Skate Canada 2023 Women SP - Twirl One, Splat Two

[airgelaal]

in fact, I can watch with a Ukrainian commentator. But the Ukrainian broadcast is a little late. That's why I choose the ISU stream

 

[nuage]

ok everyone complain about commentary now and get it out of the way

I am watching in French and I am not fluent so I’m good!

 

[Karen-W]

I feel like the standard response for this is that it’s early afternoon on a work day, and by tomorrow ‘it will be full’

Precisely. Even the evening session tonight will probably be fuller.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Long time no live skating for me, and since I am still on my fall holidays and just came back from Rome yesterday, I might as well watch some skating.

 

[Colonel Green]

I feel like the standard response for this is that it’s early afternoon on a work day, and by tomorrow ‘it will be full’

While it won't be full, one imagines there will be noticeably more people tomorrow, based on past precedent.

I continue to think the ISU needs to experiment more with holding the whole competition on the weekend. Whatever worked in the past, it's clearly much easier to draw people now when it's not a workday.

Starr's shoulder pads would fit right in with the 80s RDs. Just saying.

 

[skipaway]

I prefer no commentary, but at least it's not Johnny and Tara.

Will Tara be taking this GP season off due to her new baby? A little maternity leave doesn’t hurt anyone.

 

[Frau Muller]

Mark is fine - a gentleman. Just so he hushes up during the programs.

 

[emason]

Well, it does take a few minutes to understand that lovely Scottish accent.

It has nothing to do with understanding the accent and everything to do with having to hear someone talk over the music.

 

[once_upon]

Well, it does take a few minutes to understand that lovely Scottish accent.

At first I thought it was Korean. I'm going to have a really hard time understanding it

 

[Ananas Astra]

That's an...interesting...dress for Dupuis. Ah, she's skating to Evanescence, so I can kinda see it.

 

[Karen-W]

Sara-Maude's costume designer clearly heard cut-out and went crazy with the scissors.

 

[Lizziebeth]

Mark was always silent during programs on the JGP but maybe the job/rules are different here. We will know soon.

 

[airgelaal]

Too many holes in the dress

 

[Sally1214]

Hi everyone. I'm here in time for ladies SP. Some pretty costumes out there. And, I'm going to have lots of commentary with CBC, I guess. Oh well, I'm good with that. Let's get this party started. Go, Sara-Maude!

 

[Frau Muller]

Oh STFU, Mark!

 

[danafan]

Is the audio out of synch for everyone watching on CBC gem?

 

[tony]

Sarah Maude is so expressive with her full body and she has the rare trait of holding her moves and really ‘painting a picture’ in the words of Dick Button. I was really impressed with her earlier this season

 

[Sylvia]

Mark was always silent during programs on the JGP but maybe the job/rules are different here.

Yup.

 

[tony]

Oh STFU, Mark!

He may be a gentleman, but gentlewoman you are not! That was quick.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Sara-Maude's costume designer clearly heard cut-out and went crazy with the scissors.

It's like the designer took a piece of cloth, folded it a few times over and then cut some ornaments into it like with those paper snowflakes.

 

[airgelaal]

Mark was always silent during programs on the JGP but maybe the job/rules are different here. We will know soon.

Yeah, Ted said the rules are different here

 

[Karen-W]

Oh STFU, Mark!

Mark has already explained in the past that the ISU wants commentary during the skating for the senior GP events.

Deal with it.

 

[Vagabond]

Given the choice between listening to Mark's commentary and listening to these lyrics, I would go for Mark every time.

 

[once_upon]

I like the dress, so there!

 

[Desperado]

Is the audio out of synch for everyone watching on CBC gem?

Yes, very much.

 

[Jay42]

Is the audio out of synch for everyone watching on CBC gem?

It's out of sync for me too.

 

[Sarah]

A little late to the party but I don’t mind Mark.

 

[peibeck]

Dupuis: very nervy jumps, but no splats.

 

[Rukia]

Glad she managed to eek out a combo
