They have replays on ISU. At least they have for years and years. I can't discount the possibility that they won't have replays this year but if you look you can see years worth of replays right now. And yes, if the ads are in Dutch it is woring
How many stuffies can you fit in a tiny plastic bag? We are all over on the Practice Cam Chat thread
Hopefully there will be lots of stuffies and things to cheer on the skaters. I can't wait to see what Knerim/Frazier are doing and the debutting of Chock and Bates. GOld is there's here and at worlds.
The women's practice has not started. It will be after this ice resurface. We are all over on the Practice Cam Chat thread.
Gracie looked solid, jumps landed, spins top notch, and she looks fit-a bit slow but good. Amber also looked very good.
That’s correct. A manager of the security personnel confirmed that unopened plastic water bottles can be brought inside the rink. Reusable (like aluminum) water bottles can be brought inside but they must be empty.
Thanks for your report. I posted the FanFest info upthread, but would love a look at the concession menu.Notes from the rink:
I have a photo of the entire concessions menu for anyone interested, and the details of the fan fest activities. I can also report that the clear bags are being required but a wide variety of sizes are being let in and they don’t seem to be looking in them—just verifying that whatever you have is in clear plastic.
In addition to my pairs notes I’ll report—
Men—
Cha is just unbelievably charismatic. I found myself looking away from the men who were, you know, actually out there running through their programs, just so I could watch Junhwan doing some stroking in a corner. He also has the most beautiful complexion I’ve ever seen on a man, and that Ina Bauer of his—what you don’t realize on TV is that he goes halfway round the rink with it. Yes, Mr Cha is a star
Daniel Grassl looked strong and was one of the few to do most of his program, many of the rest (including Ilia) mostly marked their jumps. Ilia looked strong and secure but was clearly not in a mood for showing off today.
Really liked Sena Miyake, who I’d never seen before, lovely soft style. Also liked Dith Tran who looked secure and expressive, you can really see the influence of Jeremy Abbott on him.
Ladies—Gracie looked very competitive with the other ladies in her flight. One pop, but strong combos and jumps, seemed to have more stamina than in the past.
Amber Glenn has changed her hair color to a silvery grayish-blond that looks like something out of Game of Thrones. Her jumps looked decent.
Kaori reminds me of Midori Ito!
Anybody who wants the menu—pm me your email and I’ll send the photo!
I have a Dutch Motorcycle friend. He has a heavy accent. When we go into Canada, they ask him where he is from. He says, "Athol!"
Honeymoon opertunity!
So far I like Proton. Its intuitive and the free version appears to work. It shows a constant download speed if you wish it to. The paid version with the fast speeds is only $6 a month. The Dutch youtube commercials arent as entertaining as the Japanese ones on MujiTV , but one must make sacrafices. Congrats on the Wedding! I was never so happy as when I was married the first time....
