ISU Grand Prix Assignments 2018/19 season

[Carolla5501]

I’m not sure what you are complaining about. Both of those skaters are higher than Kailani on the SB list.

It’s easier to realize that if her favorites don’t get what she thinks they deserve whining will ensue. Complaining is pretty normal

Hicks' assignment is for NHK, but yeah

 

[shuilee]

I'm not convinced Carolina Kostner will show up to either GP events. And Daleman probably won't show up at NHK.

That's at least 3 more spots likely open, in addition to Choi's open slot at NHK.

 

[rosewood]

There is still an open ladies spot at NHK (Choi has not been replaced yet).

Sad NHK cannot invite Leonova this time.

I pray Courtney get's a second PG so she can spread her joy and faith wide, every Nut Cracker she does will help the causes good people in this some-times wicked sport should care for.

I feel touched that Wang has been given another blessed event. When there is a withdrawal it is all ways best to fill that gap with a Wang, at least in skating that is what I have been saying. Wang may have had a hard time staying up-right in her last appearance, this will change I am sure of it. This is a Wang you can not keep down for long.

I don't know whom this "Crane" person is, sounds nice different and unusual but may be this is not her "year"?

 

[vesperholly]

I don't uber Craine and I'm no homer for Aussie skating. I just like her skating and wish she could get more competitive exposure

I'm disappointed that you of all people would make that kind of remark.

Can we not generalise about an entire nation's opinion based on one poster please?

Eunsoo is now on the list for NHK http://www.isuresults.com/events/cat03108896.htm

Yay!

Yessssss!

 

[Erin]

Since my hoping for Starr at Skate Canada was so successful, I’ll throw out to the universe that I hope Eunsoo Lim gets Choi’s spot at NHK.

So apparently all I had to do was ask?

I wish this worked for everything in my life.

Is there some sort of giant blue gaseous entity around you with a lamp that you haven't noticed?

It helps if you say please.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Wash your mouth out!!!

 

[Dobre]

Yay, Eunsoo!

And yay, Japan! Thank you for doing the right thing for all of us figure skating fans.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Wow, looking at the roster in ladies for NHK even tho Eunsoo has replaced Choi there could still be 2 more withdrawals still at NHK... (Radionova and Daleman). To be continued I guess......

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

So, Bychenko withdrew after the SP last week at his Challenger. He isnt crossed off for SkAm. Does anyone know if he is competing.

I guess I could post at the SkAm thread to see if people have seen him yet.

No official practices until tomorrow.

 

[crzesk8dad]

No official practices until tomorrow.

Not being at Official Practice doesn't necessarily mean he withdrew, if that occurs. It's never true until posted.

I meant that today is a little early to expect reports on whether skaters are here or not. Tomorrow should give us insight.

I believe I read that Bychenko told someone, possibly @Eislauffan that he was fine with no injury or illness there. I think it was more the fact that he found himself a distant last place at a Challenger event than anything. I would expect him to be fine here.

Ok, next up: get Leonova to replace whichever next Russian girl withdraws. Thanks!

Alena skated two of my favourite ladies' programs last season. NHK was a good event for her.

Here is her short program.

Here is her free skate.

He is quite something to watch in person. The power he generates preparing for quadruple jumps, and the height and distance he achieves landing them, is impressive.

Midori was invited to NHK 9 times, Mao 7, Leonova 6 (plus 1 she declined), Arakawa/Miyahara 6, Suguri 5, Ando/Suzuki/Nakano 4, Murakami 2, Mihara/Higuchi/Honda/Kihira/Shiraiwa 1 etc

NHK can't be without Leonova! Give Japanese fans another once-a-year chance to see her in person.

 

[Erin]

I’ll do my best! Seems like there is a chance she could replace Radionova at NHK if Radionova withdraws early enough
