Got the stream loaded up through my phone and just caught a glimpse of Josh

 

[Sylvia]

Tomoki Hiwatashi landed a 3A-half loop-3S (I think?) and scored well.

ETA: Emmanuel Savary landed 3F+3T+3T.

 

[Sylvia]

Camden Pulkinen: huge 3A-half loop-3F

 

[misskarne]

I'm back!

3A step out

Tweeted by @AerialChallenge:
"Ladies Final (2nd of 3 rounds) is warming up. They will perform any two-jump combination with a 3T as the second jump. The first jump can include any number of rotations, but will count toward base value."

In order of qualification (skaters will jump in reverse order):
Ashley Lin
Audrey Shin
Hanna Harrell
Alysa Liu
Courtney Hicks

 

[Sylvia]

Hicks: 3F+3T
Liu: 3A+3T
Harrell: Rippon3Lz+Rippon3T - 10s across the board
Shin: 3Lz+3T
Lin: popped her Lz; 3Lz+3T on 2nd attempt

 

[Sylvia]

Ladies qualifying for the Championship round (in order of placement) are:
Alysa Liu
Hanna Harrell
Audrey Shin

Men’s qualifiers for the next round are (in order of placement) - jumps added/edited in by me:
Tomoki Hiwatashi (eta): 3A-half loop-3F+2T
Camden Pulkinen (eta): *high* 3A-half loop-3F+2T
Emmanuel Savary: 3A(turn)+3T+2T
Dinh Tran: 3A+1T
Jordan Moeller: 3A-half loop-3S

For this round, they must complete a jump combination including a 3A. Again, top 3 qualify for Championship Round

 

[Sylvia]

Copying over more tweets from AerialChallenge's account:

Men qualifying for Championship Round (in order of placement) are:
Camden Pulkinen
Tomoki Hiwatashi
Jordan Moeller

Championship Ladies (last round!) are warming up. They must attempt a 3A or quad
This round is the only one where we will use a technical panel to include downgrades, under-rotations, etc.

 

[misskarne]

Just noticed that one of the Championship Round ladies is wearing padding...sensible.

 

[Sylvia]

Audrey Shin: 3A fall
Hanna Harrell: 3A fall; fell on 2nd try too but it looks like she's close
Alysa Liu: 3A - all 10s and she wins

ETA: Hanna finished 2nd based on her higher scores prior to the Championship round.

 

[misskarne]

Men's Championship round: two quads, one after the other, at opposite ends of the ice. Bonus points if they're different, but not required.

 

[misskarne]

Jordan Moeller

4S<< fall
redo
4S< fall

 

[misskarne]

Tomoki Hiwatashi

2T
redo
4T very low landing then 4T touchdown with free leg

 

[misskarne]

Camden Pulkinen

4T< 2ft fall then 4T< fall

I don't think he has a redo left. He signals he won't try again.

 

[misskarne]

Tomoki Hiwatashi wins!

And alongside my pining for Josh's presence I'm suddenly hit from behind by a severe case of missing Max. A lot.

 

[misskarne]

Camden Pulkinen wins the award for the highest jump.

 

[Dobre]

Kudos to Alysa & Tomoki.

And here's Tim Dolensky with his buddy Josh Farris at the World Arena a few days ago (2 photos taken 8 years apart!): https://www.instagram.com/p/BkRCl0Ml8CZ/?taken-by=timdolensky

 

[misskarne]

Every time I glimpsed Josh on the screen, he was smiling. He looks so happy.

 

[wickedwitch]

So glad to see Josh was here and happy!

And for Hanna. I'm looking forward to seeing what she does on the JGP series this season.

(My own opinion--this format will work best for standalone events.)

My computer decided now would be a fabulous time to restart and do updates.

UGH I hate when that happens! LOL
