Sure I do :D Thanks. The same hour in Paris?

I'm actually in Washington DC now but will be moving back to Europe soon- this time to Amsterdam. So then it will be the same I think yes :) I am excited to go back, though I think I'm a grass is greener on the other side person- when I am in the USA I miss Europe and when I am there I miss the USA :p

I never understood why they have competitions so late. The top skaters or last skaters end up doing their programs at 11 pm or midnight.

Is it normal for a skater to be able to skate that late?

Well, considering most of them compete internationally in all variety of time zones, yes.

It's probably not ideal but I guess it's like most people if they were asked to do their job at 11 pm- harder than during the normal time, but doable. Maybe it's slightly worse for a skater than for some other jobs due to the physical nature of the job. All the same, they do seem to manage it, and they also have to deal with time zones and stuff too. I imagine to some degree you 'get used to it'. And of course adreneline helps.

also usually, you go to rink to train either very early in the morning or very late in the evening:)

Is this broadcasted on NBC right now? I'm watching an unofficial NBC stream and it's some infomercial of some neck-lifting cream.

No NBC coverage until 8pm EST, and even then, it probably won't be live skating coverage immediately.
