Chris mentioned on IG that it's his last event, won't be back till Euros. Mark is only doing two events. So are we left with Ted for the other?

Here in the rink ready for Day 3! Wheeeeee!!

It’s 1030 am here, Saskatchewan doesn’t change times for daylight savings, so an early start.

Everyone was needing coffee such that they ran out of coffee lids and gave soda lids instead

 

[genevieve]

glad I realized that Saskatoon does not have daylight savings!

Roman's free skate outfit perfectly exemplifies the 90s and the famous cup more than any RD dress or outfit does

OMG. It SO does….haha.

He’s a tall drink of water. lol.

Sounds like Chris on CBC Gem - glitch or did Ted party too much last night?

I'm testing out my new weighted hoodie. it's supposed to reduce anxiety. but I dont care who medals here so who knows. it is very cozy tho.

 

[genevieve]

Peacock glitching a little during warmup. grrrrrrr

Nika, Danny O'Shea would like to have a word! Just sayin'

 

[tony]

Anyways, I'll probably snark my way through the entire day of questionable judging but the short program for the men has to be one of the best, if not the absolute best-skated segments from top to bottom maybe ever on a Grand Prix.

I bought a weighted blanket a few years ago and it helped a bit (reminder that I need to dig it out). Have not heard of a weighted hoodie though!

Definitely Chris.

Everyone else too hungover from baseball. ️

It was such a treat to watch!! Hopefully the men don’t men today.

@genevieve. I like my weighted blanket. the hoodie is from Comfrt. it came with a little card telling me to take care of myself. so cute. this company cant be american.

I know the feeling

 

[beckab81]

My Alexa just responded to the TV that she wasn't sure how to help with that... even AI doesn't know how to fix this costume or McLeod jumps.

Dailymotion has no commenting at all.

 

[tony]

It's so weird to see decent edgework into that second Axel and then the technique is beyond bizarre and skidded on the takeoff. The 3Lo+3Lo was really nice. Bon Iver is good music. That's all I got, although I'm sure I'm about to have some opinion about McLeod yapping.

 

[Skate Talker]

The dailymotion feed has no commentator at present - obviously some technical or commentator problems at Skate Canada Productions - so I guess CBC defaulted to the World feed with Chris Howarth commentary.

 

[genevieve]

ingredients are there for Racik, but none of it gels as yet. how do we get an intervention to wrest him away from McLeod?

Is Mark doing Skate America, or do you think they'd try to put Tara/Jonny on the world feed (hoping no)?

Never works for anyone else or Canadian skaters in general

Please share your reviews! Never heard of a weighted hoodie so curious how it goes! Does it make you feel hot / run hot?

 

[skategal]

Good job Aleksa. I really liked that.

 

[my little pony]

is the music in the latter half from a horror movie? it has Wicker Man energy

I don't think they have done that before, let's hope they are not that desperate

McLeod seems to cast a spell on her skaters so none of them ever leave her.
