Is it just me, or does it seem odd to tuning in at 7:50 AM (I'm on the West Coast) for a Men's SP at a Worlds being held in the United States?

I guess? But, it is an East Coast Worlds, and it's a big field.

I'm just happy that my emergency Walmart grocery order arrived 30 min ago & I have replenished my snack stash - today I've got sourdough bread & spinach dip, plus Reese's peanut butter cups - which means I should probably expect @AngieNikodinovLove (ANL) to arrive on my porch step before the last men's group takes the ice, lol.

Your copy-paste function isn't working - I've got "over" on my card again today.

 

[victorskid]

Interestingly, the ISU stream cut away for the intro video just as the US anthem was about to start.

There will be a resurfacing after the 1st, 3rd & 5th groups.

 

[Karen-W]

FYI - the cut-off to make the FS last year with the men was 73.23 - may the odds ever be in favor of the men!

 

[Elisheba]

Joined just in time to hear Chris say pairs was a humdinger. Hoping one of these men will set a cat amongst pigeons!

 

[MacMadame]

I know. I'm fixing it right now.

 

[Karen-W]

Interestingly, the ISU stream cut away for the intro video just as the US anthem was about to start.

I don't think that means much of anything - the ISU stream never shows the anthem for any host nation at any competition - except the victory ceremony, of course.

 

[peibeck]

Not them doing a "preview of what's ahead" for the men's SP and them showing Aymoz crying.

This is giving me the same card as last night - intentional?

 

[skategal]

Hello from my new country of Belgium.

I got so frustrated with CBC Gem yesterday that I signed up for Surf Shark for a month to watch on YouTube.

 

[skateboy]

Hey... can we avoid the term "menning" today?

(I just hate it, unless we are going to use "womenning" as well... )

 

[Karen-W]

Chris is telling us that the arena is sold out for at least 4 of the events - which is fantastic - TD Garden is a 20k seat arena.

 

[peibeck]

The group ends with Semen. Insert your own joke here...

 

[MacMadame]

Wrong link. I had to fix it. https://mfbc.us/m/quzhrtp

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Morning all. I’m fully caffeinated and ready to go from whichever Scandinavian country I’m pretending to be in.

 

[beckab81]

Lol, I have Korean hair bling on my card - which of the guys is going to give us that one?
(@MacMadame, I appreciate you running Bingo for us, I just found it funny)

 

[Karen-W]

Hey... can we avoid the term "menning" today?

(I just hate it, unless we are going to use "womenning" as well... )

Nope. But we can say that last night, the final group of women did some menning, lol.

 

[MacMadame]

Hey... can we avoid the term "menning" today?

(I just hate it, unless we are going to use "womenning" as well... )

And pairing... Though, as is usual with the SP, they weren't. I expect them to this afternoon/evening though

 

[millyskate]

I can tell KMT is irritated with Chris overtalking/ using her script lines

 

[Karen-W]

(@McMadame, I appreciate you running Bingo for us, I just found it funny)

I dunno, but we do have Lukas giving us RED gloves, which is about as close to blingy as the men seem to get, IMO.

 

[victorskid]

With respect to last year's "cut off" - here are the top few who didn't advance:

Did not advance to free skate
25	Vladimir Litvintsev​	Azerbaijan​	72.16	25	72.16	—
26	Davide Lewton Brain​	Monaco​	71.58	26	71.58
27	Maurizio Zandron​	Austria​	69.59	27	69.59
28	Tomàs-Llorenç Guarino Sabaté​	Spain​	68.35	28	68.35
29	Jari Kessler​	Croatia​	68.32	29	68.32
30	Burak Demirboğa​	Turkey​	68.18	30	68.18

 

[MacMadame]

(@McMadame, I appreciate you running Bingo for us, I just found it funny)

I think I have that one listed as "All but usually not Mens."

I left those in just in case. I'm sure with 39 men, something will come up that we can count.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I can tell KMT is irritated with Chris overtalking/ using her script lines

Can’t say I blame her.

 

[Citlali]

Let's go men, do your best!
