I moved all of this to a new thread (linked above) but still quoting it here because of how important it is :)

For all the technical problems we bring up about the russian quadsters, their quads are still miles better than Alysa's.

It really needs a thread...

Starting this thread for discussing this interview

could be translated as "Since young / Since I started skating, I've never been the type of skater that could land these kind of jumps." What was described as "rotating down below" could mean "No matter how hard I practice, I can't rotate my blades on the ice before jumping" Maybe "rotating down below" = "rotating down on the ice" versus "rotating up in the air"?

Yayy!!! https://twitter.com/InTheLoPodcast/status/1188681837016539136?s=19

Wow the shade

someone should start this exact poll for every upcoming competition

YOU WERE ALL WRONG

Weird, does anyone else have this problem? >< (I use chrome and it works fine)

Thanks for doing this!!!

Thanks everyone who submitted banners!! Please vote!

I'm sorta interested in waiting til after SC to see if there are any good high quality photos of both of his new costumes. And his EX costume. because it's just in a few days, there's no harm in waiting a few extra days...

well... i didn't expect that. maybe there's something else going on? oh well, i won't speculate. i mean, there's only so many seasons until the next Olympics, and as a skater you only have so many years, whereas you can go to school whenever you retire. but i respect his decision and am glad it's not an injury.

I think if Alina skates clean she will still go. She needs to be crystal clean though. The question is, which of the 3A will she bump off the team? I feel like the ISU should eventually change the spots requirement but that's just me. instead of taking spots from the smaller feds, just make it harder for large feds to get 3 spots. sum of top 3 <= 8: 4 spots (pretty damn hard to get but at least it exists for the case if, say, Russian skaters sweep the podium or something) sum of top 2 <= 12: 3 spots (also difficult) sum of top 2 <= 18: 2 spots if one skater: top 10: 2 spots basically you can only get n+1 more skater if you already have n skaters, no jumping from 1 to 3.

Does anyone know why some elements that SHOULD have 0 GOE (after dropping the highest and lowest scores) get something other than 0 GOE?

we prob won't have time to make it for SC since that's in a week, but we do have time to make it for GPF, sure. I'll try to photoshop it tomorrow.

should I just retweet it or retweet it with a comment? If so what comment?

What a random draw!!

hooray!

This is so cool! Do you want the PH account to tweet about it or if you have a tweet, we can retweet it? Just so you can get more interest in your very comprehensive analysis!

Seems the confusion is on twitter as well:

But CBC's site doesn't show any mention of GPs? https://www.cbc.ca/sports/video/figure-skating
