2020 Skate America: Ladies' SP

[lariko]

I wonder how the skaters must feel presenting themselves to a cardboard audience.

I think it’s the same as with bowing to the empty seats—they bow to those who stood behind them to bring them to this point, those who would be watching, etc.

(Does Shan Lin train in the US? If not I'm surprised China let her travel here)

She must, or you'd think that china would want her at COC, which is pretty depleted

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I like Gracie's dress

Agreed! She's never gone wrong with the art deco aesthetic

Happy Skate America all . Is That Nicky former BESP commentator I hear on CBC? Or am I dreaming?

 

[Greta]

This warm up song is painful.

 

[CoyoteChris]

Canned applose would be good...

 

[ancientpeas]

That Geiko Gecko in there...

 

[YuBluByMe]

Is it just me or is there a cardboard dog in the “audience?”

 

[balabam]

Wow, so other than Ms. Lin this is basically a preview of US Nationals

Look at all those American flags....

but not a laugh track. It'll start to feel like an old episode of Three's Company.

 

[EdgeCall]

Come on, Gracie. Show us a whiff of your greatness.

 

[Supernovaimplosion]

I'm getting a british guy on you tube.. I wonder what I'd get on CBC..

Anyone on CBC?

CBC appears delayed?? And with commentary

 

[skylark]

There's more than one dog!

And, hello everyone! So happy to "see" you!

 

[cheerknithanson]

I half-expected to hear Ted Barton's voice.

 

[karne]

Come on Gracie!

 

[CellarDweller]

Ok, I've been working from home since this pandemic started in March, and my work laptop has two external monitors attached to it. I just tried to remove one and attach it to my personal desktop, so I could watch the competition on one monitor, and comment here on the other.

Big fail! Could not get it to work. Oh well!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Oh, it's a two piece! That... makes so much sense I wonder why we haven't seen other skaters wearing them

 

[musicfan98]

Not this song. As a fan of rhythmic gymnastics, this song is probably the most overused next to Carmen.

 

[ancientpeas]

Hard to watch. Generous calls on those spins too.

Darn it.. I guess I'll stick with you tube.
