Figure Skating 2019 - 2020 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

On another event, :MEX Andrea MONTESINOS just finished in 5th position U.S. Classic, Mexico's best result ever at a Senior level figure skating competition :champion: 

 

In addition she'll most likely earn points for the season's ranking, outside World Champs or 4 Continents, another first for the country :thumbup:

Yet another scandal rocking a US federation.

Vinny Dispenza, another coach at the AdventHealth Center Ice rink, allegedly offered the girl and another underage girl, whose family could not be reached for comment, a deal: message Cipres asking him to send the photos to the girls in exchange for a pizza from Dispenza.

 

What. I'm trying to read this sentence correctly, but basically Dispenza wanted dick pics from Ciprés, didn't want to ask that by himself and so asked two underage girls to ask that from Ciprés in exchange for a pizza? Dude.

 

* all of this is alleged, of course, not proven or anything

Alina Zagitova has suspended her season indefinitely. Apparently the reason is a lack of motivation. At age of 17? Right. It probably has more to do with her shape. Her jumps were completely off during the Grand Prix season...

 

One has to wonder what do those Russian coaches do to their girls? Since apparently they all burn out after two seasons (Sotnikova, Pogorilaya, Medvedeva, Sotskova, and now Zagitova).

Decent showing for Andrea Montesinos, although she completely missed an element in her short program, and crumbled after the first segment of her free. Still she is improving slowly and has secured a spot in Junior Worlds.

 

Meanwhile, Donovan Carrillo skated a clean short program which earned him a PB in the segment; he should be looking to add a quad next season if he wants to have a chance to be in Beijing 2022. Unfortunately for him, he didn't skate a great free program, with some errors, which in the end cost him qualification for World Championships by just .20 points, which I'm sure he would have been given have he skated for Japan, Russia or USA.

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:
