I don't know where to find the updated scores.

 

[Karen-W]

HOF presentation is still going on, so it looks like they'll be starting the competition late.

That was absolutely not me tearing up during Joannie Rochette’s speech.

I didn't get home from church in time to hear/watch it - I hope I can find it later.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Is everything starting now?

 

[Skate Talker]

EVERYTHING!

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

EVERYTHING!

Including life and the universe!

 

[Aceon6]

Make it stop! This “music”, not the lovely skater.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

This KMT music is really being used frequently

 

[floridaice]

Nice skate, good for her!

That pink dress would be so much prettier with about 90 percent less whickety-whack.

It looks like she has some horrible rash all over her body

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Yeah, if this was like just a classic simple, pink, Alyssa Czisny style dress that would be so cool

 

[floridaice]

Lovely

 

[Desperado]

Poor Uma falling all over the place and the crowd desperately trying to encourage her.

 

[Aceon6]

Ooooh. Poor kid.

 

[floridaice]

Great audience support

 

[Alilou]

(((((Uma)))))

Poor Uma falling all over the place and the crowd desperately trying to encourage her.

The crowd is being super nice. At point, I thought Uma was just going to give up.

 

[Desperado]

It's not a skating competition without Céline.

Is this the song Joannie skated in exhibition in Vancouver? Her mothers favourite song?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Marie-France D’Amour is an excellent name for a Québécoise skater. Great job!

 

[Desperado]

Is this the song Joannie skated in exhibition in Vancouver? Her mothers favourite song?

I think so, it's a song about the loss of a family member (her niece, I believe).

 

[Karen-W]

Shiryaeva has a ways to go on developing her style, but those jumps were really great for the most part. She's the one to keep an eye on for the next quad.

 

[floridaice]

redemption skate for Ulliana

 

[kylet3]

she skated so well but Joanne McLeod?! Please someone get her away there ASAP. Ravi Walia or Lee Barkell could do so much more with her. There is so much insane potential with her, it just drives me bananas that she's stuck under McLeod.

 

[Aceon6]

My DailyMotion app (iPad) keeps freezing. Thoughts?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Really wish Shiryaeva wasn’t with McLeod but great skate.
