  1. It certainly is cool that fans from SEA and SA countries are getting involved in FS!
  2. OK, this is probably fake lol: https://www.sport-express.ru/figure-skating/news/v-zayavke-rossii-na-chm-2019-uchastniki-che-v-minske-no-v-sostav-esche-mogut-vnesti-izmeneniya-1516545/ 3 spots for ID isn't true, iirc.
  3. Yeah, see, 3+3 for men: I assumed they'd let Gubanova be 3rd alternate.
  4. Yeah, a friend was telling me there would be 6? Maybe he was wrong though. This seems about right if they're going to be undecided. I assumed the 6th would be Gubanova.
  5. @sallycinnamoncorrected me right before you did
  6. I'd say Kolyada, Samarin, Kovtun Tukt, Zagi, Samodurova But they're going to be announced soon! I'm kinda shocked there haven't already been leaks, but I guess they were still waiting for Kolyada to perform and make both decisions at once? In all this, I forget, what are we getting for Pairs? B/K and T/M? ID is S/K and S/B, right?
  7. I will win, of course. Shh, keep it a secret I'm
  8. But then, according to the current rules + state of judging, bad quality "level 4 spins" will be called as such AND receive proportionally higher GOE
  9. Why? Currently, what happens is that even with bad quality positions and edges, skaters get high levels. If the requirements are lowered, the skaters can focus on what they are capable of doing with higher quality. Reward difficulty and quality through GOE. Otherwise, what can happen is take the same level requirements, but make sure the GOE rewards are the same across all the levels. So people who are simply not yet at the level of doing level four spins and steps are deducted in BV, but the GOE they get for practising to deliver what they have with quality is worth the effort. Otherwise, skaters just labour through low quality level four elements, without respect to quality. This would ideally also come with PCS rewards, because your making it all look stronger and effortless. It takes hardwork. I don't think PCS needs to be touched anymore, but we'll see.
  10. That could work. But at the end, nothing matters as long as the judging stays the same. I think 6 jumps plus lower level requirements would be great as long as the judges actually judge quality. So six big jumps, great positions and edge quality, and great performance and musicality in four minutes is physically exhausting, like a sport should be.
  11. That pic makes me want a dog lol. I don't even like pets.
  12. Might be a UO: I'm fine with the 4 min mark for men. I just want another jump gone, and level requirements to be more sensible. If the level requirements won't ever make sense, then keep the jumps, dump a spin.
  13. It would be a shame to see Tukt off the team in favor of Med, after the way they each delivered all season.
  14. I'm glad someone appreciates Classic Chinese technique, then. But what I gather is that this is some promotion for worlds? Although your guess about why he's comparable to Van Gogh is about as good as I could ever come up with without knowing Japanese.
  15. It definitely seems mechanically hard! It's why I asked if anyone here had attempted it, so I could even understand what happens.
  16. But toeless equivalents of flip and toeloop already exist
