She definitely has a script to read. Comments are identical to Bowman’s

 

[mjb52]

This is fun.

This better beat Todd

 

[skipaway]

When did Czechoslovakia dissolve?

 

[Aerobicidal]

I really liked that program and music from Barna! I'm discovering new things I like, not just new things to snark on, this weekend!

Why do the CBC commentators keep calling them "Eisler and Brasseur"?

 

[Aerobicidal]

When did Czechoslovakia dissolve?

1989

ETA: As explained below (but apparently ignored by at least one pedantic poster), I was wrong here because I stupidly conflated the year of the resolution with the year of dissolution. Please judge me harshly for this.

Lloyd demanded it.

Jean Senft looks like a wild one

 

[Aerobicidal]

This woman is like something out of a "your body is changing" video from middle school health class that is meant to be informative but is actually terrifying.

 

[skipaway]

Very condescending tone.

 

[mjb52]

Took effect Jan. 1 '93 (dissolution of Czechoslovakia), polls seemed to show mixed feelings from public at the time.

 

[meggonzo]

When did Czechoslovakia dissolve?

1989

I thought it was 92 or 93. Of course my knowledge is just based on Worlds being in Prague in 1993.

 

[alchemy void]

Sorry but I'm not fast forwarding through this.

 

[skipaway]

1989

Why then did Barna not represent Czech Republic?

A brief explanation of the judging system: + =

Yes! I was thinking of when the revolution happened. You're right. So sorry for posting bad info.

 

[skipaway]

Got it

 

[mjb52]

Oh Havel objected too, how interesting. Or actually, looking at the original article and not the summary, seems slightly more complex: https://www.nytimes.com/1992/07/21/...h-still-a-politician-no-longer-president.html

 

[Vagabond]

When did Czechoslovakia dissolve?

1993, not 1989 as someone else suggested.

 

[meggonzo]

Also I don't think I've ever seen presentation marks range from 5.3 to 6.0!

 

[rfisher]

Why do the CBC commentators keep calling them "Eisler and Brasseur"?

Because she didn't really matter. Just ask Eisler.

Slay Toughie!

 

[aliceanne]

Lubov would have been so good in this era.

My husband is joining me and is like isn’t there a better quality video to this? And I started going off about how we skating fans have to suffer more than NBA and NFL fans when it comes to this kind of stuff. He just ignored me and repeated the question....

 

[meggonzo]

Wait, they couldn't do sbs 2 axels but could do triple toes.

 

[Erin]

1992, not 1989 as someone else suggested.

It was actually Jan 1, 1993 if we want to get fussy. But it was already resolved before you jumped in.

 

[meggonzo]

This is an interesting medley by various artists. Ohh belly flop.

 

[Immortelle]

Mega splat!!!!!

I've totally gotten used to it by now.
