I can't seem to find a program on the first link and the second one is asking me for a microsoft log in...

From another site - list on Twitter:

The ISU YouTube stream is up. Hanretty talking. A cheering squad began.

 

[Skate Talker]

Reread Sylvia's post properly (duh) and managed to open the program from the isu site

Those Cheerleaders were pretty random.

 

[Frau Muller]

I see that Adam Fa will close the first half, rather than skate with other gold medalists at the end of the show. Maybe he has to leave early, to catch a flight to China?

 

[Aceon6]

Those Cheerleaders were pretty random

As was Boyang shilling for the animals.

 

[BlueRidge]

dipping in and out, what was that C-pom was doing? I liked that.

 

[Skate Talker]

She was portraying Wednesday - perhaps he was Thing?

The revised program shows Adam 5th to go in the second half now.

 

[BlueRidge]

She was portraying Wednesday - perhaps he was Thing?

I thought she might be Wednesday because of the braids. that's pretty much all I know about the second incarnation of the Addams Family.

 

[BlueRidge]

That was really lovely from Wakaba.

 

[Skate Talker]

Cami appears to be wearing the dress from their Free program. This is by far the most flattering outfit I have ever seen her in. It actually suits her body type for once.

 

[Skate Talker]

Olivia's face looks so different to me this year that I have trouble recognizing her except for the hair.

 

[BlueRidge]

I like Smart & Dieck's exhibition way better than their Free Dance.

 

[Skate Talker]

Who was Guba’s Ken?

 

[BlueRidge]

Who was Guba’s Ken?

Tim Dieck. He's everywhere

 

[BlueRidge]

yikes can Ilia not do stuff that looks like he would hurt himself.

 

[Wyliefan]

yikes can Ilia not do stuff that looks like he would hurt himself.

Not watching, but this is an evergreen wish.

 

[BlueRidge]

Not watching, but this is an evergreen wish.

oh yeah

otherwise was loving his skate, and I seldom enjoy men's exhibitions!

 

[Aceon6]

yikes can Ilia not do stuff that looks like he would hurt himself.

Youda thunk Raf would have reminded him that Nathan lost 6 months after the exhibition quad failure.

 

[Holy Headband]

Why is there so much stripping and self-groping in a 16-year-old's exhibition program? Based on this and Loena's entire career I'm starting to wonder what's going on in Belgium.

 

[BlueRidge]

Youda thunk Raf would have reminded him that Nathan lost 6 months after the exhibition quad failure.

He might have, but Ilia's at that age when we believe we are immortal.

We'll just keep our fingers crossed!

 

[BlueRidge]

oh yeah

otherwise was loving his skate, and I seldom enjoy men's exhibitions!

oh now I really liked that operatic number from Yuma!

 

[honey]

This dress is infinitely better than anything Isabeau has worn competitively in the last two seasons. And she actually kind of has the sass and confidence to pull off Madonna. More in this direction please.

 

[Holy Headband]

Suddenly I'm liking Levito's skating so much more when she's not dressed like Louis XIV furniture.

 

[honey]

Oh and Mark tells us it’s not even her dress . It’s one of Penny Coomes’ dresses.

Maybe Penny has something for her that would work for her Free Skate!

The cameraperson was obsessed with candle shots during Plazas/Fernandez.
