Enjoy this event live - I'll have to catch up later as I'm off to a meeting that I couldn't get out of

 

[Aceon6]

What an exciting morning. But I doubt CarP can pass the home team, so I’m just content to see who‘s boring and who’s voidy today.

 

[Primorskaya]

Warm-up has started

 

[Rukia]

uhhh they all got a lecture from the ref??

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Has the ref ever pulled everyone over for a chat all at the same time before?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

OMG the ref called them ALL OVER to tell them to play nice.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

But the confused expressions on the skater's faces kind of made that worth it

 

[Karen-W]

Has the ref ever pulled everyone over for a chat all at the same time before?

I'd imagine it's not the first time that's happened, but maybe the first in a very long time at this level.

 

[Rukia]

I hope the ref calls the next group over too just because it's kind of hilarious

 

[peibeck]

I thought Yuka and Juho were doing "Cabaret" not "Chicago," based on his look.

[Theatregirl1122]

I'm watching with a non-FSU friend and she was like "why is there so much black?" "How embarrassing, everyone wore the same thing."

 

[Wyliefan]

OMG the ref called them ALL OVER to tell them to play nice.

I didn't make it home in time after all. What brought this on? Was there a near-miss or something?

 

[thvu]

I don’t understand the point of that lift in the step sequence when the steps are this bad…

 

[Theatregirl1122]

This music isn't very... musical

 

[peibeck]

I noticed Danijil giving Mariia a kiss before they came on the ice in a vain attempt to not be claimed for @AngieNikodinovLove 's harem. Silly boy. That won't work.

Mark says their choreo slide is "unique," no it's just ugly. Good heavens they are sooooo slow.

OFTW1+OFTM1
Straight Line Lift 4 + Curve Lift 3
SyTwW4+SyTwM4
Dance Spin 4
Choreo Assisted Jump
DiStW1+DiStM2
Choreo Slide Move
Rotational Lift 4
Choreo Character Step Sequence

This program is a much better fit for them than the rhythm dance. Using the boards to do some sort of jump over Mariia - people will be clutching their pearls.

89.83 = 1st Place
147.40 = 1st Place

Overcompensating for the RD 80s outfits

 

[Rukia]

I went to read twitter instead of watching

 

[Belsornia]

Ignateva/Szemko - This packaging suggests Svinin & Zhuk may not be totally over StepBuks leaving. Loved the combo lift, didn’t love the whiny nasal vocal. I hadn’t realised he had been injured; guess that’s why they seem undertrained this season.

Overcompensating for the RD 80s outfits

But so many wear black there too

oh my goodness I decided to start by watching the pairs free program today and I think I’m done… I think I’ll save the rest of these disciplines until after the Grand Prix final, my nerves are shot

I don’t even think I’m gonna watch the realness and the womens free skate today, I just need some Tums

 

[airgelaal]

Ok, I got it. Program about Dyson

 

[JoannaLouise]

Mark continues to be my hero, calling it a "bold choice" to use music called "Slip" for a skating program.

 

[peibeck]

I didn't make it home in time after all. What brought this on? Was there a near-miss or something?

People are being lifted and the trauma after pairs is still fresh?

 

[Amy L]

I know the ankle injury has been mentioned a few times, but isn't this the same dude who got stabbed last year??

I believe there was a near miss.

Bingo!
