2017 GPF Gala

[LadyB]

I missed it since I needed some serious kip for once at this very long weekend. Thanks to Kutien, I can enjoy it all now for breakfast, followed by a long walk through freshly fallen snow! :yay:

I think I read somewhere that banners weren't allowed. Pfffft.
Yeah... bit... meh finale. Just no big party like it usually feels like.

I haven't watched it yet but to be fair the Marseille Gala was also a bit weird.

Not happy to watch the Finale and see that Katia and Harley were left out of the Champions' photo when all the other junior winners were there. Did nobody tell them? Why didn't they wait for those two to be fetched so they were included?

Mikhail reminds me so much of a young Kulik. Enjoyed his program a lot.

Tehehe, i watched his skate and wanted to say exactly this. He has such a nice skating style! And his arms position ....

I liked Nathan's Gala the best. He just rocks the house. I wish Shoma would do another Gala program, I like See you again and This Town, but I'd like to see something new this season.

Very enjoyable gala in my opinion. Don't know how one can find it boring.
