Petra is stumbling here

 

[lileychristie]

I didn't watch pairs so didn't know that Petra did that, now that was not good. I personally prefer native English speaking commentators because I get distracted when awkward phrases (like "bottom of his shirt") get used

But even native English speakers from different countries have bizarre phrases which their counterparts won't have any idea about
Especially Australians - even after 10 years of living in Australia I'm still learning new expressions everyday

Yanhao! Now there's a star in the making!

And he's on the ice!!!! My son!!!!

I like the announcer, she's so enthusiastic, creating a great atmosphere for these young guys.

we think she is German. Maybe that's why you like her if you watch pairs, you will see why some of us do not appreciate her.

The Korean one? I find her too enthusiastic (goes over cringe territory for me)

Edit: Oh you mean the commentator... sorry got confused

I do hope you know what going down to the servo in the arvo is

Loved Jacob!! His jumps, his skating skills and his personality!! I hope he ends up in the top three after the short program.

No, I got no commentator on the stream, I meant the announcer, but no idea where she's from.

Well the one who is not speaking English is the Korean one

 

[lileychristie]

wtf I thought that music started with a very very bad remix of O Fortuna!?

edit: it is butchered O Fortuna... playing the background.... gosh, just when you thought you've heard everything

 

[Ichatdelune]

The bad music continues...

With bad cuts thrown in for good measure

 

[4everchan]

these music cuts are not working for my wine-infused neurons

[anonymoose_au]

Yeah nah

(one of iconic Oz expressions.... is it a yes? is it a no? )

LOL it's what ever the last word is...

Yeah nah = no

Nah yeah = yeah

Of course there's the ever confusing "yeah nah yeah"

 

[Ichatdelune]

Wait a second does he have tape on the back of his neck???

 

[4everchan]

Petra : not very good.. but it's okay..
