Due to technical issues, real time scoring will not be used on usfigureskating leaderboard. Scores from each event will posted on the leaderboard shortly after each event. Remember the old days, of waiting for the runner from accounting to bring the results and posting them on the bulletin board? Same thing.

Do you happen to know if any of the Senior Pairs are planning to do the long? I switched to the practice and no one was there. I have somewhere to be, so just trying to figure out if it’s worth trying to adjust times to watch them.

Don't know if they plan to do their FS or not. Remember, this is a non-qual competition with unofficial practice ice, which they have to pay for, it's not the same as at Nationals or an International. (sometimes skaters don't do those either) They may have decided not to purchase the UPI and/or practice at another rink. It's up to them.

Liu/O'Shea are listed as WD from the Senior Pairs FS that's scheduled to start at 6:55 pm ET (link currently says "Unofficial" but the event has yet to take place).

3 Soho Lee, Glacier Falls FSC 59.27 (2) 98.28 (3) 157.55

Wang landed 7 triples cleanly -- 2A, 3Lz+3Lo, 3F, 2A / 3F+1Eu+3S, 3Lz, 3T+2T -- but received no credit for 2 of her spins. She kept her Tango/Addams Family program (with Aguilera's "Haunted Heart" in the middle) from last season.

 

[crzesk8dad]

An unknown to watch in Senior Ladies FS today is Sofia Frank, Pasadena FSC. She is currently 2nd in the SP.

An unknown to watch in Senior Ladies FS today is Sofia Frank, Pasadena FSC.

Sofia was amazing & really ON in last night's SP! She qualified for USFS' ISP last season as a junior but just missed qualifying for 2021 Nationals (14th in the Championships Series virtually judged FS). She is one of several skaters coached by Tammy Gambill at this competition.

Baram/Tioumentsev 150.05 (95.74 FS to lyrical piano) - impressive performance that opened with a very high 3Tw1, followed by sbs 2A & 3S+2T+2T; smooth throw doubles for now (unfortunately she's not ISU Junior age-eligible until next season)
Fleming/Finster 129.19 (76.72 FS to "Sweet Dreams" by Cinematic Pop)

Tzu-Han Ting is listed as from Salt Lake Figure Skating. Did she transfer from Chinese Taipei to US, or the designation of the skating club does not matter?

 

[Jammers]

So C/J must not be injured if they are competing in a otherwise meaningless summer competition so the mystery deepens now we know injury isn't the reason they are sitting out the GP season.

Injury also wouldn't explain why they weren't among the skaters/couples to receive USFS funding.

I know right this situation is just strange.

Tzu-Han Ting is listed as from Salt Lake Figure Skating. Did she transfer from Chinese Taipei to US, or the designation of the skating club does not matter?

She was listed as representing TPE when she competed at the Broadmoor Open back in June: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...-qualifying-competitions.108356/#post-6016248
IIRC, foreign skaters competing in U.S. club competitions are supposed to be listed with their respective federations, but that doesn't always end up happening in the starting orders/results.

I assume Tzu-Han Ting is currently training in Salt Lake City (she has trained in the past at the Cricket Club in Toronto as listed in her ISU bio from the 2019-20 season) and that may be why she is listed with the club? I recognize her male coach from TPE, Kuo-Wen Chen, in the 4th photo that she shared via her IG yesterday (Middle Eastern-themed pink dress for her FS): https://www.instagram.com/p/CSBfpT7LgkQ/
She performed very well to music from the most recent Aladdin film soundtrack (I recognized the orchestral version of "A Whole New World" in the middle of her FS).
