When I saw who was sitting in the Kiss and Cry, I was hoping someone would post the picture

There was a family who was quite enthusiastic in cheering Olivia and Luke, and I now realize it is probably Olivia’s family as she is now sitting with them behind me. The seats are quite far from the ice, and everyone in our section cheered when the little girl successfully threw her stuffie to the ice earlier on in the competition.

Ava and Yoni are my favourite junior pair in this entire field. I hope they skate as beautifully as they can do.

 

[NanaPat]

Well, that was boring. And not very French.

 

[4everchan]

[4everchan]

Go Ava/Yoni! I tried hyping them up last year to my co-workers that there was a pairs team from Winnipeg that placed 6th at JWC, but I don't think it worked, lol.

 

[4everchan]

rough skate... but they are still my faves !

 

[CoyoteChris]

Stream got wonky!

 

[4everchan]

oh well.. they will shine in the free..

 

[4everchan]

mmm... interesting.. marly have a small bronze medal... not something I expected after their SP.. but yeah... a couple teams have mishaps and that's it.

The Ukrainians needed to skate clean.... with doubles, you cannot mess up

 

[4everchan]

in how much time are the women skating ?

 

[saine]

There's 0.81 point difference between 3rd to 5th place, they're pretty tight there.

The rink announcer kept saying every pair was from the US in the last group (in Mandarin) but she corrected herself. She must have gotten her notes confused. It was kind of funny.

Both American pairs were really noticeable in their ability to perform to the cheap seats. All the tiny women's pairs skaters are so brave. I'm scared for them. They seem calm.

They *are* calm, as much as any skater can be in a big competition anyway. Been there, done that. If the girl is afraid of the pairs moves, she doesn't last long enough in the discipline to reach that level of competition. Pairs girls had a saying in my day: Chickens don't fly.

The Georgians are in their own competition. Amazing but wow that music was horrible in person. Among the other teams, I was impressed by the performance ability of the two top US teams. The basic skating of the top two Canadians and Ivan from the Ukrainian pair. He's incredible. His edges really stood out to me.
