Bought seats last minute, somewhat obstructed. Got moved to the 1st row— behind the judges. Moved up a row because the handle bars are kinda in the way.

Oh, cool! Do you get to sneak peeks at the judges' scoring?

 

[delayedaxel]

So many different music choices?

I would like to hope so...

If I lean way over like a maniac. Don’t put it past me.

 

[Marta24]

The judging panel is interesting. No judges for US, Italy, France and Finland.

 

[Lanie]

Walked past Sorensen on the concourse

 

[Karen-W]

The judging panel is interesting. No judges for US, Italy, France and Finland.

Those four will be on the FD panel then, along with 5 from the RD panel.

ETA - the French & Finnish judges are on the RD panel. The judges not on the RD panel are USA, ITA, GEO & ESP.

Hi from B9 with @PrivateCitizen and husband! Very excited despite 3+ hours awful music.

 

[Aceon6]

Just finished explaining to DH that this is VIS (very important skating) and that I will not respond unless he wants me to call 911. He then spent time asking me ALL the questions. Go away, already!

 

[Marta24]

I feel a mix of excitement and dread.

ETA - just noticed this link is at the bottom of post #1 above.

Well, I missed that so thanks!

Had an early lunch with friends and raced home for this. They all plan to watch it on NBC tonight but I told them I prefer my skating live, commentary and commercial free!

And you'd rather chat with us all too, right?

 

[Hanna]

It's really only 23 teams, and also why such a random number?

That said, even group 1 is already very high level.

 

[marbri]

I was hoping they would quietly remove the British judge after his blatant tomfoolery in the team event

Plus you aren't at their mercy for what they feel like showing.

 

[Finnice]

Heja Sverige! Mmm... heja everyone! But it is do great to see Nikolaj and Milla there!

 

[Lizziebeth]

And you'd rather chat with us all too, right?

I did not even try to explain that to them

There is no mechanism for doing that. They do all the judging of judges at the end of the season and give penalties then.

The first 2 seconds of this program with OPPPAAAA is literally tonight in a nutshell.

 

[Jay42]

I'm disappointed I can't get the world feed on CBC Gem like I could four years ago. I can't stand Carol Lane as a dance commentator. Even aside from the fact that she literally coaches one of the teams competing.

 

[rfisher]

I wonder if Chock is getting a tour of some of the fashion houses in Milan for inspiration given how she is part of designing her costumes.
