That is a shocker! Perhaps she has not yet fully recovered from her injuries?
But really 3,4, & 5 are not too far apart. However, I don't see how she can catch Daleman unless Daleman completely implodes in the LP.

Any videos of Kaetlyn's FS? I've only seen her FS at that summer competition where she kinda bombed...
I have the live streaming feed & watched all the Senior Ladies last night.
Basically in Kaetlyn's short she stepped out of her 3T/3T, fell on the 3F & stepped out of her 2A.
Her 3F got downgraded.
Also all of her spins were only level 3.
Gabrielle landed her 3Lz/3T in both the short & long programs. If she had not fallen on one of the triples at the end, she would have beaten Kaetlyn.
I'm happy to see that Gracie wasn't really overscored: 27 and 60 PCS is probably similar to what she would receive in international competitions
Kaetlyn was overscored in the short. She received the highest PCS in the Short with TWO bad step-outs that should have been -2 GOE's across the board, not -1's and then a really bad fall. As well all her spins were slow and level 3. Daleman on the other hand just had a minor mistake on her opening 3Lz+3T combo as she ran out room it was so huge and then had level 4 spins and great speed. Also Daleman was not huffing and puffing at the end of her program, but received 26 for her PCS.
I did not realize that the heaviness of a skater's breathing was supposed to be reflected in the PCS mark. You learn something new every day.
No not directly, but if you are fatigued then your Transition/Linking Footwork and Performance/Execution will be greatly affected as with Osmond in the short. All her spins we off. Her flying sit was not well executed (should not have been level 3 as her leg did not come up high enough) and her final change of combination spin there was a major wobble when she went from a sit position to a cross biellmann spin, as well as major travelling during the execution of the spin. These two spins should not have received should any +GOE's and the poor execution of these spins should have been reflected in her PCS marks more. Also she was very slow at the end of her program and was really labouring at the end. All of which is due to poor conditioning which is evident in her heavy breathing at the end of her program.
Now I know hohoho is going to jump on me AGAIN. Again I like Osmond, but I DON'T like seeing a top skater GIVEN marks just because she is the Canadian Champion. Yes I know she has been injured and this has affected her training, but that doesn't mean the caller and the rest of the panel should over-look these obvious mistakes in her program. I hope she is in top form at Nationals and earns the marks there and then goes to Sochi as she has done a lot for Ladies skating in Canada - earning 6 JGP spots, 2 JW spots 2 yrs ago as a Junior and last year earning Canada 2 spots at the Olympics.
From the protocols she was not given top marks. I believe she was 11 points behind in the short. For a skater that usually receives 60-70 points in her short, I believe that 50 is quite low. What score do you think she should have received?
