Does anyone know why the french skaters are wearing that jersey? Mae was wearing it yesterday too

i tihnk its because athletes that died in helicopter crash

 

[NoNameFace]

He is one who is capable of bombing both, so one clean skate is always nice...

this is a golden and authentic line for most of male skaters , well said

 

[OS]

First time I see this young Korean skater. Kind of curious... he got promoted to Senior from JGPF qualification, and Jin Seo got sent to Juniors.

I think it's for the french sportsmans that died in a helicopter crash some days ago (doing some reality show in South America). Maybe I'm wrong, but my guess is it's about that...

Scary 3A

ohh ok thanks, that was a real tragedy.
Nice of them to do that though.

Why not? The sound of the blades is considered an indicator for the quality of skating.

Some of us has been going on that we love the sound of the blade hit the ice as if it is part of the musical performance, no different than if the blade is used as a musical instruments in a recital. It works great with skaters with wonderful skating skills like Patrick Chan. I love the idea personally, problem is it seems a bit out of sync? It sound a bit weird?

I can see that. My friend does Irish step dance and they sometimes mike the stage if they're not using a click track. She they sometimes have a problem with a delay between the mike and the speakers, which subconsciously frustrates the audience.

Candeloro was also there, happily not in the the helicopter.

[Flaya]

First time I see this young Korean skater. Kind of curious... he got promoted to Senior from JGPF qualification, and Jin Seo got sent to Juniors.

He won the national championship.

The Korean federation decided to sent him even though Jin Seo had higher SB and higher TES.

 

[satine]

Oh June, you're adorable... even with that wavy mop on your head :

[karne]

My nervous level is climbing as we approach Brendan. I don't think I could handle it if neither Aussie made the FS.

And no time to sneak off into a corner and cry and then come back for Josh, either.

I am kind of curious hearing Hanyu sandwiched between Voronov and Kovtun

 

[karne]

Uh-oh. Awful song cover time.

 

[EdgeCall]

I like Pavel's dress, but it doesn't fit the music at all.

[WeakAnkles]

Uh-oh. Awful song cover time.

Probably much cheaper than licensing the Adele original.

 

[karne]

Yes, but this is a godawful techno cover of the song and I'm not sure the tux really goes with it.
