This list of current qualifiers is from one of Sylvia's posts from a few pages back. I added "- Spokane" if the skater is on the start list for the event in Spokane. I think I got them all. There may be some changes in the scores for the top 2 from each section aside from Izzo's, which I added in.

After 5 qualifying competitions, these are still the top 2 in each of the 3 sections:

Next 3 highest total scores after first 5 competitions remain the same:
3 Hanna Harrell 171.51 (NV) E3 - Spokane
4 Rena Ikenishi 169.75 (VA) E4
7 Gracie Gold 163.62 (VA) E5 [Alpharetta, GA]

19 Alex Evans 144.41 (NV) P4 - Spokane
20 Sarah Jung 140.74 (VA) E8 [Alpharetta, GA]

Lindsay Thorngren 202.60 (VA-1) E
Starr Andrews 177.15 (MN-1) P
Isabeau Levito E
Audrey Shin E

 

[haribobo]

Looks like from these lists that Pooja Kalyan and Kanon Smith are not going to be competing this season. :/

 

[wickedwitch]

Jordan Moeller isn't in either start order, and he, AFAIK, doesn't have the minimum score.

 

[Stephanie]

Kate Wang (2 JGP's this season) is also competing senior in Spokane and should have a good shot at nationals

7:15pm matches the start time on Peacock.

 

[Debbie S]

Apparently, rink and Peacock were wrong. I turned it on a few minutes ago and Avonley/new partner were being announced.

 

[Sylvia]

I guess 6:45 pm ET was the correct start time after all ...

Nguyen/Smirnov skated to a Backstreet Boys medley (eta: "I Want It That Way" & "Everybody") - scored 66.56.
She wore a slinky bodysuit.

 

[sk9tingfan]

7:15pm matches the start time on Peacock.

Well peacock strikes out. We missed 3 pairs.... Good thing there's a replay option

Yup! Avonley & partner were who I wanted to see most of all.

 

[Wyliefan]

Yup! Avonley & partner were who I wanted to see most of all.

Same!

 

[Karen-W]

Same!

They look good together! We have some great potential with some of these new pairings.

Were you able to see the replay already?

 

[Karen-W]

Were you able to see the replay already?

I just rewound the feed before it ended. I mean, look at the scores and tell me who is worth the time, lol

 

[sk9tingfan]

Me too. I'll watch the replay later

 

[Wyliefan]

I can't rewind an event on Peacock while it's still going on. At least, if there's a way, I haven't yet discovered it.

 

[sk9tingfan]

Nope. We will have to wait until after the event.

 

[Debbie S]

If the replay won't work on your TV, try the desktop or mobile version.

 

[TanithandBenFan]

The replay is up now on Peacock. I’m watching on my Roku.

 

[Karen-W]

I can't rewind an event on Peacock while it's still going on. At least, if there's a way, I haven't yet discovered it.

I can't do it if I'm streaming but I can when I'm just watching the event on my phone or laptop. It's really aggravating. But, I was willing to just watch on my phone their RD.

 

[meggonzo]

Just noticed that the Spokane, WA results page lists the event start times in Mountain, not Pacific time (Intermediate SP groups A-C are today): https://ijs.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2021/30110/index.asp

It's changed to Pacific time now.

 

[Frau Muller]

I had to pay the monthly charge for Premium, in order to watch replays on TV. Until three days ago, it was “free” for Comcast-Xfinity cable and internet subscribers. At least in my area (suburb of Washington DC)…I guess that Comcast thinks that we’re covered in ca$h, in this region.

I was just going to say that I was impressed by Koncius and Shchepetov (Alpharetta) and then they fell. I was still impressed. They look good together.

 

[Wyliefan]

Well done, N/S! Between work and Warsaw cup, I was watching with about a third of an eye , but it looked good except that their twizzles could be a little cleaner and have more unison.
