Thanks, Sylvia!

IN will have results reports at some point, too. They are up for Regionals, as are Regionals vids.

I'm looking forward to Hawayek/Baker's performance!

And looking forward to Keegan too!

Just tuned in to Icenetwork's coverage of Sectionals and came across commentary with Tonia K and Sarah Hughes. I know the two of them aren't professional broadcasters but it's kind of painful to listen to. Tonia at least has clear diction and clearly her Icenetwork experience helps but she needs some more practice interviewing and keeping the flow of the conversation going.

I was listening to Sarah H before I looked at the video and if she wants to go into broadcasting even if it's just color commentary she really needs to take some voice lessons. Without looking at the video and just listening to the audio she was slurring her words to such an extent that at first I wondered why in the world they got someone who was drunk. Then I brought the video screen forward and realized that it was Sarah.

Yikes!

So annoying!! for some reason they're flipping back & forth from one competition to the other (ie, Mids to Easterns, etc), so you can't watch your own area's kids live. I've missed both performances of my rink's ice dancers because they were showing a different sectional's event during that time. Why wouldn't they they let us choose which competition we want to see??!

[dlkksk8fan]

Is there a schedule for Pacific Coasts that can be found?

59.43 for Vanessa Lam In the SP at Pacific Coast to take the lead. Courtney Hicks in second with 57.80! Great matchup in Utah!

[Mrs. P]

Holy crap at Karen Chen's layout -- 3Z-3L in the SECOND HALF OF THE PROGRAM??! Too bad it was UR on the 3L, but props to her for going for it!

I saw her Glacier Falls videos, and it was in the second half as well. She hasn't let up on trying that 3Lz-3Lo at all this season, good for her!

Did Carly Gold make it to Nationals? Not sure where to find results.
