Team Korea owns Ina Bauers right now.Gasp! Ted I love ya and Imma let you finish.
But Jun has the best Ina Bauer of all time. Of. All. Time!
lastmay depends on where they are in the standings
Maddie was wonderful, a beautiful, fierce Black Swan.. She is determined.. methinks she thrives under intense challenge and in a team atmosphereHaen Lee was exquisite. Odd errors from Mai and Kaori. That might cost them. THe Americans were well in my opinon solid but unspectacular. Maddie from Canada a pleasant surprise and memories of the Olympics - maybe she skates better in team situations??? Because of the individual skating components of WTT - S Korea is a strong contender for bronze.
I dont see anything particularly exquisite about Haein Lee SP. Her high marks seem to stem from her being consistent lately and being silver medallist not because she is artistically exceptional. She has good ice coverage and speed but otherwise the program is like plain bread. It is emotionless apart from the few seconds she randomly smiled because she was having a clean skate. There is no choreo movement you can pinpoint as being unique just lots of random arm waving. And the music is cut in random mess. Skates like this makes me wonder people are too harsh on Danill G sometimes. Yes he does a lot of repetitive crap but Kamila's Storm program was actually choreographicaly decent. There were lots of musical nuances throughout and Kamila did a great job in relaying them.Haen Lee was exquisite. Odd errors from Mai and Kaori. That might cost them.

Sadly last....I am just going to say it even though I will get backlash... I wish Skate Canada had sent Kaiya.last
I think Sara-Maude had a honorable performance. She held it together despite not a stellar performance. Kaiya may have scored slightly better but not necessarily. However, Gogolev was a disaster. Keegan also didn't deliver. Gogolev scored less than Sara-Maude and he benefits from the PCS higher ratio. 49 points for a man is a tragedy...Sadly last....I am just going to say it even though I will get backlash...

it was at the olympic team event where she beat many seasoned competitors and allowed Canada to move on.Maddie was wonderful, a beautiful, fierce Black Swan.. She is determined.. methinks she thrives under intense challenge and in a team atmosphere
I think she participated in the last WTT and stunned everyone

I am sad to admit this, but I have lost all hope in Gogolev...I think Sara-Maude had a honorable performance. She held it together despite not a stellar performance.

She deserved higher!!!!Wow Maddie really nice score.
I would have had Maddie above Isabeau, and maybe above Kaori-Maddie's jumps were the best today-light high and easy.Wow Maddie really nice score.
I wonder about Gogolev, too. It was an extraordinary growth spurt. He's a whole different human. I don't know that I can remember seeing any skater change so much so fast. I wonder if he can figure it out from there.I am sad to admit this, but I have lost all hope in Gogolev...
Maddie was fantastic! and Sara indeed had honorable performance.
Have not watched yet all the performances though.
After reading your comment, I went and looked at Stephen from this years Nationals. If they hadn't said his name, I never would have known it was him.I wonder about Gogolev, too. It was an extraordinary growth spurt. He's a whole different human. I don't know that I can remember seeing any skater change so much so fast. I wonder if he can figure it out from there.
Haein was amazing! Wonderful step sequence and skating skills. Deserved first place with this kind of score.I dont see anything particularly exquisite about Haein Lee SP.

nam nguyen and roman sadovsky are two others who changed tons... nam lost his jumps... never retrieve his quad toe... roman has his issues... stephen had secure quad lutz, toe,and salchow.. now he runs a popcorn factory.I wonder about Gogolev, too. It was an extraordinary growth spurt. He's a whole different human. I don't know that I can remember seeing any skater change so much so fast. I wonder if he can figure it out from there.
I really feel for him. To know how to do the jumps and not have them work with his adult body has to be so frustrating and demoralizing.I wonder about Gogolev, too.
