Novice Posts: 123 Group: Members Member #44 Joined: January 30, 2007	I've been on a self-imposed skating forum exile this week, so as not to spoil Skate Canada for myself until it aired. Just watched the ladies FS (which they played first? ) I'm pretty disappointed, as I had an outside hope that Emily would get silver, or a strong feeling that she could at least get bronze. The short program results sounded AMAZING, and it seemed she was ON. Well, I hate to say it, that LP leaves a great lot to be desired. Somehow I didn't notice while watching it live at Skate America. Maybe it was just the excitement of seeing Emily skate a LP in a real competition for the first time. But watching it again here, every jump I was saying "telegraphed... sigh", and there just wasn't a whole lot of artistry going on. I don't really care whether or not she missed some triples or combos - she didn't fall, none of the top ladies fell, so I was proud of them for that. But who choreographed that LP? Peter Johansson? It needs MORE to it. REALLY. I hope somehow that she can work with her choreographer and get in a few more moves, especially entrances. Seems to me that's what really broke the whole thing. So, since that Finnish girl totally self destructed (what a meltdown... I felt really bad for her), essentially we had Emily going from "1st" in the short program, even ahead of Mao Asada, down to 4th and off the podium without falling once. That's pretty telling. Emily has done far better than that. This was a huge chance for her, and it was all blown cause of that lackluster long program. Wish I could go back to Skate America, when I was standing behind her coaches, and smack Peter on the back of the head! (Well maybe not, but that's what I'm feeling at the moment...)

I don't know how to fully describe it but sometimes it just seems so...bland. IDK maybe that's not the right word but that's the only way I can describe it.

Telegraphing jumps does list as a -1 GOE, but there is no way of knowing whether they called her on that or not. I do know that she would have had to get a far better GOE than even Mao if she even wanted the bronze. So it probably had to be more than just telegraphing or lack of entrances. You and I may both see a program that appears lacking, but I doubt our perceptions of what was lacking reflected the real reason she got 4th. To summarize the scores - if Emily had matched Mao's, Yukari's or Joannie's TES, she would have gotten a silver. For the PCS, she would have had to match Mao's to even get a bronze. But Mao basically won on PCS in terms of the top 3, who all had similar TES around 60. Emily needed +5.77 overall in order to pass Joannie for the bronze. Here's a detailed comparison I compiled of Emily's and Joannie's scores, SP then LP: If I had to pick one single thing, it would be the 2Lz in Emily's second LP element, downgraded from 3Lz. I doubt a clean 3Lz+2T+2Lo would have been enough to get an extra 5.77 points over the downgraded combo, but it would have to have gotten her close, at the very least. So, essentially 1 good jump can count as much as a whole section of the PCS. Oh well. What do you expect. In my dejection after Emily's newest 4th place finish, I have already called Nationals: Kimmie / Caroline / Emily / Ashley. Obvious, perhaps. But if she isn't on the podium at Nat's I'll probably lie around staring at the ceiling for the rest of the day... by the way... the ladies free skate at Nationals will be ON Emily's birthday this year. For whatever that's worth.
