP starts Friday at 12:30 or at 20:45?
And also, does the Men's SP competition start at 10:00 or 15:52?

Local time (ET) obviously.

Ladies short starts at 20:45 on Friday. Basically, the solid color blocks are practices, while the color bars bracket the competition times.

I think this event will be as hard to predict as Skate America. Liza T. could win. It's crazy to think this is her 8th senior season.

Gosh...but didn't she turn senior when she was 15? I remember her first year on the GP. She was very cute and her jumps were insane.
I'm concerned about Wakaba, knowing she's injured again.

Mako should be 4th and Alaine and Alicia should be ahead of Starr

 

[AlexRus]

Mako should be 4th and Alaine and Alicia should be ahead of Starr

Yes, corrected.

 

[nguyhm]

I'm hoping for Liza and Mariah to be on the podium.

 

[moriel]

Thank you for this. As far as predictions, which Wakaba will show up? No way of knowing.

 

[CoyoteChris]

Looks like a really good group! Safe clean skates to everyone and may the nerve monsters not come out of the ice and grab skaters like they did at SA. Please clap a bit harder for my Mariah, Mrs P!

 

[zounger]

Good luck to all the ladies! An interesting event with a lot of details to look for.

Evgenia: I think will present a more improved LP and win this with 215-220 points.
Liza: I expect her to be second with 205-210 points.
Elizabet: two times in a row showed that she can score around 200. If clean she has big chances to medal here.
Wakaba: can even win this but with injures her status is unknown. I will keep my expectations low for her at the moment.
Mariah: big opportunity for her to medal if manages to have a relatively clean LP . She had a nice SP in Germany.

Mako, Alaine and Daria will fight for the top 6.
