I blame Japan for skating through the middle.

Yes, they were definitely at fault.

If anyone has a portable phone charger and they wanna find me later today

I brought one and I’m about to use it already. From 100 to 10% in three hours. Trying to post clips of every last team/skater.

 

[tony]

Actually SOS, my portable charger just drained immediately and now I have 12% and I don’t see any outlets around the barriers

Watching Ladies practice on the youtube stream. Did Nina Pinzarrone record her own voiceover? It is pretty long.

I saw a post on X a few hours ago saying it's geo-blocked, so you'll need a VPN to access it.

This is dire! We need clips of the US teams, lol.

Is Zoueva the Ukrainian dance team's coach?

Once I get there I have brought three portable chargers so anyone can borrow them if they want!

Lots of fashion going on. Repond has a bare middrift. Lui has something like a fur collar and little skirt. With her hair, it is giving kitten. Amber and Isabeau are in USA jackets at the moment.

From the videos he posted those LED boards are really distracting when trying to focus on the skaters themselves. Have these type of boards been used before in skating championships?

They were introduced at the GPF.

@Aceon6 saves the day!

Amber - FS run-through - fall on the opening 3a

Interesting. Will go back to have another look. These boards seem higher than normal and really in your face with the colour and graphics. Hopefully, since I can't recall noticing them before, they fade more in the background with a professional filming crew

Amber did almost a full run-through and jumped very well, apart from the slip on the landing of the 3-axel.

Taking care of @tony

Good practice for Isabeau. A couple of the early jumps were a little scratchy but she picked up steam and was hitting them well by the middle. Showing beautiful positions and flexibility.

Caroline is an absolute star
