And the trumpets have sounded for the last event of the day

 

[Primorskaya]

I love all these thread titles.
Someone please stop that woman announcer I can't deal with her voice. she's been doing this for like 20 years so clearly the ISU/French Fed think she's doing a great job and I just can't deal with that.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I wish they had the pairs event before the men because I feel like this will be a little anti-climactic

 

[victorskid]

A reminder

 

[Primorskaya]

They're just announcing it on air now. I hope she's not too badly hurt!

It’s like having a hangover while you’re still at the club.

Is it wrong I’m happy a pair withdrew (could’ve been any of them) just so it’s over sooner?

 

[Colonel Green]

Ooh, cool music choice.

 

[Wyliefan]

I didn't know Vikings wore kicky little scarves, but okay.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

These are the most sparkly Vikings I've ever seen

 

[thvu]

This program is a struggle to watch.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

He has the flexibility and the functionality of a chair

 

[Colonel Green]

Side-by-side jumps are not his friend today.

 

[Rukia]

vikings can only sparkle, not do sbs jumps

 

[floridaice]

He has the flexibility and the functionality of a chair

and the jumping ability too

 

[made_in_canada]

Omg, do I see panties

 

[Sally1214]

Oh my goodness, this is NOT going well for Oxana and Flavien.

 

[Rukia]

well no one died so that's a success

 

[tony]

Even when he flipped her over, she couldn't find her toe pick. They just don't skate like a team yet and they have no relationship to the program or music.

 

[Private Citizen]

Side-by-side jumps are not his friend today.

Even without the falls they deserved -5 for lack of synchronicity.

The last lift was scary

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

That last lift was just...wow.
I mean some of my attempts to make a press lift with @TAHbKA looked less scary.

 

[airgelaal]

Too much creativity isn't always a good thing

 

[Karen-W]

VouGin - that program felt about 15 minutes long and was not enjoyable in any way. AWFUL music, skating like they were slogging through molasses, and twice ss much red as green blobs.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

did she end the program with a bloody nose?

 

[Asli]

Oxana's mum may pull her out of the sport after seeing that last lift. I would!

 

[Hanna]

I hope we get V/G program (remotely) clean one day because it's kinda cool. Love the music and choreo of the first minute especially.

 

[thvu]

Why has snoozy ballad + Einaudi become so common.

 

[tony]

SBS 2A at least took off at the same time.

He opts for more of a running edge after turning for the Salchow, and she goes right up which accounts for their difference in timing. Stellato and Deschamps used to have big issues with their timing and they got creative with different entrances until they learned a technique that worked for both.

 

[Colonel Green]

These two are coming along nicely.

They seem to fit together better than he did with Hamon.

major wedgie for Oceane
