2019 World Championships Ladies Short Program

Good effort from Marina. She should have a fighting chance to make the FS with that, depending on PCS.

Hongyi got hosed! What's the likely score threshold for qualifying for the free?

Edit: Looks like last year the cut off ended up around 50 points. Hope Hongyi makes it with room to spare!

If Hongyi doesn't make it in, then we are in store for the best night of skating we've ever seen! [emoji39]

Is there a kind soul that has a link that isn't the Eurosport that's geoblocked?

Bangin first group! Hai România! Nice Julia!

 

[jillredhand]

Wow, Julia Souter! Man, I love watching early flights. All kinds of skaters you never pay attention to otherwise, but who go out and give great skates that you didn't expect to see. These early skaters are all doing great jobs proving they deserve to be here.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Wow Julia's got a good shot at a Q as well!

For us Aussie fans, SBS is doing live streaming, just can't get it to work yet! https://www.sbs.com.au/topics/sport...-world-championships-streaming-live-sbs-sport

So SBS Australia is supposed to be live streaming this, but I can't find it on the website so I've had to pretend to be Russian.

Hmm, is that Elena Radionova commentating on Sportsbox.RU?!

PS: Ooo Japan's brought the fancy graphics for jump heights, distance and exit speed, I like!

 

[kevinVchicago]

Nice one from Valentina too! Wow.

That was a fantastic first group. Kind of gutted that Kropa had that random fall. Her skate was wonderful and sadly the placement won't reflect it. What bad luck.

Maman came home earlier than expected, was force-fed a late lunch. I broke a plate doing the dishes, I'm pretending to be Greek and say it's going to bring good luck. What did I miss?

Let's pray this trend of surprisingly wonderful skates from everyone continues! New season's best for EVERYBODY!!!

Great early flight! Only one fall, and only one 3-2 instead of 3-3 (I think?) Good start to the event.

why do they resurface the ice after 1 st group?

So that the last two groups go without a resurfacing break in between.

An amazing first group! Hongyi Chen was on fire. 58.53 and she should have gone 60+! At this rate, the higher ranked ladies are going to have to really hold it together in order to qualify to the FS.

Ooo Sportsbox.RU or maybe it's Match is replaying some Pairs SPs!

I hope I get to see T/M I was at a work conference thing today so couldn't watch (very sad about that).

Indeed, whenever I try it it just shows me what's on SBS Vice, which appears to be some Japanese dating show? Right country, wrong content!

Hope they get it going for Kailani, I want to give SBS page hits so they know figure skating is been watched!

Anyway ice resurfacing is killing me as it is almost 3 am here
