ETA: Shoma's 3A4T landed in practice today. He has been doing this jump lately in practice
with some success and of course some falls. I wonder if he is going to put it in his program.

Uno's triple axel - quadruple toe loop happened right in front of us. It took a second to register what had actually happened. But, given how people around the rink reacted to his jump combination, boy, did he make it look easy.

 

[Wyliefan]

OK, dumb question: What are the times? I've seen the days listed multiple places, but not the times.

Detailed event schedule: http://www.isuresults.com/schedules/WTT2019_ColouredSchedule.pdf

[rfisher]

Oh, boy. Three more days of getting up at 2:00 Whee! One last time for the season.

I can do this easier than staying up to 2:00

 

[meer]

Nathan said he's doing a 3 quad FS (removing the 4F/4lz adding in 4S) and a 1 quad SP. Relaxing.

 

[pinky166]

Ponsart still injured or DG‘d?

Adam has earned his spot! Plus Joubert comes with him!

Gabby in the beret. She takes the insouciant Frenchwoman thing to a new level.

Nathan said he's doing a 3 quad FS (removing the 4F/4lz adding in 4S) and a 1 quad SP. Relaxing.

Interesting... Nathan hasn't included a 4S in competition this season (he was practicing the jump at Skate America, as I recall). Here's Jack Gallagher's article: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports...h-spirits-eve-world-team-trophy/#.XK5KhZjYrnG

“I’m not going to do a quad flip or quad lutz here. Just do quad salchow and quad toe loop,” Chen commented. “I will do one quad in the short program and three in the long program.”
The Salt Lake City native indicated that the reason for the reduction in quads was due to the compressed nature of his trip home.
“I only had a week back in New Haven (Connecticut), and most of that time was spent studying because I had a lot of tests,” Chen remarked. “It’s the end of the season so I figured this was a good time for my body to recover a bit. Kind of takes things down a bit and enjoy the performance a little more.”

Quote from Shoma Uno:

“Although I landed the triple axel/quad toe combo in my practice, I’m not sure if I’ll do it in my program,” Uno said. “I want to try it, but maybe not in this event.
“I have trained hard after the worlds, without thinking of peaking (for) this event, I need more progress to be what I want to be.”

If you can't try a wacky new element at the WTT, when can you?

DO IT SHOMA DO IT!!!

Im just gonna say it... Daniel Grassl is such a cutey!!!!

Im just gonna say it... Daniel Grassl is such a cutey!!!!

We were fortunate enough to see him at the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Brisbane in 2017. Back then, his look and most of all, his showy choreography, very much reminded us of Evgeni Pluschenko.

[aussieSKATES]

Brian Joubert's influence is all over his pupil, Adam Siao Him Fa, right down to the jumping style and choreography.

 

[aussieSKATES]

Daniel Grassl is grinding out quadruple jumps like they're nothing. #Impressive

 

[Sylvia]

@aussieSKATES, have you seen Adam Siao Him Fa try any quad Lutzes in practice?

 

[aussieSKATES]

@aussieSKATES, have you seen Adam Siao Him Fa try any quad Lutzes in practice?

Not yet. We only saw him work on the triple axel this morning. We'll keep a look out for you, though.

 

[AxelAnnie]

OMG! I am sure she is not.....but in the French team photo, Mae Bernice looks like a giant!

At around our height, she's tall for a singles skater at 170cm. I'm sure heels would add a few centimetres as well.

Uno hits another super triple axel - quadruple toe loop towards the end of the Group Two men's short program practice session.

Yes, they are wearing colorful wigs

Is there anywhere the videos are archived? Nothing on the ISU site and a quick search on youtube only gives a few skaters. Thanks!

You might have already seen this but ICYMI, @Debrah posted a link in the ladies' thread:

No Video threads so am posting here, discovered a Russian you tube of entire ladies SP event for those of you who could not watch it live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsikFPed-f0

I just stumbled across men's SP event on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkXvOP4DYXQ

Has anybody found the RD event somewhere? Or any RD videos other than Ko/Ko and P/C (already watched those earlier)?
