Of course. I didn't mean that she was tentative to show but rather that her ability to deliver is tentative as her shoulder could give out at any time.

If she's having repeated dislocations, she's going to need surgery to fix it. So yeah, I'd say she looks tentative.

They've been doing it like that for years now for TV, so that they can show the final flights live. And yeah, it's rude.

The problem with Skate America is that it's generally not a profitable event - it's a lot of work for very little return. Nationals is a different story, but USFS keeps shifting the risk to the LOC by requiring an increasingly larger guaranteed minimum payout.

It's ridiculous that Alysa Liu, the reigning World and GPF champion, is ranked 5th, behind two other U.S. women that she has consistently beaten over the past year.

LOL - should have read the whole thread before posting. :saint:

Polina Edmunds would like a word. ;)

They have camera footage of the same car in both neighborhoods around the time of each shooting. The perp and the MIT professor were both Portuguese nationals of the same age who went to school together and both were physics majors, so he certainly looks good for the MIT killing. And the perp...

The shooter was apparently a Portuguese national and a student at Brown (even though he was in his late 40's) so maybe that's the tie to the MIT professor who has killed, since he was Portuguese.

I had no idea they were returning to having the lower levels at Nationals.

I completely understand your lament, but from a dispassionate perspective, is it really a problem? The rules as currently written prioritize certain skills and that's the basis of the playing field. You might not like it, so it's a problem for you as a purist, but it's not necessarily a...

Honestly, listening to Thomas run through all the criteria for twizzles, it’s hard to imagine how any judge could tick through them all in real time in the few seconds that elapse. Maybe that’s part of the problem. The tech panel can look at replays but can the judges? If not, maybe they should...

But if they prioritize winning a team medal, they won't split. The only team members who have a likely shot at an individual members are Conti and Macii, and the pairs schedule doesn't pose as much of a conflict with the team event.

I'm not sure that GEO has an edge over ITA. Pairs - ITA just beat GEO at the GPF Men - Grassl can best Egadze Dance - G/F should best D/S Women - Gubanova vs. Laura Naki Gutmann could go either way I do agree that skating in front of a home crowd could go either way, but just going by odds one...
