[tony]

Got a full gym session in during the break. I can't stand working mornings and will gladly continue my 7P-7A work life, but it's nice to have so much done by (normal) lunch sometimes

 

[victorskid]

And the ISU YouTube stream is live again.

 

[Aceon6]

Ted mangles names x 3.

 

[Karen-W]

Ted mangles names x 3.

LOL! Right?! And Romane has tights over her boots!

 

[Rukia]

ted sounded like he really really wishes he would win $1 million from a slot machine

 

[Karen-W]

Don't we all?

 

[tony]

Ted's been getting a bit snarky with Mark this weekend. I wish Mark would tell him to shove it and go read the rulebook.

 

[beckab81]

I just need "could be skating to anything" for bingo, and I have a good feeling about jr pairs providing that!

he sounds a little jealous tbh

 

[Karen-W]

I just need "could be skating to anything" for bingo, and I have a good feeling about jr pairs providing that!

I need "nude gloves" or "costume change". I might get the former, but doubt I'll get the latter.

 

[tony]

"Rather insulting there Mark"

YES. GIVE ME MORE.

 

[JoannaLouise]

The hippo stuffie has his own seat in the audience now, and is all ready for junior pairs!

 

[beckab81]

Nude gloves are hard in pairs since they could interfere with the holds

 

[Rukia]

pairs once again personally attacking me with sign of the times

 

[tony]

pairs once again personally attacking me with sign of the times

Double meaning there

 

[Aceon6]

Oooh, Ted. That’s baaad. You’re Canadian. It’s either Day mar ay or De maris. Only two choices. Sorry folks, but that one kills.

 

[Karen-W]

Can we get some lip-synching to "Sign of the Times", please? I'm looking for other paths to my bingo, lol.

 

[TAHbKA]

The last junior place overjumed Ghilardi/Ambrosini

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Oooh, Ted. That’s baaad. You’re Canadian. It’s either Day mar ay or De maris. Only two choices. Sorry folks, but that one kills.

People from BC seem incapable of pronouncing French names.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Quatrocchi/Desmarais sounds like an immediate victory in scribble.

 

[tony]

Lovely 2Lz+1A+1A, no loss of flow no distance issues no going 15 directions. If that's what it takes....

However, I'm in strong agreement that the +A stuff needs to go away after this year.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

And yes, they would look more in line at the senior GPF than Ambrosini.

 

[Karen-W]

Knee slides in unison!

 

[kwanfan1818]

Barton has been a shit to Hanretty for a long time, with lots of little needling “jokes.”

 

[JoannaLouise]

From what I remember of this team in the past, jumps have not been a strength for them, so it's nice to see them be relatively clean here. (I know she had a hand down on the throw 3s, but no falls!)

 

[beckab81]

I only appreciate artistic camerawork during jr pairs because it means we avoid the sometimes scary footwork in lifts (even though these two seemed mostly okay there)

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

The hippo stuffie has his own seat in the audience now, and is all ready for junior pairs!

Is there a Michael among the pairs?

 

[Sally1214]

Back just in time to see first pair. Got lots done during the break. Cats are fed; husband is fed; birds are fed. Everyone should be happy with full stomachs and I'm pretty much "parked" for the rest of the afternoon.

BTW, Julia and Simon did great. YAY, CANADA!
