Schizas is back to Lion King after all? Maybe I've missed the news between travel and work but I thought the whole thing was she had to get rid of it because of the cost.

Schizas is back to Lion King after all? Maybe I've missed the news between travel and work but I thought the whole thing was she had to get rid of it because of the cost.

She made a comment at SCI that the music rights for Black Swan still hadn’t been worked out either yet. And she said that for Finlandia, she was either going to skate it one more time or try to get a new program before this event. The way it was worded made it sound like the clearance issue was Olympics specific though. As in, skating to music that wasn’t cleared would not be an issue except at the Olympics. Which doesn’t make sense to me, but possibly this is why she’s doing the Lion King now? But unless she’s coughed up the $$$ for those rights I assume she will need another program should she make it to the Olympics.

Will be live in 116 minutes… whoops, NOW!

I had time to pop over to Warsaw for the Pairs SP in between events here

 

[Allen]

I've been watching Midwestern Sectionals all week and have come to the conclusion that qualifying events should not happen during Mercury's retrograde. Maybe the ladies will buck the trend. I have to go back and watch the Men's short.

All three of them?

 

[genevieve]

For those who remember Slutskaya’s comment about Americans eating hamburgers - THW ausience here is have entire meals! Lol

(I ate my smuggled-in sandwich in the concourse during the break
)

Really nice support for the Finn women here

 

[genevieve]

This is such a silver sparkly group. One of the Finns didn’t get the memo and showed up in green. Awkward!

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

To be honest, I don't see any point in the ladies event - I have already seen the best lady of the competition as Caro graced us with her presence for the guys' press conference.

 

[Sally1214]

And, here we are at the women's sp. This day is flying by. And, I'm actually getting things done between events. So far, all is going as planned. Here's hoping the women skate well.

There is some silver in there though.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Selma's dress is really the only green I expect to see on that monitor ...

A SB for Selma and into 1st place. You take that selfie right NOW, Selma.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

The ladies are really not making the effort to keep me awake today.

 

[Sally1214]

Oh my gosh, I just noticed the thread title .... made me laugh out loud. You guys really don't have high hopes for this event, do you?

For lack of a better adjective, I'd say that was a very "pretty" performance by Olivia.

 

[her grace]

Nice skate from Lisko! Maybe she’ll get to go to Euros this season

ETA: big fist pump in kiss & cry!

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Eyeography. Ok, I guess that's the first

 

[Sally1214]

Well, that's a first .... the blinking in time to music. Kind of cool.

Iida

You go, girl!

 

[her grace]

Karhunen

Bringing the voids. Stepped out of 2a, nice 3f-3t, 3z, she was always her own person in juniors, glad she’s keeping a unique style in seniors

 

[Spikefan]

Submitting her application to be a child of the void and in this instance she fits the whole term.
