#isu Grand Prix

[jimifreckles]

if ilia were any other skater the panel would’ve left the deduction for that step-out in place instead of just giving him the bv :/// yuma had a similar step out and they deducted so it’s like ???

[this-is-krikkit]

Grand Prix Final Math

So, out of boredom and love for math, I decided to calculate how several skaters could make the Grand Prix Final. If I made a mistake, please comment under the post. Also, for convenience sake, I’m only considering those with 22 points and those who placed 4th or higher and are going to Espoo (except for Pairs).

Men

Currently in:

Shoma Uno (30 points: 15 + 15)

Kao Miura (26 points: 13 + 13)

Sota Yamamoto (26 points: 13 + 13)

Daniel Grassl (24 points: 9 + 15)

On the cusp:

Adam Siao Him Fa (22 points: 15 + 7)

Cha Jun-hwan (22 points: 11 + 11)

Heading to Espoo:

Ilia Malinin (15 points)

Shun Sato (11 points)

Keegan Messing (9 points)

Path to the GPF:

Keegan: Gets in if he wins (24 points: 9 + 15) 

Shun: Gets in if he’s 2nd place or higher (24 or 26 points: 9 + 13 or 9 + 15), unless Keegan wins (24 points but higher placement) and Ilia gets 3rd or 4th place (26 points or 24 points but higher placement)

Ilia: Gets in if he’s in 4th or higher (24-30 points: 15 + (9 to 15)), and a good chance of getting in at 5th place (22 points, but more likely to have a higher total score than Adam), unless Keegan wins and Shun get 2nd place (both 24 points) and he’s 5th place or lower (< or = 22 points)

Adam: Shun gets 3rd place (22 points, but Adam has the higher placement) or lower (< 22 points), or Ilia gets 6th place or lower (< or = 20 points) or he places 5th and Adam beats his combined scores (probable but unlikely), and Keegan gets 2nd place (22 points, but Adam has the higher placement) or lower (<22 points)

Jun-hwan: Two of the above happen to Ilia, Shun, and/or Keegan

Women

Currently in:

Kaori Sakamoto (28 points: 15 + 13)

Kim Ye-lim (28 points: 13 + 15)

Isabeau Levito (26 points: 13 + 13)

On the cusp:

Rinka Watanabe (22 points: 15 + 7)

Rion Sumiyoshi (22 points: 11 + 11)

Heading to Espoo:

Mai Mahara (15 points)

Loena Hendrickx (15 points)

Anastasiia Gubanova (11 points)

Path to the GPF:

Anastasiia: Gets in if she’s 2nd or higher (24 or 26 points: 11 + 13 or 11 + 15)

Loena: Gets in if she’s 4th or higher (24-30 points: 15 + (9 to 15)), and a good chance of getting in at 5th place (22 points, but a higher placement than Rion and a more than likely higher combined score than Rinka)

Mai:  Gets in if she’s 4th or higher (24-30 points: 15 + (9 to 15)), and a good chance of getting in at 5th place (22 points, but a higher placement than Rion and a more than likely higher combined score than Rinka)

Rinka: Gets in if either Loena or Mai get 6th place or lower (< or = 20 points) or place fifth and have a smaller combined score than Rinka (unlikely for both) or Anastasiia gets 3rd place (22 points, but Rinka has the higher placement) or lower (< or = 20 points)

Rion: Two of the above happen to Anastasiia, Loena, or Mai

H/B: Get in if they are 2nd or higher (26 or 28 points: 13 + 13 or 13 + 15) or 3rd place if C/P doesn’t win (24 points, but C/P would have the higher place), or 4th place if G/P get lower than 5th place (< or = 20 points) and C/P are 2nd, and H/B beat their combined total score (likely), or lower (< 22 points)

G/P: Get in if they are 4th place or higher (24 to 30 points: 15 + (9 to 15)) or 5th place if C/P don’t win or H/B place 4th (22 points, but G/P would have the higher placement) or lower (< or = 20 points)

La/La: Get in if G/P are 6th or lower (15 points total) or H/B are 5th or lower (13 or 20 points total, or both if C/P win (24 points) or gets 2nd (22 points, but C/P would have the higher placement)

TOTAL: 255.69 Currently: 3rd

How can you not love Kévin Aymoz? Doesn't have the quads, but all of the skaters should take note of his skating skills. Better presentation IMO than last week at Warsaw Cup.

Ilia MALININ USA

4A(hand down), 4F, 4T, 4S, 4T1Eu3S, 3F3T, 3F3A

TOTAL: 278.39 Currently: 1st

Not a perfect 4A, but so many of the other quads were absolutely textbook. Not as high as his Skate America score, but the Quadg0d has just qualified for his first GP Final!

Shun SATO JPN

HUGE jumps. Putting the pressure on Malinin!

Nasty fall on that first 4T. No clue how he recovered for the second one! That's guts. Second 3A just didn't get the height.

Tatsuya TSUBOI JPN

Great skate, technically. Jumps were SMOOTH. Components need work... not much to this choreographically until the very end.

Strange fall there during the step sequence, and definitely some ur calls on those jumps. Will be interesting to see this program progress.

Strong effort by Cam. He looked absolutely out of breath mid-performance but he fought for that second 3A. Definitely his best FS this far this season. Hopefully this gives him some confidence going into Golden Spin.

Not sure how he didn't go down on some of those jumps that he hung on to. He's all over the place with technique.

This guy is an ER DOCTOR and is 35 years old. Smashing ageism in the sport. So happy for him to have a skate like this on home ice.

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to describe to a non-fs fan the feeling of realizing in real time that bock actually listened to the criticism of their rhythm dance and re-did the music

[loenahendrickx]

do you have Amber’s full ‘hot to go’ gala performance? I can’t find it anywhere online and it’s like your (very well done!!!!) gif set is the only proof of its existence!

HIII!!! FIRST OFF I APPRECIATE THE COMPLIMENT SO MUCH!!! 😭🥹💖💖

SECONDLY!!! the only footage i know of is on the ISU’s official YT channel (im in the us but have a vpn which is how i watch it online), so i recorded this one for skatingblr!!! unfortunately i had to trim it down to JUST the skating bc otherwise it would’ve been too big for tumblr 😭😭 BUT HERE YOU ARE!!!

From Bella's IG story!

My VPN girlies, my currently residing in America girlies, this is your moment ✨

Side note for the VPN girlies, if you're planning on paying for peacock or getting it on a trial period, I must warn you you have to have an American card. Heed my warning, I've been there for last season's US Nationals 😭
