2015 Four Continents TV and Webstream

Brenda Irving kills me... "I think Joshua Farris will probably lead the Americans in South Korea." You think?

I feel like NBC's commentary is very political, it is all about justify/propagate the status quo. whereas CBC has indeed lots of stuff about actual skating.

 

[yyyskate]

seems like CBC also prefer Joshua than Denis, here

 

[sabinfire]

I'm just glad that NBC at least mentioned the Shibutanis, C/B, and W/P -- and showed mini-snippets.

Was this around the time of the Ladies warm-up? I was doing laundry around that time so missed a couple minutes.

 

[yyyskate]

Oh, Denis you are so cute

 

[yyyskate]

CBC is going to show pairs

Yes, NBC quickly touched on dance in btwn the men and the ladies.

The ultimate problem is that the NBC broadcast lasted only two hours.
I am sorry that it showed nothing of pairs and only a little bit of dance, but I do appreciate that it did show six of the men's free skates.

Not a surprise. While there are many strong elements for Denis, I really don't care for that program. The choreography is bad, the music literally hurts my ears (it's like a mess of instruments playing the most unpleasant tones possible), and then there's the overly dramatic ending. Ugh. CBC still criticizing Ten's program.

I don't think I've ever heard the CBC team that livid over a program this season. Maybe the closest would be Lipnitskaia at TEB?

that lift is sooo cool

 

[yyyskate]

very synchronized sbs spins, he completely blocked her

break time, regarding music (only music), it is from one of the most celebrated Cellist -- Yoyo Ma, it is an attempt and experimental to bring true oriental music. the assemble of instrument is definitely different from western orchestra, and the notes/tones also has different rules. but most fans who has some sorta oriental background love love this track/editing.

Although I do think that Pang/Tong got overscored, their LP has never failed to give me the shivers

 

[yyyskate]

lovely gift for P/T from fans:

 

[yyyskate]

great broadcast from CBC if they only showed Zijun

 

[sabinfire]

CBC lots of great stuff about Joshua, upload please

Did they show anything else outside of his FS program? I haven't watched the entire broadcast yet.

I love it . And I hope that Yo-Yo Ma knows that Denis has been skating to it this season. Yo-Yo would be very pleased, I'm sure.

I loved the music, too! I read the Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma has done a wonderful job since 2000. The ensemble uses the instruments from the Silk Road region. I found a pipa(a Chinese string) very enchanting when played with other instruments at the climax of Denis' footwork and spin.

Johnny & Tara just said that Polina has the most difficult technical program of all the ladies. Really? So a clean Polina would beat a clean Gracie?

since noone answered, yes BV wise she has hardest program with 7 triples including 2 Lutz and 2 flips (i think closest one might be Elena's, but she repeats loop instead of flip), but she get edge calls or ! almost evertime so idk how it benefits her
