I invite you to come watch British nationals

Or, you know, the Men's FS at Canadians a few weeks ago.

Amateurs compared to the Brits

Does anyone know when this ends? (I have to get up early tomorrow)

It ends in 3hr 20m (I can’t remember which time zone you are!)

It ends in 3hr 20m (I can’t remember which time zone you are!)

So 3:20 am and then get up 4 hours later to cycle 28 miles. No problem, right?

 

[Karen-W]

These guys' music selections are making me sleepy.

 

[MacMadame]

Not a bad skate. Too bad he hasn't got the harder jumps.

Lots of things to like in Celestino's skating. He started to get pretty tired toward the end of the program which will cost him a bit in the PCS.

117.45 = 1st Place
180.31 = 1st Place

No, 3:45am is when it ends.

You can fight through it.

You can fight threw it.

Some might say she can dig deep…

 

[JoannaLouise]

OMG, that thud when he hit the ice!

 

[MacMadame]

Nice comeback! (Chris agrees)

 

[On My Own]

The arena definitely does seem fuller than it was for the pairs.

I expect more!

Someone did tell me they expect more to shuffle in for Jin haha. Obviously it's not going to get packed all of a sudden, but there's that.

Wonder if this being close to Lunar New Year also affected audience turnout. Seems the stands are looking fuller than yesterday though? Very difficult for me to tell.

Mind you that this is the 4th competition in China, and they have the NWG directly after this too (with very low ticket prices, and it's a prestigious national event).

Also gosh these threads move so fast during comps, IDK if I can keep up

A bit of mess - some good things, some bad things - that fall on the opening jump - and a few things that were just so-so.

93.11 = 5th Place
147.16 = 5th Place

This thread is moving slow at the moment, TBH.

No, someone gifted the sub to me recently. I'll probably buy one for myself during the Olympic season.

 

[MacMadame]

These last two skaters had no SB only a PB. So this is their first ISU comp of the season?

 

[MacMadame]

got it all wrong!

 

[Karen-W]

How did this guy get the TES mins?

His bio says he's a HS student but also 20. Sus.

-1.00 = Falls (1)

Several unusual mistakes when he got too close to the boards. I wonder if he doesn't normally skate in a rink with hockey boards, and the visual is throwing him off.

88.99 = 6th Place
149.05 = 5th Place
