I'm a bit confused with the running order - there's no ice resurfacing between the three groups? Will the ice still be ok for the last group then?

I hope they're mistaken and after the second group there will be a Zamboni, because of course the ice is not going to be okay

Happy to be joining you! Gah ... Both Peacock and the event site said this was happening 4am my time and it is 9:07pm now. Thank you GS posters so I can watch live.

It's only 12 couples - 10 between resurfacing is normal so it's only 2 extra routines. Probably will be fine especially since ice dancers don't use their toe picks as much.

"At least two twizzles for each partner, but three is even better"

Oh god Petra Bindl knows about ice dance even less than I do

She's right though. The minimum for the element is two twizzles. I believe doing a third is one of the level features.

With Ice Dance I miss the tech box even more, because it's just so difficult to get the scoring.

Even though I have the Time Schedule open, I never even noticed that.

Drat! I had a whole pile of things that I planned to do during the resurfacing. Not least doing reminder posts for my kids that are competing at the Ephesus Cup today, which I really should have done last night, but forgot to!

Commentators are more enthusiastic about ID than pairs.

I know that, but her wording makes it sound like you can't get your levels with only two sets (which you obviously can)

They are, aren't they!

Happy to see the Ukrainians being so happy in the KnC

 

[Ichatdelune]

They are, aren't they!

It's probably because with ice dance the mistakes are less noticeable to the untrained eye

Thank you for all you do for GS.

Did I mention how much I hate slowed down versions of songs and this competition is giving me more than enough of that

 

[lileychristie]

Ooh this German team is really good!!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Heh I'm not sure you need to name the song if you're doing literally two seconds of it at the start...but I guess that's the polite thing to do.

 

[ladyjane]

He looks a bit more knowledgeable as well. I liked this German team, fun to watch!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Petra Bindl: Really nice twizzles
skaters: (off-sync)

Yeah no I don't think she knows any better than I do

 

[auser]

Nice lifts but some jarring music cuts

 

[Ichatdelune]

Okay it's probably me and my migraines but being able to call out elements good commentary does not make

 

[ladyjane]

Oh my, the Czech team was excellent. spectacular, and they were singing along with the music! A pity there were just so many combis of music...
