[Tastetherainbow]

Yessssss 70 already. I wonder how many more we will see?

Great from A/R! I'm so glad Dmitriev took them under his wing! They came prepared to take advantage of their opportunity on the global stage.

 

[Mista Ekko]

Move on over Adam. Rogonov has overtaken your claim to best booty.

Sorry but Adam had no claim to that title just by talking about his

We have much more serious contenders

That was some great skating from Kristina and Alexei! I liked the replay of their SBS jumps, so in synch!

Although I still don't get why we've got some random Canadian chap commentating with Belinda Noonan...I looked him up...but I've never heard of him before!

And we have our first qualifier! Wooooooooooo!

Fingers crossed for the Czech team and the Aussies and OMG I WANT ALL OF THEM TO MAKE IT AHHHHHHHH

Yes, but I am talking about the local fans. You need international fans and locals to fill a stadium. The international fans who flew to Korea are definitely not going to be worried about the cost of the ticket. But, the local skating fans might be.

Truth. Although frankly I'm pretty sure Japanese fans alone would fill that stadium three times over. But that's still not a time schedule factor--my main point was that although yes, NBC's schedule is causing problems, I don't think it's the sole reason that stadium isn't full.

He almost jumped right into the boards :shocked:

On another hand, this music :noshake:

Imma let you finish but where is Yuzurudaughter's commentary??

She actually went to bed on time tonight. Beforehand I was having a hard time getting streams to work, so we both missed the first group.

Astakhova / Rogonov (RUS)

Wonderful, clean sbs 3S and fairly good triple twist. Two very strong split positions in the lift, and a decent throw triple flip. Good continuous speed through their death spiral, into a choreographically interesting step sequence particularly when they push away from each time. A bit tight on the combo spin at the end but it had good speed.

I like their speed and drama near the end. They could have more expression and energy in the first half, but the music choice really helped accentuate their power and choreography.

 

[nocturnalis]

Isn't Ruben's new partner a teenager? Why is skating to Big Spender?

 

[Lissy]

Wow! That throw was stunning!

 

[Chemistry66]

Sigh, another black shirt with waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much mesh.

GUYS NONE OF YOU CAN PULL OFF THAT LOOK.

 

[auser]

Is CBC lagging for anyone else? Now entertaining ludicrous conspiracy theories about PRK cyber attacks. ..

It is momentarily pausing for me from time to time :yes:

 

[Winnie_20]

Did someone move the barriers during the warming up?

 

[anonymoose_au]

And we have our first qualifiers!

Really...oh dear does this mean two other teams have to go below the Aussies for them to get to the Free?!

 

[SarahSynchro]

Hey big spender, dig this blender, rainbow suspenders, we surrender...
