Just after I read this, I saw Gracie Gold's protocols from today where she received 3s on a combo with a q on the 3T. https://ijs.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2021/30111/SEGM018.html It was a nice combo and all, but I doubt the judges had been planning on giving her a +5 for it.
Huh? She had a clean 3z-3t and a 3lo in her SP today.
Did you look at the link? It says:
| 1 | 3Lz+3Tq | 10.10 | 0.89 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 10.99 |
I glanced at it but have been busy at work.
Then why did you reply?
Sorry. I'm going on about 16 hours already and misread "3s" as you meaning 3 Salchow since that's what this conversation has mostly been revolving around the last day or so.
What is going on with him? Didn't he miss Nationals last year too?
He skated at 2020 Nationals and then missed 2021 because of injury. I don't have any special knowledge but he only did 1 summer comp with reduced jump content. He had signed up for the Nationals qualifier comp in Henderson NV but withdrew from it.
Well to me 2021 Nats is last year now. LOL
I'm sure the callers have been generous with many others too, so no big deal in my book.In surprising news, looks like Jason got full rotation credit for his (2-footed) quad today:
Generous of the caller, but what a great milestone for him!
After some of the absolute gift baskets that have been handed out in calling this year I'll take this one for Jason.In surprising news, looks like Jason got full rotation credit for his (2-footed) quad today:

Does Jason's bronze in France mean that the US has qualified 3 men for the GPF?
Won't know until next week. There are several scenarios of results at Rostelecom that could prevent him from qualifying.
Semenenko needs to finish 1st or finish 2nd with a score greater than 267.74.
What makes you think he wouldn’t get a personal best by 9 points skating at home in Russia?
It's not quite that simple.
I'm assuming that Kolyada is going to win. He's the top Russian man, and their best opportunity for a medal in the men's discipline so barring disaster he's going to win.
Russian men gonna Russian men, but you could very well be right.
He looked really good at the beginning of this year...fingers crossed he'll get everything in order for Nationals.
I think I hit all the possible outcomes, and Rizzo can certainly come in and help out Brown by beating Semenenko at this event. Feels to me like Semenenko skated pretty well for him at Skate Canada, and just out scored Rizzo who didn't skate to his potential in his first Grand Prix. I would really like to see Rizzo get a medal & gain some of his momentum back.
Kondratiuk is also in the field, and even though it's his only event, he can also play spoiler to his two teammates.
I was referring to outcomes for the Grand Prix Final - Kondratiuk is also in the race for the podium.
And I'm saying that Kondratiuk finishing 1st or 2nd could throw Semenenko or Kolyada out depending how they place and put Brown in the GPF. You pointed out Rizzo, I'm pointing out another scenario.
There sed to be an ISU page that tracked points for the GP final. I can't find anywhere. Does someone know?
