2022 Philadelphia Summer International & club competition, August 3-7, Aston, PA

[Debbie S]

Gracie is warming up (20 min WU) so looks like she is skating the FS.

ETA: And just did a monster 3Lz-3T!

Pasha Filchenkov and Alex Z at the boards.

Isabeau not here, but she lives so close, she may have elected to practice at her home rink.

Thanks for the updates! I don’t believe that Isabeau was at the 20 min WU yesterday either, so hopefully she will skate the long.
And yay for Ting! She is such a beautiful skater, I enjoy watching her so much. Also, I love that these skaters (Ting, Gracie, etc) are coming back just for the love of skating.

Ken Fitterer GBR is listed as WD - shame because that means neither the Jr Men nor Sr Men have enough int'l competitors to qualify for TES minimums.

 

[Sylvia]

^^ You're thinking of ISU WS points. I believe a listed WD in the starting order still counts towards the minimum of 8 competitors in a Senior B.

My person at the rink really liked Samuel Mindra's "very cool SP [with] all drums."

ETA:

"Blumenthal almost landed 3A, stepped out. Nice program" - his song is Leonard Cohen's "Famous Blue Raincoat."

[Debbie S]

Isabeau is here! Final Senior Women warmup group on the ice.

 

[Debbie S]

Not the best skate for Jill Heiner...several pops and falls. Music is Chicago. Hopefully her next comp will be better...I hope she can make Nats again this season.

Gracie next!

 

[Debbie S]

Gracie rocked it! Huge 3Lz-3T (nearly ran into boards, no idea how she saved it), doubled lutz and sal near the end but all other jumps clean. Music is Rachmaninoff....not sure about first part but second half is "....Paganini".

You could tell it's a new program but by mid-season, it could be stunning.

 

[Sylvia]

Gracie 113.25 in FS, 180.26 - she will medal. https://ijs.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2022/30902/SEG004.htm

Can't wait to see video!

She's definitely making her case for the SkAm TBD spot - and an early season Challenger.

 

[danafan]

Gold just missed the worlds TES minimums. Hopefully this will be enough for a challenger assignment - maybe even the final spot at Skate America.

Hmmmm... Wonder if there were some < or q on her jumping passes because from what was reported by @Debbie S, she should have easily had the TES min.

 

[Karen-W]

Whoa! 203.62 for Lindsay overall! And this is just August!

 

[4rkidz]

Whoa! 203.62 for Lindsay overall! And this is just August!

I’m excited to watch her at Skate Canada!

 

[Karen-W]

And 207.67 for Isabeau! Solid season debuts for each woman. Can't wait for videos!

You beat my pre-emptive plea for videos!

 

[Debbie S]

Possibly. And the doubled jumps didn't help. I think she landed 4 triples and 2 2A. Will need to check protocols.

But for a season debut, and given the past few years, this was a big step forward for her. I hope she can get the SA spot!

 

[honey]

Gracie did 5 triples and a 2A. Lost levels on the spins and steps again though. Shame that 5 triples wasn’t enough to get the worlds TES out of the way

Protocols are up! https://ijs.usfigureskating.org/lea...------FNL-000100--_JudgesDetailsperSkater.pdf

Hmmmm... Doesn't look like she had any < or q on her jumping passes, she also only got a Lv 2 on her footwork and Lv 3 on two of her spins. The judges were just being stingy with GOE.

Lindsay had two < calls and a ! on her 3F, but Lv 4 on all her spins and step sequence.

Isabeau got a ! on her 2nd 3z, and Lv 3 on two of her spins.

Work to be done for all three and room for improvement, but really good debuts for them relative to where we saw them when their seasons ended last year.

Gold didn't have any -GOE, but only one jump combination.

Crazy to think that if she had put a single toe on the end of any of her last 3 jumps she would have the World’s TES minimum.
ETA - Always fill up those jump boxes!

 

[Frau Muller]

And 207.67 for Isabeau! Solid season debuts for each woman. Can't wait for videos!

Fabulous early-season score for the reigning Jr World Champion, Isabeau the Invincibeau!!!!

Pretty darn good from Lindsay, too.

No. Stop that. That's horrible and I'll if you try to make that a thing, same way I all the idiots who want to lump quads and 3As together as "ultra C" elements.

 

[AYS]

I think we have a bona fide rivalry brewing with Levito and Thorngren.

I love deserving USA women, esp dear Isabeau!

Lindsay top…jr World bronze medalist!

The Road to Milano 2026!!!

How about showing some love for those at the very too of world rankings - juniors - right now?

 

[Sylvia]

I think we have a bona fide rivalry brewing with Levito and Thorngren.

They've been rivals since their Juvenile days.

I found another fan cam video of Isabeau Levito's SP from yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG7DA0MYd2Q

Still looking for any videos from today...
