Yes personal best and finished second in the free skate ahead of the Georgians who placed fourth at worlds.

The Georgians had a bit of a nightmare... actually, pretty much the entire last flight other than Japan had nightmares. Lifts were being missed entirely, people were falling on spins, it was a fiasco lol

 

Laurin/Ethier don't really have the scoring potential to compete with most of them typically... but they skated clean, and everyone else were throwing points away by the dozen

Silver for Marjorie and Zach in the Ice dance with a season best of 197.16 at Skate America

Stephen Gogolev is sitting in second after the short program at Skate Finland with 89.35 points! It’s been a while since we have had a singles skater in medal position at a Grand Prix. Madeline Schizas is also in third place with a seasons best 65.16 points.

Piper and Paul sit in second after the rhythm dance after piper downgraded the twizzles just half a point back of first and Trent and Lia sit in a virtual tie for first place in the pairs shirt program  with 70.13 point only .27 points back of first.

I think it's gonna be tough to unseat Gogolev for the Olympic spot. Putting up scores, and at 20 is the youngest of the contenders, and would benefit most long term. 

Sadovsky skated well, but was underrotating his jumps... and at 26, he's no longer someone we can think of as a developing skating, it's put up or shut up time. 

 

With Gogolev putting up scores in the short around 90, I'm not sure there is much need for Messing. If we can get the same scores semi-consistently from the up and comer, we might as well go with the up and comer

Gogolev takes the bronze medal. Sadovsky finishes 4th.
