Thanks, Rosaleen. Enjoy your lunch! But wait till dinner for the sake. Wouldn't want your pbp's to get blurry.

21 Joel WATSON NZL
Music: Lord of the Dance / blue top with lighter design
Popped flip / 2a / sit ch sit starts backwards / music now picks up to lilting jig?? You know what I mean for O ftwrk and I think there was a bit of balance check ½ way through and he doesn't seem to have the energy in it that he did at 4c's / ftwrk 2t / sorry - I went into a bit of daydream mode for a second / now into his strt steps and the crowd clapping I think is carrying him through to the end of the program into his flysit /

Thanks for the thought - the pbp might get even better with a drink or two in me
Really what I need right now is a bit of food - just have to try and find some that I don't have to wait in line for forever. . . .

See you in an hour

 

[megrin]

Thank you, Rosaleen, but it really sucks because I'm in Tokyo and it's perfect time to watch the competition live, and yet there is NO LIVE COVERAGE on TV here. I'm also depending on your report...I will go to FS tomorrow, and it does have live coverage on a cable channel; and Fuji TV, which covers the "entire" competition airs it at 7 at night every day, with a lot of fluffs I'm sure and probably omits most skaters but top six or so...sigh.

 

[Spun Silver]

Oh boy, that would be frustrating.

I don't think I can stay awake much longer. It will be hours before my main squeezes (my FIVE main squeezes, not counting a few ) skate.

Hmm - wonder what the odds are of Sandhu making one of his great comebacks in the final slot?

Yawn.

 

[Tigger]

Beyond frustrating!!

Well...I had to make a decision. Skip Groups Three and Four and take badly needed two hour nap or kill myself trying to watch it all w/this awful time difference between Northeastern Ontario and Tokyo. I went for the nap and feel much better and am now raring to go!! :bigrin:

 

[Spun Silver]

Ah, you are so much more intelligent than I am!

 

[Tonichelle]

guess I'll wait and find out tomorrow morning... *sigh*

*big shout* GO EVANRYANANDJOHNNY!

 

[Tigger]

That was one nasty fall on the quad combo. Hope his knee is okay.

Whom do you mean by "he"? Don't scare me!

Really low TES for Lutai, though no fall. He probably popped the jumps. It will be hard for the Russians to keep their two spots for next year.
