[Hanna]

Finally today I can watch 100% without interruptions or obligations, wheeee!!

This event is so exciting, every single pair is good!

 

[rfisher]

Russian pairs on TV and Japanese final flight of men on the computer. Forgetting which thread is which for PBP is a given.

Come on, Diana. Make me happy.

 

[Frau Muller]

Yeah...now here...also with an eye to the last flight of Japanese men. Fun day!

 

[rfisher]

We need a coach PSOTY

 

[hanca]

The problem with being so many decent pairs is that if someone manages to climb higher up, it pushes another decent pair down.

 

[Hanna]

Fantastic start to the competition with Balabanova/Sviatchenko! Would directly make the top5 at Euros. Even if the lifts look a little sketchy.

What a terrible music choice though, blah.

I can't get the Penguin feed to run for the Japanese men so I'm focusing fully on this.

 

[Immortelle]

These two give me more of a North American vibe than a Russian one. Except they’ve landed their SBS jumps...

 

[rfisher]

I'm a little misty I'm so happy for them. That was beautiful. @Jeschke is going to be thrilled. It's good to see happy tears.

And, she usually goes straight for the ice cream after her skates.

 

[hanca]

We would be happy to have them. Zoe is 40 and she won’t be around forever. It would make Europeans more fun if there were more decent competitors around.

 

[Hanna]

Wheee A/N are my faves here after B/K! This program takes me back to Torino last year.

Of course this is their worst comp of the season.

 

[rfisher]

She is a fierce little thing and this program is choreographed so nicely. The section to Love of My Life is just perfect.

I gave up on the Japanese men. I could see them but found myself just watching the pairs. I'll watch the video.

Oh, well. Next season kids. I'm so sad they won't get to go to junior worlds where they'd likely medal.

 

[Catherine M]

Couldn't get myself up for the first few but I'm here now. Looking forward to some great pairs skating

 

[rfisher]

Oh, Diana. I love the M&Ms and I really hope they don't split after this rough season.

Bless her tiny heart, but Ilya screwed up this time as well. I just want to hug her.

 

[Hanna]

I think M/M should probably let go of the 3flips for now, I don't think it's been clean all season. Not that the rest was that much better.

They were looking so good last year.

 

[rfisher]

She's breaking my heart in the KnC.

 

[Catherine M]

Aw Diana, don't cry. That was rough to watch

 

[Hanna]

Can't believe M/G ended up in this group. His salchow miss was costly.

 

[Immortelle]

Come on M/G!!!

 

[rfisher]

Russian nationals is always so interesting in who has the skate of their life and who crumbles under the pressure. I think it's more for these skaters than Euros or Worlds.

 

[hanca]

Can't believe M/G ended up in this group. His salchow miss was costly.

Costly? They are only 4 points away from B/K who did their jumps clean.

 

[Immortelle]

Russian nationals is always so interesting in who has the skate of their life and who crumbles under the pressure. I think it's more for these skaters than Euros or Worlds.

Exactly, it’s sad to think that some of these skaters will never be seen outside of Russia, except by hardcore fans...

 

[Hanna]

A/R really love their techno versions of the classics, don't they.

So good! I enjoyed that a lot (despite the WTF music combo )! Love that there's a high level team from... was it Sochi I think? But not one of the powerhouses.

 

[rfisher]

Life isn't fair that almost all these girls can do the SBS triples and then there's Panfilova. WHY?

Fedor has really done a great job with his young team. He should be very proud of what they've acomplished.

 

[Hanna]

Life isn't fair that almost all these girls can do the SBS triples and then there's Panfilova. WHY?

It's to distribute the skill so that one person doesn't have it all.

 

[hanca]

Sochi? I thought they skate in Moser’s school. Klimov is their coach.

 

[rfisher]

It's to distribute the skill so that one person doesn't have it all.

But, I need for her to have it all. I need for her to go to the 24 Olympics and skate away with Gold.

 

[Hanna]

Sochi? I thought they skate in Moser’s school. Klimov is their coach.

Well in that case I have completely mistaken. Thought I heard something about Sochi during the SP but maybe I got it wrong.

 

[Catherine M]

Loved Klimov's team. Guess I should learn their names.

 

[hanca]

Well, let’s see how Pepeleva/Pleshkov are going to fight with that.
