I agree, any clarifications from ISMF would be awful nice as to what next season might look like
Per their standings we’re up by one whole point at this point! https://dataskimo.org/pdf/OMRRL.pdf
So close… but so far.
Popping that opening lutz sunk her, lost probably 5-6 points right there
Great skate overall though.
Honestly, coming in this was a big longshot.
Looking at the last few years, for a top ten in the women’s you usually need around 190+… for that Maddie would need 120+ in the long. So, certainly possible, but would require a really good skate
Would be a wonderful accomplishment… and give someone a chance at a second Olympic spot too boot
We’re to the last group, we’ll see what the judges do here 😬
I fear Chock/Bates could fall and flop around and they’d still give them a record score… the US certainly is getting some home cooking this week
Yikes… well, at least in the long we don’t need to wonder why the scores are low
L/E seem like nice enough kids and it would be nice for them to go, but if we don’t get a 3rd spot I don’t think it will effect their ceiling
Brenda Irving has also said if you don’t qualify a man, you can’t get a team
Sometimes they’re just wrong
Let’s just put it this way, if she’s not top ten we only get one
It’s just an extra step to make sure the countries with spots have that many capable entries. Sadovsky had to do that to go to Beijing 2022.
They used to do it at Nebelhorn in conjunction with that, but now I guess they’re having a specific qualifier
As long as our nominee skates reasonably, I don’t think it will be an issue
