As much as I'd prefer to listen to Simon and Chris on BE, every last link in this thread is FUBAR'd - either the audio is several seconds off from the video, the "video" is more like a slide-show, or there's sound with black screen of death.

:bang:

The only Russian non-sportbox.ru thread (I will not download HOLA) that works for me squirrels up the sound a good bit, and at least half of the video has the skaters "catching trails" as they move across the ice.

Why is it so friggin' difficult to get a decent online stream of figure skating? The mind, it boggles.

Is it bad that I really want John Coughlin to retire just so he can continue doing commentary for Ice Network? He's doing really well and his voice is very nice.

Totally agree! He was great on the pre show. Is he also commentating the pairs comp?

The lifts looked akward. I hope this will work out in future. Annabelle is much taller than last year.

Grenier and Deschamps have a nice program; it's too bad they had so many errors today. I really like their costumes as well.

Decent program by Maddie and Max, but I feel like they are somewhat mismatched. She has such wonderful posture and extension, and he seems really hunched over. The lifts also looked like a bit of a struggle today.

Compared to the last comp where he dropped her from a lift, I think they've gotten better :laugh:

Ooh I really like Maddie and Max. I haven't really paid attention to them before but they are wonderful. They compliment each other well and they don't have any glaring weaknesses other than maturing.
