Ehhhh... Linz was under-scored IMO.
The thing that is bothering me about the under-scoring at Linz is that it is very likely going to keep the Peals out of the JGPF - they're probably going to wind up with a silver & bronze like Fradji/Forneaux but FraForn will win the tiebreak because their total combined score is higher due to not being assigned to the outlier event that Linz was, IMO.100%
I'm already scared for their scores in the finalPedersen/Chen win PCS and beat Brits in that mark by 3 points. Yeah, no.
Their PCS should be lower than the baby Brits, baby French and Ukrainians. And it is a lackluster FD that’s not going to help them at home either.Pedersen/Chen win PCS and beat Brits in that mark by 3 points. Yeah, no.
I don't think it's the program. They are first after the RD with a good lead. They MUST win. That's where the mistakes come from.Honestly, as much as I like Pedersen/Chen in the RD, this POTO FD does nothing for me... And I have to wonder if it does anything for Yahli either since she hasn't skated it clean at either JGP.

I think the program is part of the problem. I haven't been impressed with it since I saw it at LPIDI. It's lackluster and vanilla as far as programs go. It feels like this season's "let's pull a program outta our a$$es at the last minute" the same way GreenP's Rhapsody in Magenta did last year from MIDA.I don't think it's the program. They are first after the RD with a good lead. They MUST win. That's where the mistakes come from.
Jeffrey looked a little at the beginning but now everyone is all happy smiles with their wreaths and flags for the photos.
Is there a link somewhere to standings?And well he should be since they just booked their ticket to the JGPF with the silver here.
Mathematically it isn't 100% yet - Zehnder/Sieber could knock them out with a win next week, but I think the only way Grimm/Savitskiy lose next week is if one of them gets sick like she did at Jr Worlds.
But, right now, they're sitting in 2nd in the standings and looking pretty good for the trip to Beijing.
Is there a link somewhere to standings?
Yes. I posted my analysis over in the JGP thread in GSD. It's not 100%, but those are the teams I'd bet on.Looks to me like the other Ukrainians, Germans and “Israelis” will get the last three spots but I’m lousy at reading these kinds of graphs.
Yes, most likely scenario.Looks to me like the other Ukrainians, Germans and “Israelis” will get the last three spots but I’m lousy at reading these kinds of graphs.
I was thinking about Odessa's current state (due to being bombed by Russia) just yesterday because I was listening to old recordings of Sviatoslav Richter (one of the greatest pianists of all time), who first learned to play as a child there. So many amazing musicians come from there and it's such a beautiful place. I really hope this great city can flourish again in peace soon and the damage to the historic parts isn't unfixable.Both of them are from my native Odesa!
And it's only the begining of the season...Anyway, very impressed by the baby French team's quick rise
It will be interesting because he's only 16 and is probably still growing and she is under 5' and has probably stopped growing...and she ages out well before he does.Yeah, I don't generally care for what used to be called gorilla/flea pairings, but somehow this team seems to make it work. Some of their holds were quite clever.
Thank you - I didn't know that about Richter.I was thinking about Odessa's current state (due to being bombed by Russia) just yesterday because I was listening to old recordings of Sviatoslav Richter (one of the greatest pianists of all time), who first learned to play as a child there.
I am a fan of little Brits too!I’m excited for the baby Brits. They’ve improved their scores considerably in the last year, and they’ve still got several years left in Junior thanks to the new rules, so they have loads of time. Their technique is being rewarded and I’m sure their PCS will improve. Who knows how far they could go
