Thanks Sylvia! I was hoping to see Donovan Carillo, and of course Gracie, but it still should be a good competition.

 

[just tuned in]

With ice network gone, where can we find scores?

With ice network gone, where can we find scores?

IN never posted scores from the Philly comp. The club website posted all results as a downloadable zip file the day after the competition ended last year.
Links to check are: http://iceworkssc.org/liberty/?page_id=162 (club comp.) and http://iceworkssc.org/psic/index.php/results-2/ (senior international)

Peter Liu won the Junior Men SP with an impressive score (71.24) skating to a ballad from Dracula the musical (I think?) - jumps that I saw on the live stream were 3A (good height!), 3Lz+2T & 3F.
ETA: David Shapiro ("Creep") was 2nd with 62.79 and Joseph Kang (Tchaikovsky violin concerto) 3rd with 58.

IF I receive results photos, I will add what I can here: https://unseenskaters.wordpress.com...ernational-men-ladies-competition-august-1-5/

Has anyone tried the live stream? What's the quality? Getting over a cold so I'm debating whether or not to go watch in person or stay home

[maureenfarone]

The Senior men are skating, but the stream is not available. I've missed the men's warmup and at least the first 3 skaters

Just wondering if anyone else is able to watch Rink 2, Senior Men? I still have nothing. On the other hand Rink 1 Novice Ladies is streaming fine.

The men's SP is tomorrow - tonight is just practice, I don't think they'll be streaming it.

Thanks. You are probably correct. I thought they would stream the practice, but probably not.

 

[Sylvia]

The Rink 2 camera was left on during the Senior Ladies SP warm up this afternoon but it wasn't moving/following any skaters so not much could be seen on the live stream.

 

[Jeschke]

Glenn is skating to Bareilles 'Gravity'? Hell yeah

 

[Debbie S]

I'm here, looks like they are running a bit behind, just started final group of Senior Ladies (domestic) warmup. I wasn't here at the official start time...horrible traffic, I got here at noon and the event was in progress...so I don't know if they just started late or are falling behind. Anyone watching the live stream who can confirm?

 

[Debbie S]

Starting Senior Men (domestic), running about a half hour behind...they may be able to make some of that up.

 

[Sylvia]

First group of Senior men are warming up (in SP starting order) on the live stream right now (camera is stationary, like yesterday).

[Jeschke]

Any details about Paniot, Pulkinen and Torgashew are very much appreciated

 

[Sylvia]

Couldn't really see much on the warm up - Dolensky landed a nice 3A and maybe a 4S?
Second men's warm up just started... jumps are happening mostly out of camera range (eta: ... and all 4 guys are wearing black.
Lynn Rutherford is there and has tweeted:

@TimDolensky did a nice quad Salchow, unless we were all mistaken and cheered for nice triple. Good triple axel too.
@CamdenPulk reeling off strong triple axels in his warm-up group.

Glenn is skating to Breilles 'Gravity'? Hell yeah

Daniil Barantsev choreographed both of her programs this season: http://figureskatersonline.com/news/2018/06/28/amber-glenn-gets-an-early-jump-on-her-2018-19-season/

My free skate is “Bang Bang” (My Baby Shot Me Down) by Lady Gaga. It is very sharp. I feel like there is a character to it that I really relate to and I really feel it, but it is also calming at the same time for me to skate to.

I really like both programs for her!

 

[Debbie S]

Dolensky: 4S (2 ft, possibly ur), 3A, random fall, 3F-3T. White t-shrt and jeans. Nice choreo. I like this look for him. 68.26

ETA: And we are now on time.

 

[Debbie S]

Torgashev: Open Arms. Christy Krall at boards. 3A (fall out), I blanked on 2nd jump sorry, 3F (fall), I assume meant to be the combo. 67.67.

Pulkinen: 3Z (hands down)-2T, missed 2nd jump, 3A fall. Jumps aside, I like the choreo, good footwork and transitions and good use of arms. Program definitely a step up for him. 67.20

Ma: 4T fall, nice 3A out of spread eagle, i must have missed the 3rd jump, halfway through music changes to Latin hip-hop and he unzipped his shirt (sheer tank underneath) to lots of screams and squeals. Great footwork. Hope he makes Nats, this program will be awesome in a big arena. And now they are playing "Don't Stop the Party" during the scoring interlude, how apropos, lol. 67.32

Updated after International Senior Men's SP (messy event): https://unseenskaters.wordpress.com...ernational-men-ladies-competition-august-1-5/

ETA: @Debbie S it looked to me (watching live stream) that Tim opened up on his planned 4S and did a triple. THANKS for doing some play-by-play from the rink!

Ma: ... halfway through music changes to Latin hip-hop and he unzipped his shirt (sheer tank underneath) to lots of screams and squeals. Great footwork. Hope he makes Nats, this program will be awesome in a big arena.

Jimmy Ma's SP music begins with "Sahara Tango" by Sarah Louise Ings and segues to "Mi Gente" by J Balvin, Willy William and Beyoncé - choreographed by Nikolai Morozov again. Jimmy (colorfully ) described what it's like to work with him in this recent interview: http://figureskatersonline.com/news/2018/07/23/jimmy-ma-speaks-his-mind-to-figure-skaters-online/

You're probably right. And I misidentified Torgashev's intended combo. It's been a long day, lol.

Love that girl! hope to see a video of her skate!

 

[Jeschke]

what happened to glenn?

 

[beckab81]

what happened to glenn?

A skate she wants to forget.... . She walked off the ice straight into the locker room. I think she only completed 2 of her planned jumps . Very representative of TTW.

It sounds as if Amber’s “Bang Bang” FS went “Bomb Bomb”!
