not sure which competition it was taken out but it was a main one...The first year they introduced the lift it was to great gig in the sky I believe which was not Olympic yr....But I am going totally by memory here....so....
Yes, it was not long before the Olympics that they changed it to be safe. They used it in it's original form for a season and a half before the OG. It seems unfair but better to hear from the "little birdie" before than after, I suppose.
I do, but I feel I must not be in the majority here
Once Katsalapov starts splatting at crucial events, he often never stops, but one can always hope ; and H/D's programs this year are... not my cup of tea to remain polite, but I assume they will want some kind of revenge over this 4th place at 4CC. So they must be working their head off right now. I'm extremely bad at sport forecasts and bets (or at bets in general) anyway, so what I can say or nothing is the same ! And... maybe I just jinxed both couples 
Zach Donohue and Nikita Katsalapov are chaos agents, existing to keep things interesting (see also, though to a lesser extent, Andrew Poje).
I think both have a good chance of medaling if they skate well and get most of their levels. Now the likelihood of that happening is questionable as Nikita tends to falter under pressure and H/D are still having technical issues. I think H/D will medal with decent skates but Sinkats isn't as much of a lock in
I think that may be the only problem for the russian teams but now the american teams too. They have two teams in medal contention and neither is 100% backed by their federation. These worlds results will be important for next season because the team that places higher will likely be seen as the countries #1
.
but wasn't 2017 the year that they had the fall at nats and then followed that up by a fall at worlds? i may be misremembering. (and i'm not wishing this on them, i'm just saying that they have sometimes had more than one major comp in a single season that had big mistakes)
*makes mental note of which post to come back to when the skate gods show you why you shouldn't mess with them*
I truly am so curious and had to ask but at the same time I feel like I am tempting fate lol
How does one even invalidate a footwork sequence lol? I think maybe falling on their rotational lift like they did in practice at euros. I get so nervous thinking like this but I know G+G will come out and do great
Let's think good thoughts, people!
World standing is points accrued through weighted competition placements over the previous three seasons.
Do they take into account if people didn't compete at a certain competition or competed less (such as p/c and c/b missing grand prixs due to injury)
No, you accrue world standings points by competing.
