2016 US Nationals Senior Pairs SP

[ruffledgrouse]

Ugh, I am so ready for this. I disappeared the last three weeks to help pack up my parent's house for their renovation and omg do they have SO. MUCH. CRAP. But I'm at my friend's house now to help her after her surgery and she has given me permission to share all her Oxycontin fueled snark with y'all

15 min till start time, right?

 

[lyndichee]

Can someone provide live updates?

 

[GF2445]

Yeah. I live oustide the US, so its not worth it paying 49.99 (US) just for nationals. All international events are geoblocked for overseas subscribers.
I will rely on you guys and people uploading videos.

Us Figure skating has an official DJ called DJ Romeo and the announcer just admitted he didn't know his cohost's last name until he read her name tag right before they went on air.

Same situation here... I will enjoy seeing what people who are seeing it live have to say though!

 

[wordsworthgirl]

Hi you guys! I'm here, in NYC, and watching live on Ice Network. Will share my thoughts.

 

[Layback11]

I'll try to do PBPs but I'm eating lunch so I might be a little in and out.

Oh dear god, I was hoping you would do the live commentary. I'll do my best, but take note of my tag line

First warm up group is about to take the ice.

Edit: yeah... I'll leave this to Layback and WordsworthGirl

Elements:

3Tw
SBS 3S-he doubles, she falls
Pair spin
Lift-two positions
3STh-hands down
StSq-both getting really into it

Cute program, sold the heck out of that! Troubles on the SBS. Somebody threw them footballs so they have footballs in the Kiss and Cry.

Score: 42.16

The skaters are having a little dance party while waiting to get on the ice

Marissa's dress is a beautiful sparkly gold lace applique :luv17: Mervin is in practice clothes. C'mon, man, step it up if you're gonna be with a woman like Marissa

 

[wordsworthgirl]

1st group just took the ice for their warm-up. 3 pairs. Marissa looks stunning but nervous.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Alexandra and James are dressed like Danny and Sandy at the end of Grease

Elizaveta is in a sleeveless high neck maroon dress with a slit up the side, sheer maroon back, and gold applique. Matej is wearing a grey satin Russian folk tunic with maroon and gold trim.

Alex and James on now.

 

[semosk8tfan]

I can't believe how excited and nervous I am for this event. I hope the skste gods are kind and it is a good competition

 

[Ekm]

Oh no, Grease. I can't stand Grease.

 

[mrrice]

Oh no, Grease. I can't stand Grease.

Bite your tongue....I think Grease is Max Arron's favorite movie.

 

[Art&Sport]

Soon as pairs event starts, and I'm getting this patchy, blurry, skipping stream all of a sudden. I am so tired of IceNetwork not being able to figure out technical problems during streaming!!!

 

[semosk8tfan]

Looks like we get to see the new tech score box NBC was touting

 

[tulosai]

Oh no, Grease. I can't stand Grease.

Aw I love it. It's a cheesefest, but I love it.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

My friend 'B': Oh, woooow...she fell down. I can tell that much!

Alex fell on SBS and hand down on throw thus far. Trying to explain to B the difference between a fall and a hand down
