Very interesting listening to Eurosport commentary - Simon and Chris are suddenly talking about edges, underrotations, (not pre rotations tho), how spins might not be valid - really looking at every element in detail - never heard them do this before.....is this in preparation for the last group??

BTW I am watching Eurosport but would rather watch another stream so I am not counted in numbers watching for final group - is it on live.qq.com for me to switch to for final group?

alternatively they'll stop talking about it when we get to final group to give the impression that the top skaters don't have these problems and therefore deserve much higher points

Go, Alexia!!! 

still not impressed with anyone's skating skills since I started watching, but I think Alexia is probably the best performer of the last 3

I was quite pleasantly surprised by Mariah Bell and that...Young woman with the French song, sorry I can't remember her name ^^'

Go Yelim my lovely.

I mean, I just started watching with Safonova, I wouldn't be surprised if there were better people from earlier. I remember Mana's skating skills being quite impressive

Unlikely to see streaming on liveqq. Olympic quite strict on streaming.  They haven't been streaming any comp afaik.

Standings after the first 3 groups, they will qualify for the free skate:

 

1   GUBANOVA - 65.40       
2   BELL - 65.38   
3   BREZINOVA - 64.31   
4   SCHOTT   - 63.13   
5   KAWABE - 62.69    
6   SAFONOVA  - 61.46   
7    MIKUTINA  - 61.14    
8    PAGANINI - 61.06    
9    SCHIZAS - 60.53    
10  KIIBUS - 59.55    
11  van ZUNDERT - 59.24  
12  FEIGIN - 59.16

 

+ Jenni Saarinen if Valieva finishes in top 24

I kind of want Valieva to skate clean and break WR just to definitively show how ridiculous this whole situation is.

If she does get suspended in the end, what will happen to all her (previous) WRs, will they still stand?

I mean WR are not official designations. But I imagine all her past results within the relevant period will be invalidated.

Just an awful situation for all the other girls.  Seems so unfair that the prioritise Kamila over all the other competitors.

 so proud of Eliska, from my country, such a good placement, even placing higher than Mana from Japan at least here in the short is a huge accomplishment

oh a lot of skaters I rather care about in this group
