What a disgusting result, obviously the judges are trying to push Gracie Gold. If we look at the results of this season so far, the only acceptable result would be a gold for one of the russian girls, although i would love to see Mao Asada winning the gold. :cheer:

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Day 3 at World champs started with the short program of the mixed pairs event. The Chinese Wenjing Sui/Cong Han are on the top of the current standing with 80.85 pts in front of Meaghan Duhamel/Eric Radford of Canada 78.18 (2nd) and russians Tatiana Volosozhar/Maxim Trankov 77.13 (3rd). Top 16 pairs advance to the free program. here the results http://www.isuresults.com/results/season1516/wc2016/SEG005.HTM

 

But the most epic moment of the champs came later, with the mens free program competition and an stunning comeback, from Javier Fernandez. The spaniard delivered one of the greatest long programs in the history of the world figure skating championships, storming back from more than 12 points adrift of Japanese star Yuzuru Hanyu with a flawless skate to defend his title.

    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
