On Site Reports @ Worlds 2016

[TMC]

Did anybody happen to notice how Törn/Partanen did in practice? (Gravity & green outfits FD/Sinatra & peach dress SD) It would break my heart if they didn't make it to the free...their FD is so sweet.

I feel you. Like I feel heart palpitations right before they compete and it feels like your heart skipped a beat for a little too long and you get this feeling of anxiety....

I concur. :yes: It's horribly nerve-wracking in the best of ways. :yes:

 

[RemyRose]

There's a line to get in and its not moving quick enough :noshake: Its not moving at all.

ETA: Okay so apparently people are lining up that don't have a practice pass. If you have one you can walk on through.

So where are the Russian ladies?? It would be a coffin-nailer, so to speak, if they all withdrew, and great confirmation that Kovtun is not drugging.

Disgusting insinuation.

I was on the same flight as them, they got to Boston yesterday evening.

Yikes! I better start layering faster and get my butt up there! Don't want to miss the SD!

Alaine: looked strong, almost clean FS run through. very cute, nice interactions with fans.

Yep. Spotted Radionova and Pogorilaya at the gate in JFK, didn't realise Medvedeva was with them until I was standing near her at baggage claim at Boston.

Does Zhenia look like a baby Michael Jackson in that hat or what?

 

[Batsuchan]

Weaver Poje had a bad fall in the practice during the Shibs run through. They both were down on the ice. Weaver looked a bit shaken but they look ok now.

Han: condition good, looked happy. Fan girls went crazy for him. spending long time autograph and selfie with fans.
SoYoun: condition not good.
Patrick: condition not so good, looked intense.
Gracie: condition good
zijun: condition normal, spend long time sign and photo with fans
Sui/Han: looked serious, 4S attempted a few, landed 1.
wang/wang: pretty cute, light hearted.
zhang/peng: condition good
Japanese skaters all look strong(will have tons of repo about them I believe.)
dance:
W/P lift problem
P/C twizzle problem
other big names ice dancers looked strong

edit: anecdote about Han, spins improved faster, but he sat down on one of his spin last position. kinda funny and cute.

edit: Han also interacts very well with other skaters on and off ice. seems a very social guy. high five(sorta) with another skater (whom I dont know name) when he stepped onto ice. all very cute.

forget Denis... condition better than I thought, 4S landed but 2 footed.
forget Javi.... charismatic practise session, fans love it.
forget Boyang... .... looked serious....., tried many 4T, 4lz tried just a couple, not prefect consistent(he can land 9 4LZ out of 10 according to previous repo, but not this time), also he can hit music note very precisely.

Thanks for the report, yyyskate!
This makes my awful deadline for work right now more bearable haaa XDD

Alaine: looked strong, almost clean FS run through. very cute, nice interactions with fans.

I remember Alaine looking way younger in person than i expected - even more so when she's not in full-competition-makeup mode. Very cute! I got a photo with her in Taipei and she made me look like an old fogey LOL

 

[TheGrandSophy]

Pre-comp zamboni going on now. The French looked good in the half of their run-through I just managed to catch.

What an absolutely superb video. Thank you. :clapper:

The 3A, albeit two-footed, was clearly not UR.

 

[VIKTOR]

Where can I see the contents jump men short program ?

 

[karne]

I made it through. With tim tams and caramellos, so hit me up if you need a chocky fix

I'm so jealous you were on their flight! Any diva-tude to report?

 

[cheerknithanson]

Regardless of what happened, I just hope no injuries happen.
