That's her last year's short. Too bad about the UR, but at least she stayed on her feet!

Thanks for the reports! I don't think Ruiter has done a triple loop combo before.

Did you see how the other Canadians did? Yang has the highest PCS of the Canadians so far so I'm curious.

Roccatini had a decent 3T-3T. They all missed jumps. Yang has a beautiful posture and flow.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Elyce Lin-Gracey,3F-3T, 2A, 3Lz. Probably a quarter short on the toe. Spins were fast. 58.70

Lindsay Wang hit her head on the ice going into the loop. She is conscious but sitting with the medics.

Lindsay Wang hit her head on the ice going into the loop. She is conscious but sitting with the medics.

oh my goodness! How does that even happen?

ETA - she's officially listed as WD on the results page - a wise decision, no doubt.

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh no.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

oh my goodness! How does that even happen?

Felt backwards. Fluke fall. She’s walking now.

 

[Karen-W]

Bandit is so needy. She really takes exception to my figure skating addiction. The moment I turned on the feed for Quebec, she decided she needed to be right next to me. I'll be flipping between both for the rest of the women and the men, I'm sure.

Loop entry falls happen quite a bit when learning the jump, and we've even seen it in major competitions. Plushenko's done it at least twice, a Europeans in the 90's IIRC and here:

ETA- found it. This one looked like he may have even hit his head.

[Rukia]

Yeah i was going to say the same thing. I feel like the loop is the most dangerous entrance usually. Just the way you have to sit on the blade and push off is kind of precarious.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Everhardt, 3T-3T, 2A, popped the lutz. 52.38

 

[sk8nlizard]

Felt backwards. Fluke fall. She’s walking now.

One of the scariest falls because it’s completely unexpected. You just slip off the edge! One of the ones I remember recently was a pair at US Nationals (I think in Nashville). They were setting up for a throw triple loop and he slipped off the edge, bringing her down with him. I think it was Plazas/Fernandez but could be mistaken…nope I was right…

Seo, 3Lz-3T, 2A, 3F, and she falls on the last second of the program after the last spin. 56.48

 

[Karen-W]

Seo, 3Lz-3T, 2A, 3F, and she falls on the last second of the program after the last spin. 56.48

We'll take it, since that tech should get her her Worlds SP min!

Nope - she must have been hit with at least a < since her TES is only 30.12 here.

It was a time violation for Lindsay.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Prasad’s coach was filming her with her Iphone. I guess she didn’t wanna pay the $49.99 fee.

ugh I want to see this

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Klein, only a 2A, 3F-3T, 3Lo. He is a gem. Stunning but not upping the tech content. 63.95

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Kapeikis, 3F, 3A, 3Lz-3T step out with hand on the ice. JC superstar in red pants. I have seen this one before. Nice edges but stiff upper body. 75.71

Well, baby steps - this is better than Glacier Falls a couple weeks ago...

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Reshtenko, 4S, 3A, 2T-3T, balletic and elegant. Loved it. 69.61

Huh it looks interesting, but why not just use all Cowboy Bebop music if you're going to switch to Tank at the end?

Since when have you ever expected Jimmy Ma to make sense with his music edits?
