what time zone is 2.30 am so that i calculate mine?

It's 6 hours behind CET.

I've remarked on this before, and I'll do it again: I don't see why the event times are given in EST on the threads here. Many GS posters are not on the east coast, and it seems more appropriate to use the local time (16:35, in this case) or at least to mention both.

[Spun Silver]

Sorry, I added EST to the title. I took the times from IN, which gave them in EST. Feel free to add the times in other zones.

I guess it's because we use whatever source we have. I have to do my math to get the right timezone by EST, have no clue about timezones that are further out.

I'll be doing LIVE play-by-play of the event for anybody who doesn't have a video feed http://backstagebarbie.blogspot.com/...ting_7608.html

Lol, I almost forgot this starts in approximately 9 minutes, I'm having too much fun reading the other threads and laughing my head off I almost forgot about the men's! :rotfl:

Oops, how could I, mens is my favorite discipline after all.

Wow, my first glimpse of Menshov, he looks very very handsome. Love the tux, taking a cue from Gashinski no doubt, now I only need to see Zhenya in one as well.

Armin Mahbanoozadeh (USA)

Music: Kashmir by Led Zeppelin

3F+3T
3A - stepout
CCSp
3Lz
FSSp
SlSt
CCoSp

Okay jumps, solid spins, but he still skates bit juniorish...

[Nadine]

BRAVO, Armin is so very musical I honestly got lost in that phenomenal program to Led Zeppelin (nobody goes wrong with Led)!

And I loved how he hit the 3A right on the beat of the music (too bad about the stepout though).

I recall his perfectly last year at SA, though unfortunately I was suffering from the flu at the time and had to step out in order to vomit, but when I came back the whole audience was standing and cheering his phenomenal breakthrough FS performance!
