U.S. Women [#6]: The More the Merrier!

[Karen-W]

So the skating lesson has posted that they have some news and information on Ava Ziegler but have to pay to join… Does anybody have access?

LOL - I doubt most of us here at FSU are willing to pay DL to share whatever gossipy half truthful information he may or may not have.

 

[Frau Muller]

Can’t they just post it on their FB, like they do everything else? Once somebody hears it, they’ll post it here.

 

[Willin]

It's completely useless to pay him when this is almost certainly something very uninteresting like an injury.

If it was some crazy story maybe I'd pay, but somehow I doubt it's that. We'll find out for free later.

 

[Private Citizen]

No idea what the news is, but I imagine it’s not good given her early withdrawal from her Grand Prix events. I’ve had a pit in my stomach since seeing her scratch. Something seems off. The story doesn’t make intuitive sense.

 

[Tesla]

I thought it was because she’s having surgery.

 

[Rukia]

I thought it was because she’s having surgery.

or so she claims


lol i'm sure whatever "info" dl has will be all over social media soon

 

[AJ Skatefan]

She withdrew from her GP events

 

[Karen-W]

She withdrew from her GP events

Yeah, but DL is implying he has more information regarding the withdrawals than the basic "she's having surgery to address a lingering injury from last season." Which he may. Or he may just be trying to embellish that story with a bunch of innuendo and absolutely nothing concrete.

Oh I haven’t followed it that closely

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

So who is Emilia? Great sp score.

 

[Willin]

@AngieNikodinovLove (ANL) Looks like she was 4th in Junior at Nationals last year, so not totally out of nowhere.

Here is her short program from US nationals this year. Really good.

She beat this score by four points. If anybody sees a video of cranberry please let me know.

She leads the short program at cranberry by 10 points

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Are all y’all talking about the women’s cranberry in the kiss and cry? Is there a thread open now for it? I guess I gotta go get the ole wallet…

Need to know what happened to Levito, and is Lin-Gracey in competition for Everhardt for the skate America slot here? Because I really am pulling for Everhardt

 

[Wyliefan]

Yes, there's a thread in there.

Yes, there is a thread in KnC.

Competition for the US TBD SkAm spot is between Lin-Gracey, Everhardt, Andrews & Seo. It'll be really interesting to see what the USFS does if it's close between Elyce and Sarah here. Elyce is very high up on the GP alternates list and could easily get 2 without being assigned to SkAm (especially if Thorngren is more injured than has been let on and her two GP assignments open up).

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh, is the word that Lindsay pulled out because she is still injured as she was last season? Oh my gosh and Ava as well

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, is the word that Lindsay pulled out because she is still injured as she was last season? Oh my gosh and Ava as well

Yeah, at least that's what DL implied in his latest public TSL - that she's still dealing with the back injury she had at the end of last season.

 

[Wyliefan]

New practice video clip from Amber, and it looks like she's putting the 3A into her short program. (Note that she says this isn't her music.)

@AngieNikodinovLove (ANL) I knew you'd want to see!

Your fax has been received. And thank you. Yes, I think she said last season She was going to put it into the short program now.

How is Isabeau Levito involved in this?

Also, did the thread title jinx the American women?

 

[Jarrett]

or so she claims

When I saw the withdrawal I thought she was changing countries since I hadn’t read anything about injuries recently and my mind is very off the wall sometimes. I’m not paying Dave Lease for anything because that whole ship is just too much for me.

 

[tony]

How is Isabeau Levito involved in this?

Also, did the thread title jinx the American women?

Because she competed today.

 

[Allskate]

Because she competed today.

Gotcha. I thought they were talking about Skate America. I'm trying to follow too many athletic events at once.

ETA: Now that I understand ANL's question, here is Isabeau's short program:

On the bright side, her spins look better than they did last season.

Involved in what?

I don’t know I don’t create these titles.

Ooof they had a lot of nerve last week to try and sell me a ticket “if I was in the area”, they should’ve been handing tickets to anybody and I mean anybody that walked past on the street. How embarrassing, grow the sport USFSA. It’s just arena workers and customers in there.

I guess it’s going to take trusova to come back to sell cranberry tickets

OK Rant is over. Lol

 

[Coco]

To have this event during the Olympics...How Dare They?!?!?!

 

[Karen-W]

Our Junior women are starting to rival our junior men in making things not so easy on the USFS when determining JGP assignments! Team USA has a spot in all 7 JGPs and did not pick up any additional spots.

Just a refresher of the Junior Cup results -

And the Cranberry Cup junior results for the US women competing -

FPl.	Name	Nation	Points	SP	FS
1	Emilia NEMIROVSKY	USA	180.37	1	1
2	Logan HIGASE-CHEN	USA	169.45	5	2
3	Mia KALIN	USA	168.35	4	3
4	Sofia BEZKOROVAINAYA	USA	158.52	3	5

7	Jessica JURKA	USA	151.86	6	7
14	Alina BONILLO	USA	119.03	16	13

We know the first two JGP assignments already:
JGP Latvia - Annika Chao (1st at Jr Cup)
JGP Czechia - Josephine Lee (3rd at Jr Cup)

So, let's look at the other NQS competitions where some of these women have competed as Juniors (those competing senior in the NQS may have higher scores but the program requirements are different and can't be included for comparison):

Peach Open -

Place	Start	Name	Short Program	Free Skate	Total Score
1	6	Emilia Nemirovsky, Detroit SC	1	66.90	1	100.60	167.50

Glacier Falls Group A -

Place	Start	Name	Short Program	Free Skate	Total Score
1	6	Cleo Park, Glacier Falls FSC	1	65.40	1	121.93	187.33
2	5	Alayna Coats, All Year FSC	3	58.88	2	112.36	171.24
3	7	Mia Barghout, SC of New York	2	65.09	3	98.99	164.08

Glacier Falls Group B -

Place	Start	Name	Short Program	Free Skate	Total Score
1	8	Annika Chao, Glacier Falls FSC	1	54.66	1	118.46	173.12

Philadelphia Summer Championships -

Place	Start	Name	Short Program	Free Skate	Total Score
1	13	Sofia Bezkorovainaya, Washington FSC	1	59.06	1	102.36	161.42

One has to think that Logan Higase-Chen is already penciled in for one of the five remaining JGP assignments given her 2nd place at Jr Cup, same for Cleo Park given her very strong showing at Glacier Falls.

Do we have any reasonable guesses who the last 3 JGP spots will go to? Keira? Emilia? One or more of the early JGP assignees if they skate well or are in a potential JGPF qualifying position?

And what about Sherry Zhang?

 

[Private Citizen]

On the bright side, [Levito's] spins look better than they did last season.

Yes, but they didn't get the levels. Only L2 on the flying camel and L3 on the layback. Not sure what features didn't count.

 

[Wyliefan]

Surely a score of 180 and change is going to give Emilia an advantage over Keira! Why wouldn't it?

 

[Karen-W]

Surely a score of 180 and change is going to give Emilia an advantage over Keira! Why wouldn't it?

Because Jr Cup results matter. Plus, we haven't seen Sherry Zhang yet. Is she recovered enough from the injury that kept her out of Jr Cup?
