Aaaargh!!!! I just reached the end of the Group 1 warm-up, and the Sky box decides to change channel on it's own!!! :mad: :mad:

(I don't know why, but it sometimes does that!)

So, because I live-paused it rather than recorded it, I've missed the first 4 routines!!! :mad: :mad:

Oh well, at least I can now keep a track of the comments being made here live. ;)

And Eurosport2 Nordic is showing old soccer goals!!! After the men's free the commentator said they would be back with the pairs in 15 minutes and now, 50 minutes later they are still showing old soccer goals! Ridiculous and infuriating! How many hours of soccer and snooker do they show in a year and how many hours of figure skating? Just wondering....

It was driving me batty! I missed the rest, and sat down to watch the pairs'... And there was... Eurogoals! Though the program info on my digital box still claims it was showing "Konståkning". Then I looked up their schedule:

http://tv.eurosport.se/tvschedule.shtml

Apparently they've changed their minds - or should that be "minds"? Apparently they suddenly realised they just could not live without football? I can understand not showing something - but what really drives me round the bend is claiming to show one thing - and then turning round and showing something else instead! I'm glad I'm not literally given to teeth-gnashing - or else I'd be left with mere stumps by now! And if you'll all pardon my saying but - Grrrrrrr!!!!

Good Heavens! I just found a working stream.... and they were showing something from the men.... What in the name of goodness.... ?!

:jaw:

I'm not sure if I should be sorry... or glad to have missed all that?!? I'll catch up on in later, but...

(Yes, I know this is the wrong thread, but somebody said something about the men's thread having turned toxic, and I'm not sure I want to venture in there... at any rate wholly unprepared! I need to find out what actually happened first... )

The men's event wasn't toxic - it was just very dramatic because of the collision during the warm-up. Luckily both skaters involved did compete, showing great character.

Eurosport were just re-capping on what happened in the Men's during the group warm-up. So, if you wanted to watch the Pairs, I hope you didn't leave it!


By the way, with there being so many splits this season, I can't remember all the stories that accompanied them.

So, what happened with Larionov? I think that he ditched Vera à la Katsalapov, but I can't remember if he got a new partner.

yes Larionov paired with the (ex) Estonian skater Zabiako and they are in the same training group led by Nina Mozer

Let's see if the Chinese will sweep the podium in Pairs to make up for the bottom three finish in Ice Dance.

Thank you, alebi.

CaroLiza_fan

I also remember that Yuri (and Mozer) was already planning to skate with Zabiako before the official split, that's why it was a "Katsalapov" separation

(LOL we just coined a new adjective :p )

The British Eurosport commentators keep implying that the TES counter box is only showing the base value without the GOE added :|
