Same. I wish Kaori was closing the show, but we have no idea if she was asked and declined or if the organizers went with what they felt was the most popular skater.

 

[my little pony]

what does boy Mrazek's shirt say?

 

[Desperado]

The Czech team opening things up is so fun for them and the crowd. Well done!

 

[Desperado]

Wow, Eliska looking so much hotter than I remember. Oops, she falls, it's her alright.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Only half watching because I have a busy morning - but this is fun so far. I'll have to catch Queen Kaori on the replay.

 

[Desperado]

It's not a skating gala without Sex Bomb

It's not a skating gala without Sex Bomb

I'm never going to get over my PTSD from seeing Plushenko's performance live in 2001.

 

[slicekw]

Ok, we need a lot more of this Levito sass in her competition programs.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Hah, my late mother always joked that she wanted to play "These Boots Are Made for Walking" at my father's funeral had she outlived him (which she did not).

 

[Aceon6]

Absolutely beautiful from Kevin. If you didn’t see it, queue up the replay before it disappears tomorrow.

 

[slicekw]

Kevin Aymoz.

I'm not crying, you're crying. And he will be back next season!

 

[Desperado]

Lia and Trennt filling the gap of Italian kitsch.

 

[my little pony]

is this a video game? Lara and Kevin understand the assignment

 

[Desperado]

That's a revamp of an old exhibition program for Lopareva/Brissaud, no?

 

[Aceon6]

I’m loving Genia’s copy of Bjork’s famous dress.

 

[my little pony]

I can see LB doing a gaga program, justice for Pop Art!

 

[my little pony]

belgian nina loves a VoiceOver while rolling on the floor, it works for her

 

[my little pony]

synchro 9 is a new competitive category, what? every one of these girls looks like kaitin weaver

 

[Evgeniafan]

Ok, we need a lot more of this Levito sass in her competition programs.

And her dress is beautiful

 

[my little pony]

im not really a gala person but some of these are better than their actual programs

 

[cygnus]

Loved that from Piper and Paul!

 

[Desperado]

Wow, this could be my favourite Piper and Paul program, ever! The costumes, the music, the choreography.

They could adapt it to the Waltz OD next year too.

 

[Lanie]

Ugh, BBC is just showing replays Hope I can see some of the gala online.

 

[Desperado]

The Georgian doing the same program for 2 years? If it isn't, it feels like it still.

 

[my little pony]

what are they throwing into the audience?

 

[Desperado]

I take it Stephen Gogolev did not anticipate being invited to the Gala?

 

[my little pony]

not having Kaori close the show is lunacy
