These titles are getting better and better. I swear someone’s using chatGPT.

 

[Wyliefan]

If it were ChatGPT, they would be getting worse and worse.

 

[MacMadame]

If it were ChatGPT, they would be getting worse and worse.

Yeah, ChatGPT is bad at naming things.

ETA Peacock thinks this is the Mens SP. (See description, not the title)

 

[victorskid]

Time for the last of the short programs of this event (to be followed by the Sr Pairs Victory Ceremony).

 

[MINAM]

Not feeling great, but I'm here.

 

[Lizziebeth]

Peacock is live

 

[Firedancer]

Good morning everyone

 

[Wyliefan]

Not feeling great, but I'm here.

Hope you feel better soon!

 

[MacMadame]

Cow-ri? That isn't how you say Kaori, is it?

 

[tony]

Tech specialist Konstantin Kostin was as high as 4th at Euros, and what a beauty of a 4T he had:

[leilaofpaper]

Cow-ri? That isn't how you say Kaori, is it?

No that’s correct.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Ah, the so original music choice of Moulin Rouge.

 

[Sally1214]

I am here for the woman sp. Watching in bed on this FRIGID morning here in Halifax. Good luck to all the ladies.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Another program to Roxanne? It's more than I can stand

 

[Wyliefan]

Dang ... good 3a, sucky combo.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I have no idea how Rinka manag s to land a clean 3a and then have triples with the height reminiscent of Satoko Miyahara

 

[MINAM]

1 Rinka WATANABE JPN

3ax
3lutz 3tl lutz was shakey
Camel spins
3loop
Hate the music.
CFCS
Arakawa is praising her expressions. Weird, I don't feel it at all.
She looked so tense.
Technically, not bad.

 

[skatingguy]

Rinka Watanabe
Coach: K. Nakaniwa, M. Nakata, M. Nagumo, A. Tanoue
Music: El Tango De Roxanne (from Moulin Rouge)

3A
3Lz+3T< - turn between jumps, step out
Camel Spin 4
3Lo
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Step Sequence 4
Flying Sit Spin 4

It was a strong performance, but the jumps were not clean.

70.68 = 1st Place

 

[Wyliefan]

Love her fierceness.

 

[Lizziebeth]

I hate this music. I think it overpowers her (and me at this time of the morning)

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I am here for the woman sp. Watching in bed on this FRIGID morning here in Halifax. Good luck to all the ladies.

I'm at Nagoya, and the only reason why I'm watching is because I'm sitting between two Japanese journalists and can't move away...

 

[Karen-W]

Ted definitely loves Rinka. It was fine apart from the combo.

 

[MacMadame]

No that’s correct.

But the name has 3 syllables as well.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I don't recall La Strada being so sparkly

 

[leilaofpaper]

But the name has 3 syllables as well.

In Japanese, ao, makes a similar sound to “ow”

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

La Perkarada

 

[tony]

But the name has 3 syllables as well.

Kao Miura is ‘kow’

Kaori is ‘kow-ri’
