2019 World Championships Ladies Free Skate

[Mishaminion]

Raf handed her her guards and walked away and was visibly icy in the K&C. The camera didn't catch him saying a single word to her.

Neither guy said a word. Eunsoo didn't either.

Considering all that's happened it was probably best for them not to say a word, because you just know everything from their lips would become part of it all.

So no, i don't think there was a snub, but a deliberate attempt to keep things behind closed doors at this moment.

Guys..not the time or place to debate the Eunsoo-Mariah-Raf issues please. Let us wait until we get an official comment from Eunsoo please.

I desperately need a shower and some booze but I'm waiting for her official statement, thank you ancientpeas

Only 1 < called for under-rotation for top 10 ladies in free skate (Evgenia's 2A).

I see some truly wild judging in there.

 

[elbkup]

It was six men of Indostan,
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.

The First approach'd the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
"God bless me! but the Elephant
Is very like a wall!"

The Second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried, -"Ho! what have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me 'tis mighty clear,
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!"

The Third approach'd the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
"I see," -quoth he- "the Elephant
Is very like a snake!"

The Fourth reached out an eager hand,
And felt about the knee:
"What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain," -quoth he,-
"'Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!"

The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said- "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!"

The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Then, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
"I see," -quoth he,- "the Elephant
Is very like a rope!"
And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!

MORAL,

So, oft in theologic wars
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean;
And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen!

BEAUTIFUL. ..

I 100% agree. Regardless, it'll be interpreted by many already angry about this as a snub especially since he talked to Mariah when he handed her her guards.

Evgenia would be second if not for some eye raising judging imo

Different ways of dealing with things. Either way nobody can win, because someone gets angry.
My non skating fan friends think it's a boring sport, oh my if only they knew

 

[P44]

Why isn't Alina at the press conference ?

 

[IloveFS]

So proud of Alina, Rika, Elizabeth, and Mariah! Mariah with her graceful skate, Elizabeth with her 4S, Rika with her 3A-3T combo, and Alina shutting everyone down skating like that under pressure!!! This worlds was out of this world! :hap93:

No edge calls either... Also, don't forget all today's Ys in the dance pattern... Its a World champ, everybody skate clean

 

[Fruitpie]

Dream podium for me.
Also Mariah, what a fighter!

 

[Leonardo]

Have Team Eteri ever looked so happy in the kiss & cry lol? They were overjoyed.

Congrats to everyone for a wild, unpredictable, and entertaining skate. Yes I'm sad my fave didn't win... or podium (that half-point difference between Rika and Zhenya is gonna start some discussion ) but c'est la vie.

Indeed. I'm sad for Rika and happy for Zhenya. But in the end, Rika sealed her fate with the pop and the fall on her 3A. I accept it.

Agree.

I don't understand why others were not handed a < and she was.

Lilbet I'd be okay with her 4S because it was very close and super impressive, but some other underrotations were just blatant and didn't get called.

It's like when 6.0s were going out of fashion....they couldn't give them away for free fast enough.

Lol if you want to talk about the < calls we can also talk about how on earth she got 2.1 GOE for a flutz. But w/e, I'm happy to accept that the lenient judging balanced out for the most part and results are OK as is.

This is kinda a random and crazy thought - but seems like Benoit may have bad karma or something since he tweeted negatively about Alysa winning US Nationals.

Bradie and Kaori haven’t been doing as well since - no podiums. Not sure who else he choreographed for.

It's like when 6.0s were going out of fashion....they couldn't give them away for free fast enough.

And last years WC when the +3/-3 were getting replaced. S/M’s GOE was out of control.
