[Hedwig]

I am so used to the GP happening at times where I cannot watch that I was very surprised right now to see that no competition has taken place yet! So maybe I can catch a bit live today

 

[genevieve]

I’m up. Not out of bed yet, but up.

 

[MacMadame]

I just woke up after 5 hr of "sleep" most of which I was awake for.

And the ISU stream is live...but I don't have any sound so far.

 

[TAHbKA]

Greetings from the rink. @Hanna I can see you

Sound on the 'cock

 

[MacMadame]

If you are going to show the audience, please show the Pink Ladies!

There are 50 people in the audience. You'll see them plenty.

 

[MacMadame]

The Finish NGB doesn't have a lot of high-level Mens skaters, do they?

 

[MsZem]

Greetings from the rink. @Hanna I can see you

Can you play the sound for us?

ETA: yay, it worked! Thanks, @TAHbKA

 

[tony]

Virtanen is 37 years old and still competitive. That about explains the depth. (and not shaming him in any way, he's basically my age and these hips and legs could never)

 

[victorskid]

The sound is on now - someone flipped the switch

Good morning, everyone.
I see the good doctor is skating for us today. Nice. This is actually a pretty good men's field at this event. Best of luck to all.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Well, I was going to go to yoga but saw that the men's SP was on, so I'm going to do couch yoga instead.

 

[genevieve]

Did I miss the SP at Camden's last GP? I think I would have remembered this shirt.

 

[MacMadame]

He's their Deanna Stellato!

West Coast representing at way too early an hour, lol. I'm sorry you didn't get much sleep @MacMadame - those are the worst nights. I also managed about 5.5 hours of sleep, however, mine was fully asleep. I even managed to fall right back asleep when I woke up around 4am and got another 45 solid minutes.

There are 50 people in the audience. You'll see them plenty.

There's more than 50 people. Maybe 250, lol.

 

[TAHbKA]

Мinus being a world champion, but those are just details really

I was going to say 100.

Hey, Deanna wasn't always a World Champion, either.

 

[TAHbKA]

Samoilov is the only one in this group who can glide but he can't jump I think. I think it's his last year's programme or at least last year's shirt. His jumps are enormous

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

He hasn't hit 40 yet. He's a mere spring chicken.

He's their Deanna Stellato!

Man, I was trying to make this trip happen. Didn't work out because Reasons, and I was fine with it, but seeing the Men's lineup in particular fills me with regret. Le sigh.

 

[Karen-W]

LOL - so, check off "obvious warhorse" right outta the gate!

 

[Rukia]

2-3 to start the comp how classic

 

[MacMadame]

obvious warhorse to start! Should have made that the free square.

 

[TAHbKA]

Sulntsev's scratching is louder than the music. I hate the cuts from 1st part f to 2nd to 3rd but at least he did not pull a Shaidorov and left the Sonata in the correct scale.

 

[Karen-W]

Just saw the Pink Ladies!
