Practice reports, photos, clips, etc

Polina Edmunds is on this morning's Rink Side Cam stream with Jean-Luc Baker for the Women's Practice commentary.

I’m here in the main rink, already uploaded the full programs of the 7 pairs who have gone on an alternate Instagram - theskatingsession2

Let’s see how long it lasts before this one gets blocked.

I’m on my way over!

It says I spammed too many people, I think maybe it’s because I was tagging all the skaters and the algorithm probably thought it was just random accounts

But it says up to 4 days to reach a decision, and I can’t do anything on that account now. It won’t even let me put text in a post/story so I had to take a screen shot of my message about the new account to even get it posted.

Yeah, a brand new account tagging a bunch of other accounts probably is what got you flagged as spam.

How many practices all together, each rink, does each skater/pair get?

 

[Karen-W]

How many practices all together, each rink, does each skater/pair get?

Depends on the day. Everyone got two practices each yesterday - one at the practice rink & one at the main rink. Today & tomorrow everyone gets one practice each - pairs are at the main rink, the rest are at the practice rink. Friday it's just women at the main rink, with men & dance at the practice rink; Saturday both dance & men get one last practice at the main rink.

was it a new account? Insta is weird in that if you make a new account and make too many posts it gets punished for being suspected as a bot or whatever.

Yeah, I’m hoping if I just don’t tag them and let people do it in the comments, I’ll be fine.

I guess with two practices yesterday, skaters would not do their full program both times. Probably saving full run-throughs + jumps for the main rink.

Why are they mixing up the groupings? Alysia Liu is on the practice rink now.

I believe yesterday was by country and today is by skate order. I think it's always done this way?

Yes, once the draw is complete, the practices are done in skate order. Today's dance & men's practices will be in the same practice groups as yesterday, as will Thursday's dance practice.

My experience is that most skaters don’t do full run-throughs, and even less do on the last practice.

Enjoy all the posts.

My sciatica would scream going up and down those steep arena steps.

Torgy not having good practice

Torgy not having good practice

I’m going to put on my optimistic face knowing that the Stereti ice is much harder than the Garden ice. Expecting nothing, I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

It didn't seem that bad from what I saw and what Jackie was saying on Peacock. He did miss a couple of quad attempts, then regrouped, took a couple of laps, and landed it.

Posting all women’s free skate practice clips, in full, from the main rink. I have no idea where Feigin’s video went, but the 11 others who have skated are there.

Amber marked some of the jumps in her run through just now, but everything she did do was glorious including 3A and 3Loop/2A/2A.

 

[Lanie]

I'm so tired I don't think I'll make it to the arena for practices but we'll see. Long day ahead of us!

That's interesting, Jackie Wong didn't report her doing any 3A and I was like "??????"

Yes, he did. He has "Practice notes Glenn: 2A, 2A, 3T, 3S, 3Lo, 3F, 3F3T(hangs on), 3F3T, 3Lz2T, 3A(hangs on), 3A, 3Lo2A2A, 3F, 2A, runthru (3A, marked F, 3Lz2T, 3S, 3Lo2A2A, marked F, 3Lo), 3F, 3Lo2A2A"

Maybe I looked at the wrong day... ? I forgot how exhausting attending a comp is. Guess I need to find some caffeine before heading to the arena.

I think those were yesterday's notes - I saw that tweet last night before I went to bed.

 

[Lanie]

Mostly! I think it's lack of sleep Thank you for thinking of me.

Piper & Paul are wearing the floral RD costumes that they haven't worn in competition yet. I really hope we finally see them in competition later today.
