YEAH for CCTV-5! My only regret is the slight delay. I would love to have the CCTV-5 video + Eurosport audio if they were synched. Oh well - if wishes were horses.....

Doggygirl - I succeeded in getting CCTV-5 too & turned it off because of delay AND frequently-frozen screen. The Eurosport audio is crisp, clear & easier to 'translate' for readers. Thanks for the tip, though. [I'll rely on the video sites to see the vids sharply later.]
I'm watching the skating on CCTV-5 as well as a tennis tournament on another web link. Hoorah.
Zoltan Toth of Hungary...in last place in SP but delighted to have qualified. Beethoven.
3flip - 2 toe (intended 3-3)
3 loop - hard fall
3 lutz-3 toe....didn't complete
.....(missed middle...got phonecall)
2 axel OK
LOVELY 3 sal out of spreadeagle (hoorah!)
"It left a little bit to be desired...the tallest guy here...maybe too tall?"

I'm new to watching on the web and not sitting through NBC's canned coverage
Anybody know what time -- approximately -- the last group will start? Like 90 minutes from now?
Here comes a 'top gun' from Euros, only 19th here, so far:
Frederic DAMBIER
Romeo & Juliet Prokof. version
ahh...he tried quad sal, didn't work
combo 3 flip-3 toe well done! (worked hard onthem)
3 axel....not even close
"What to salvage?" Simon says.
2nd try at 3 axel - problem, again.
Doubling out of lutz.
3 loop pop-out. "Still has minute & half & his legs are weak..."
Over. "But didn't he sell it well? Audience likes him. Costume sums it up: a performance from the heart." "Last performance as eligible, most likely. Said he probably won't go to Worlds."
Into 3rd, so far:

Eurosport says Pluschenko (firs t of last gp) skates at 22:15, local time. That's 4:15 pm, eastern US time.

Frau, you might want to just turn the sound off on CCTV-5 and let it run for awhile. For me anyway, I usually have to let it run for at least 10 minutes before the choppy video settles down and gets nice and smooth. Not sure if it will be that way for you though....
DG
Thanks
Yay, I'll get to see the last group live!
Dambier sucked. Awful. I feel bad. His coach is so strict on him.
Good luck to Klimkin, I wish I could watch ya!
I might be able to help with some of the later skaters depending on what CBC decides to show, apparently the hockey game conflicts with it. Anyways, the coverage they show is usually live so I'll say whatever I can.
And Dambier sued to participate in the Olys! The results on the ice were not as good as the ones in the court room. The French Fed should send Contesti or Preaubert to Worlds instead!
Awww...I've been called to a meeting. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch last group. Sorry, guys! (sniffle)
Many thanks Frau - your help with these live reports is so appreciated!
Good luck with the meeting, and when you return, I hope your favorites place right where you want them to be.

Go Matt!! Go Johnny!! Evan...... I don't know; meltdown sorry to say?
