The feed is live even though it's more than 15 minutes to the warm-up.

Maybe they’re like me; press the button early in case they fall asleep again

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I didn't realize everyone had a "Rusty" to annoy the audience.

 

[Bunny Hop]

The feed actually stayed live in between the two events. I'm watching on SBS On Demand in Australia and just left it running while I did the dishes and scrolled through Facebook and Instagram.

I was thinking "that's the Chinese Rusty" while they were doing their "Freeze Cam"

Is that what they're doing? I just have it playing in the background, and all I can understand is the announcer yelling 1, 2, 3 every few moments.

That's what it said on the big screen at centre ice

There’s a Freeze Cam and a “1, 2, 3 clap your hands” thing.

Yelim's dress is a gorgeous color and there are a lot of one arm dresses out on this warmup

Mute button! Sunset Blvd vocals!!!

 

[Bunny Hop]

Zhu upset at the end. It wasn't that bad. I mean, she could have been skating to anything but she presents well and she didn't have too many red blobs.

 

[leilaofpaper]

I have just noticed, these thread titles have been saying 2003, not 2023. Unless you're referencing some outdated choices?

A lack of confidence on the jumps was evident with multiple landing issues. Not sure about the music selection of Sunset Boulevard, particularly with the lyrics, for a person her age, but maybe her experiences over the past few seasons help her relate.

103.62 = 1st Place
154.58 = 1st Place

I have been doing that too lately. I don't know why.

 

[Frau Muller]

007 - License to skate cleanly for Audrey Shin!

 

[Bunny Hop]

Shin concentrating hard during that program. No falls, made the triple-triple, but want to see the slo-mos on those jump landings.

I like Skyfall (would be happy for Adele to do more Bond themes and become the new Shirley Bassey) and get why skaters like it too, but couldn't they have found a way to spin it out until the end of the program? The random other bit at the end doesn't work that well.

ETA: yeah, lots of those jumps were under.

Now if she could put this skate together with the short program from Skate Canada she'll have a good competition. Jump rotations are questionable. (Edited to add - only 3 of 11 jumps in the program were called clean by the Technical Panel - 7 rotation calls, 1 pop, and an edge warning. )

105.87 = 1st Place
156.84 = 1st Place

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I would never have known that she was a bad spy switching to good spy from that program if Mark hadn't told us.

 

[Frau Muller]

Wasn’t Audrey a Tammy Gambill skater?

Gambill is still Shin's primary coach, but she's also working the Malinina, and Skorniakov.

 

[Bunny Hop]

The floaty bits at the end of Kurakova's sleeves are really distracting on an otherwise nice outfit.

Dodgy axel. Not great balance in the program, with very little going on at the end.

 

[airgelaal]

I wonder if she will be as happy after seeing the scores

A solid skate for Ekaterina. I enjoyed the program more this time, but I wish she could do something to find some extra height, and speed in her jumps.

115.78 = 1st Place
173.15 = 1st Place

 

[Bunny Hop]

LOL at Kurakova hiding behind the giant bear and Orser holding the bear's paw in the kiss and cry.
