MINDRA CHEERING SECTION IS SEATED!!!

 

[Wyliefan]

Peacock is live.

 

[Firedancer]

Good morning all!

 

[genevieve]

I hate this split schedule so much

 

[her grace]

Sounds like the arena is taking a nostalgic trip through America’s rich history of men’s skating champions.

 

[genevieve]

But I am so excited for the the return of Emmanuel Savary to Nats, and to see Sam Mindra!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I hate this split schedule so much

It's so inappropriate and also like... bush league?

 

[genevieve]

"heartland" - drink!

 

[flyingsit]

It’s snowing here but I got my grocery shopping done already. But I have to miss the second group.

 

[her grace]

For those thinking about junior worlds, these men are eligible: Sanchez, Kazanecki, Kovar, and Martynov.

ETA: and Shinohara. I forgot that USFS’s program booklet didn’t include the recent substitutions

 

[Rukia]

lol i forgot this was so early i hate this schedule

 

[Amy L]

Ben just describing the split schedule has given me eyestrain from rolling them so much There's no way to make it not sound stoopid.

 

[floridaice]

"heartland" - drink!

[mtnskater]

[AnnMJensen]

[maureenfarone]

Is anyone commenting besides Ben?

Oh nevermind....I hear Ashley. Time to turn the volume down!

 

[flyingsit]

Is anyone commenting besides Ben?

Unfortunately Ashley just started talking

 

[genevieve]

Nice fluff for Savary, including promotion of brother Joel's efforts to expand BIPOC participation in FS

 

[genevieve]

Mindra getting in on the boob bandage costume trend!

 

[my little pony]

maybe they can put both me and Ashley out of our misery and let her w/d due to injury

 

[mtnskater]

Gorgeous triple lutz double toe by Mindra in the warm-up. Ashley really likes his skating too

 

[Garden Kitty]

Unfortunately Ashley just started talking

Undeterred by the fact she's losing her voice

 

[MacMadame]

"heartland" - drink!

Damn, forgot to add that to the BINGO cards.

@Karen-W I decided to put Neon instead of Highlighter because I thought there would be less arguing about that. May I live to regret it.

 

[genevieve]

People were excited for Shinohara getting the alt spot, looking forward to see him. Pretty costume.

 

[annie720]

Undeterred by the fact she's losing her voice

Ben is going to have to take over. Hopefully.

 

[floridaice]

Unfortunately Ashley just started talking

maybe they can put both me and Ashley out of our misery and let her w/d due to injury

Her voice is deeper this morning -- maybe that will minimize the sort of whine she gets when excited, make her slow down a little -- and TALK LESS.
