Who used to comment with Nicky? I'm missing his succinct answers. Joanne just goes ON and ON and ON

Maybe we need Mark Henretty (Commentated on Brit Eurosport during CoC) again.

Yeah I think she's trying to explain more about the details so unsophisticated viewers can understand more but it is a little excessive.

You think so? I felt that she was organizing her thoughts as they were coming out of her mouth. At least that's what it seemed like, because she got absolutely nowhere. I'll stop now

NEON PINK and Zebra!!!! 0_o

Did she do BBC commentary for Sochi OLympics?

No, that was Sue Barker (former tennis player).

Joanne has done commentary with Eurosport on and off over the years.

She was on Eurosport around 4 times last season. And it was very noticeable that each time she was on, she talked more. The first time she didn't talk much (probably nervous, as it had been a long time since she last commentated). The 2nd time, she got the balance right. But after that, she couldn't shut up. And it was really annoying, because you couldn't hear the music at all!

Suffice to say, she tends to be somebody who really divides opinions on here!

Yu/Jin' s program has some soft of concept, but I don't know exactly what it is.

Haha I felt that way too while waiting for the score.

Maybe that's the concept

The two falls have sort of knocked the wind off their sails unfortunately.

Two falls for her, sadly...

SP: 25.20+25.19-2.00 = 48.39, 4th (out of 6)

I second this notion.

 

[lyndichee]

Yeah I think the skate was meant to be whimsical to some extent but both seem pretty stone faced.

 

[satine]

I don't understand her harping on her size. Heavier bodies (be that a half pound or twenty) are harder to be thrown up into the air. I think everyone gets this...?

 

[Winnie_20]

Oh my, did she just go "In my opinion, and it's my opinion and I'm gonna give it" ? Ugh... I'm almost tempted to listen to the Dutch commentary again. Almost.

 

[GF2445]

She looks really sad. I hope she will have a stronger skate tomorrow.

 

[elee63]

"a small person...or.. a taller..girl"

 

[elee63]

here we go. CANADA

 

[GF2445]

Great 3Tw

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Oh she looks sad in the K&C. Hopefully she can't hear the commentary :scowl:

 

[lyndichee]

She's 153cm...just over 5ft tall, why are they commenting on her size :$
