  1. Let's add streaming party ideas here for the off-season!
  2. True, if everyone just gradually jumped smaller then the average would keep decreasing. But either way they should be willing to define, using past and present "averages", some standards for the height bullet point
  3. I don't see how it makes no sense. They're saying that a quad has an average height and so does a 2A, and those average heights are probably very different. So it shows that averages matter.
  4. @Old Cat Lady thank you so much for doing this! it was really fun
  5. Ill check to see if there's a plugin for it.
  6. LOL the license plate that's extra
  7. We're looking into it, hopefully it will be fixed soon.
  8. Hi, sorry I'm not sure what you mean. What is usually written underneath? I don't remember haha Was it the name of the post or something?
  9. I don't believe 4A is allowed in the SP, only 3A or 2A. But yeah, getting buried in the SP is much worse, because it affects your starting order and thus your PCS for the free among other psychological reasons. They do say "You can't win the competition in the SP, but you can lose it."
  10. hey seems like after the update there are some issues (as well as with bookmarks etc.), i'll look into them!
  11. I agree, I think Med's 2A HAS improved but in practice, not in competition, yet. It's clear she gets nervous in competition so she reverts back to her old technique; maybe given time, the changes she made in practice will "stick." (Same with the 3S.) ETA: either way I'm really excited for all these layout upgrades next season regardless. It's a bit boring to see 3Lz-3T be the hardest element, and 7 triples, every time XD
  12. I'm guessing: 1. It may be easier to add a rotation than to fix basic takeoff technique. I can see that a skater may actually find it easier to do a quad than to go back to jumping basics after a lifetime of muscle memory. 2. In the end, there are ladies doing quads and getting full credit for them with equally not-ideal technique. Unfortunately not every skater has the legacy, the financial backing, and the fanbase to focus on things that don't get awarded by the judges if funding/sponsorship/spots/opportunities are once in a lifetime and gone in a flash if they do not win medals. Not to mention, the health to do so. Yuzu is a one in a million here, IMO. 3. If Medvedeva learns a quad even with PR and UR I think it will help with her issues on her triple. Just like I'm sure she can jump a double toe with not much PR by itself, if she can get a consistent 4T then it would probably improve lift/rotation with her 3T. 4. The jumps you posted are all combinations. Her 3S is a little bit better than that on its own, but she needs to keep it low to control the landing for her 3Lo. So yeah, I think she can get more height than that. 5. Medvedeva is basically forced to add quads if she's skating for Russia. Quads or perish, basically.
  13. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/2019/04/03/us-figure-skating-needs-immediate-change/3352261002/ Sounds like USFS knows more about this than we do, and there are a lot of issues that haven't been made public
  14. It's a pretty dark dot, so I'd say it's more than one satellite
  15. Updated PH demographics (not the most accurate locations, since they're taken from signup IPs which only roughly maps to locations AND people use VPNs but this just gives a general sense of things!)
  16. I got one of this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Z73V3S/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I might buy another
