And the commentary begins...


:furious:

 

[leoleo]

i'm switching stream cause i've heard Tarasova talking xD

 

[Step Sequence4]

I wanna go watch Waka now...

Gotta say - I love Daria's high bun this week.

It always looks painful to me. When I had long hair even putting it in a ponytail would cause me to get headaches.

 

[frida80]

Wow I didnt notice because the NBC sports gold title was covering it embarassing

Wait what? Exactly what are they doing? People need that!

 

[Metis]

Am I being completely unrealistical if I want Dasha to medal here ??

Based on what happened at practice at SCI, yes. She’s very likely injured and it seemed extremely likely she would withdraw before the free skate last week. I am concerned for her and hope she isn’t doing anything reckless.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Daria Panenkova is still not 100% on her jumps, but much better than last time. She looks satisfied.

 

[lavenderblossom]

Daria! I am so pleased seeing her happy. Onwards and upwards.

What are they saying?

One example: "It's good that now only two jumps get extra bonus - now finally the programs look balanced. Before they just skated...." What is she talking about? 1 jump not 2. Who backloaded before, Zagitova and Medvedeva, who else to suddenly have balanced programs?

GO Emmi!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

We still don’t know yet, let’s see how she does today!

I really hope she does do well, because I have a massive soft spot for her. She's had a tough few years, so hopefully she'll surprise us.

Hey, look at Tuktamysheva. She had a tough couple of years, then a year where she won everything. Then another tough couple of years, and she looks to be back at her best this season.

It just shows - you never know!

German Eurosport again talking about juniors... TWO juniors coming up

I‘m pretty sure they forgot Alena. How dare they honestly

 

[ruffledgrouse]

RIKA!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry. Being realistic, Rika is probably not going to be in the mix for a medal. But, I just really like her. She did an amazing Riverdance routine a couple of years ago. And she is mixed race - she has British ancestry on her Dad's side.

SHHHHHHH! DOn't draw the bad spirits attention to her!

 

[flanker]

Pretty low score, but she seems satisfied

And the commentary begins...

And the commentary begins...


:furious:

Is it bad that my first thought was that I hoped they'd only comment on the Russian skaters, since they were completely silent during Hanul?

Based on what happened at practice at SCI, yes. She’s very likely injured and it seemed extremely likely she would withdraw before the free skate last week. I am concerned for her and hope she isn’t doing anything reckless.

I didn't realize something happened in practice at Skate Canada...

I know what you mean. Wakaba's Skyfall is so good.

Awwww nice to see Dasha smile
