I should be around for these events, however, they are taking place during the work day, my time.

I'm prepping the ice early, as it appears last event, Yelim did not perform her duties, and the skaters were NOT pleased with the conditions of the ice.

 

[TallyT]

I've checked the time for all four disciplines and they are either impossibly 'wee hours of the mornin' or I'm gonna be out anyway (I may - may - catch the last 2 or 3 men. Which is nice but I wanted to cheer Jimmy )

So I'll have to pronounce on the fashion faux pas tomorrow.

Same here. But NHK will be better!

Good morning everyone - looking forward to watching the men's competition, and your company.

(A year ago, I was at the same event at Espoo, and was lucky enough to witness @NoNameFace crafting her amazing crowns!)

i have two children competing in men today...

 

[TT_Fin]

I am ready. Trying to think positive, it would have been worst if I already was there and then would have gotten sick and should have stayed only at hotel using room service. Men was the discipline I was waiting most. But there are bigger problems in the world and I haven't had fever today, so I am ready for FS marathon for the rest of the evening. And i saved so much money after cancelling the hotels, maybe next season I could travel to another country watch GP if I have time. But let's concentrate to watch and cheer the men now. My youtube channel does not work, so I watch local channel for a while and tolerate our commentators all-the-time-chatting.

 

[Ruthypegs]

So many great skaters today!

I got away from my meeting early, but can I ask a question? When I opened my VPN and set it to Netherlands (as I have every other weekend) and then came here, I got blocked from GS by someone called 'Wordfence' that said it was protecting this site from 'possibly malicious threats' (come on, I am about as threatening as an easily distracted baby bunny!) As no other site I tried had a problem, I got out and now (clearly) GS works fine.

So does the stream, apparently Aussies don't need a VPN but has anyone else, especially Aussies, had this problem?

 

[sequinsgalore]

How come the ISU stream is geo-blocked in Denmark now? It worked for the other Grand Prixs so far...

 

[icewhite]

I just had half a panic attack, when my Eurosport said again and again it was not available in my country.
But problem is solved now, I'm ready!
(I also could just have done the VPN NL thing again, but I actually prefer no commentators and also it's a question of principle. )

I think it's a great line up today, many entertaining skaters and Kevin on top.

Has Arlet been raiding Deniss Vasiljevs' wardrobe??

That is to prevent GS from experiencing online attacks. VPNs can sometimes make websites think you are a robot or trying to attack the website, so you'll be blocked by website security. Don't worry, it's not you

Very understated costume there, Nikita....
