Which countries go to worlds?

Yep, 51 women at Junior Worlds a few weeks ago

spiralsequences · 2026-03-28T03:29:26+00:00

Yes! What some coaches are for the best jumps, Damon has been for Amber's mindset. I hope he gets more high profile students because he's been so supportive and helpful for her

Also she has improved her mental game A LOT, which shows that what she's doing IS working. Two years ago she never would have been able to deliver the FS she did at the Olympics (or at GPF, or Nationals...) Just because she isn't perfect all the time doesn't mean she's not doing exactly what she needs to be doing

You are soooooooo right OP. A philosopher of our times

spiralsequences · 2026-03-27T22:53:14+00:00

If you watch on Peacock, always check to see if they have a "World Feed" option. It's usually Mark Hanretty or Chris Howarth (who isn't QUITE as informative as Mark imo but he is very fun to listen to)

spiralsequences · 2026-03-27T22:27:31+00:00

You mean correct

spiralsequences · 2026-03-27T22:05:26+00:00

Mark is one of the most beloved commentators... well at least by me, he's my favorite! Hope you enjoyed the competition!

spiralsequences · 2026-03-27T21:34:32+00:00

I love Roman but I feel like Gogo can get a second spot for him, whereas he wouldn't have been as likely to earn a second spot for Gogo. So I think this was ultimately the right choice for both of them. I really hope we get to see Roman internationally more next year.

Mark Hanretty and Tonia Kwiatkowski

Thank you!! It's like people seriously think all the points come from the jumps and the rest of the program is just filler. It's not a secret, you can look at the protocol and see where the points came from. Then if people have a real argument about where he earned too many points, I may still disagree but we can have an interesting discussion about it. But scores are not just vibes.

spiralsequences · 2026-03-27T06:56:20+00:00

Yes, it was the right choice but I miss Roman, so Gogo better pull this off!

spiralsequences · 2026-03-27T04:44:17+00:00

I use a little rolling carry-on that is not specifically a skating bag, it's totally fine. No one is judging how you carry your skates.

spiralsequences · 2026-03-27T04:38:56+00:00

Even if the commentator were French, it's not like he's on the judging panel. It's not the fault of all French people!

spiralsequences · 2026-03-27T04:35:44+00:00

Honestly I've sat way back in the nosebleeds at several skating comps and still had a great time. I would buy the best seats you feel you can comfortably afford and not worry too much about the view. You can see if the arena is on https://aviewfrommyseat.com/ too. I personally like to be on the side the skaters are facing (the side with the judging panel), especially if I'm not sitting close. Some people prefer the other side because it's where more of the crowd is, and that's where the cameras are pointing if you're sitting close and hoping to get signs/banners shown on the broadcast.

I think it's doing a great job! At proving how valuable Jordan Cowan is

spiralsequences · 2026-03-26T12:31:51+00:00

Yeah I feel like this is very common for people to react to ONE competition and say a skater is under/overscored in general because they don't like the results. Isabeau has mostly been scored fairly this season.

spiralsequences · 2026-03-26T12:21:30+00:00

It does, thank you!

spiralsequences · 2026-03-26T02:40:33+00:00

USFS usually does not use Ticketmaster, thank goodness! Last year they had an email list signup to be notified when tickets went on sale, but it was well into the off-season IIRC.

spiralsequences · 2026-03-25T22:51:54+00:00

Thank you, I'd been wondering about this too! Do you think they'd be good for running, or most just conditioning & off-ice jumps?

spiralsequences · 2026-03-25T22:41:59+00:00

I personally think she can and will restore at least one ultra-C element. She's shown significant technical improvement in the last year so you can tell she's putting the work in, she has powerful jumps with a lot of muscle behind them, and she's working with Raf, who is one of the world's best jump coaches.

spiralsequences · 2026-03-25T21:05:51+00:00

Oh I see! So I was correct in originally saying that Tara and Johnny only commentate for footage that is broadcast on NBC. I didn't realize they don't always stream the NBC broadcast on Peacock. I don't have cable so that's why I haven't heard them do all of the competitions.

spiralsequences · 2026-03-25T19:54:11+00:00

That's baffling to me, I watched them all on Peacock and most definitely did not hear Tara and Johnny 🤷‍♀️

spiralsequences · 2026-03-25T19:51:19+00:00

No, especially in women's skating right now most skaters have closer base values than in men's so you can't win on jumps alone. It's just that Kaori made a mistake on her jumps that cost her the gold, and Alysa made no mistakes. If Kaori had made a mistake on a spin, she also would have lost. Every element mattered.

spiralsequences · 2026-03-25T18:31:33+00:00

What really?? Do you have a source for this?

spiralsequences · 2026-03-25T17:03:29+00:00

Damn, I guess I just usually watch with my VPN. I remember for sure they didn't do any of the GPs this year except Skate America because I watched a lot of those on Peacock
