You guys probably know about this already but just in case, I just read this review of a documentary about synchro this morning: https://www.salon.com/2020/02/25/life-in-synchro-synchronized-skating-documentary-angela-pinaglia/

Thanks for showing the final scores and placements.

Okay, if someone else wishes to comment on the Masters Free Skate, that will be fine with me. I'm new at this and I think I'll just watch it.

 

[Simone411]

Did the sound go out for anyone else? I'm not hearing anything?

Allegro! -- "Vogue" -- great program, very inventive

I have only seen Hayden skate this year, but they are much improved over the last few seasons.

I have sound.

Hey, you do better commentary than I do! You're way better than Tara and Johnny!

Video Killed the Radio Star. I love this retro music (St. Moritz)

 

[Simone411]

Was that "I want my MTV"? lol! Okay, it was Video Killed the Radio Star! Alrighty then!

Both songs. it was a medley.

 

[Simone411]

Wow. They have a male skater. I think it would be neat if they had Mens Synchro skating, too!

Party Rockers in the House. Esprit de Corps. These skaters are fantastic.

 

[Simone411]

Wow! More male skaters! Yes!

A number of years ago there was an all-male team in NYC. That was fun.

I wish I could have seen them skate. I bet they were fantastic!

 

[Simone411]

I didn't realize how many teams the U.S. had until watching this. Pretty amazing.

These costumes (The Colonials) are supposed to be nuns, but they look like French maids. Sorry.

 

[Simone411]

Especially since they're performing to songs from Sister Act.

 

[just tuned in]

DC Edge are also nuns, but these look like nuns.

Oh, this is hilarious. Coming off the ice, one of the ladies on the team is double-shaking hands with the others like she is bidding them farewell after church. (I am not Catholic, so I don't know if there is a name for this.)

FYI, to watch Juniors (up next) you need NBC Gold. Junior, Senior and Collegiate events are on NBC Gold.

I believe that's right. According to NBC Sports Gold, the Junior Free Skate begins at 4:50 p.m. central. To left in blue, it's showing 4:30 p.m. however. I've signed in, and it says it will begin shortly.

 

[Simone411]

Well, I can hear it with the volume all the way up. NBC Sports Gold still needs to work on that some more.
