2015 Skate Canada Autumn Classic International, Oct 12 - 15

Most tangos are so generic in my eyes

 

[OS]

I can't take this weird change in music pitches... must be distracting for her!!!

 

[Mista Ekko]

The occasional Autumn Classic feed Pitch shift on the Aranjuez Violin solo seriously freaked my Cat out

 

[MIM]

Good fight from Elizabet.
Watching her upset at the KnC yesterday, I see she is a little firecracker although she is skating to melancholic music. Good! She is smiling now

I would like to see her skate to a very explosive music one day. it will be interesting.

I agree unfortunately. I did think it was a good performance though

Alright, time for Roxanne! I've been waiting all competition for this.

 

[OS]

There's more performance than Angela's I feel, who I felt skated a bit conservatively.

 

[EdgeCall]

The DJ runs some serious contrast program to the skaters' music ...

I don't think she can hear them- I think it's just over the stream

 

[tulosai]

Beat her personal best LP score by 4 points!

The Razorblade commercial on the Dailymotion feed really does make one wanna cut one's self

 

[ice coverage]

I hope Angela makes the podium .

Well in Chinese Wang is pronounced more like Wong than how English-speakers pronounce it

Well there's only one pronunciation in Chinese, I say it as Wang when I speak English because it's just easier for everyone to understand but really in Chinese it's a little like Wong with a slight A sound? Hard to describe lol Angela is American so it would make more sense to say Wang but some Canadian announcers really try to pronounce names according to their origin and she could be one lol

:agree: Agree 100% with Krunchii that "Wong" (basically rhyming with "song") would be an authentic non-Westernized pronunciation of Wang.

So the announcer should not be mocked for pronouncing it as Wong. [Is that how the announcer pronounced it? I missed Angela's skate :hopelessness:.]

Thx to Doris' pronunciation thread, we can see/hear that Angela herself happens to use an Americanized pronunciation of Wang (rhyming with "sang").

Angela Wang

BUT if the announcer were saying the name of another skater named Wang, "Wong" very easily could have been the correct pronunciation :yes:.

I don't think she can hear them- I think it's just over the stream

That's odd. Are they using an analog signal?

 

[tulosai]

Poor Roxanne. I was really rooting for her to skate clean. She is still one of my favorite Canadians though!

 

[OS]

I don't think she can hear them- I think it's just over the stream

oh... interesting. I never heard of that before stream can mess with audio pitches like that. I hope you are right.

Hey what is this, Roxanne wins for best original music so far. Woman of the land?

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I think the borked jumps at the beginning took some of the spark we saw yesterday out of her.

Gah! I jinxed her

[Mista Ekko]

It's always so sad when someone falls on the last double of a 3 jump combo done well
