2024 World Championships Men's Short Program

[el henry]

I plan to watch most of the men's short, but will likely skip pairs later because it's just too late.

I feel your pain from when comps are in Europe or Asia, for me.

I cannot tell you what a luxury it is to have Worlds in my time zone. (of course, it also means life may interfere )

what a heated discussion here even before start

 

[Ichatdelune]

The name that was butchered the most (with my limited knowledge) yesterday was Loena Hendrickx.
I often heard LE-O-NA and no X at the end...

Oof that's bad. I remember the male announcer pronouncing Sasha Korovin's 'vin' part like it was French for wine as well

 

[balabam]

Me and bro are here and layered up. While at the cafe before walking over here, we saw two curious things: one, some fool wearing jeans and a short sleeved shirt and nothing else and a car covered in snow.

Hi

Are we ready for this chaos?

Are we having a mic situation here? Don´t think Mark realize the mic is on? Most likely he only says sweet things...

Last time when British guys from Eurosport didn't know they are on... you know what it was

but in Canada you can't say Canadian b*tch

 

[elbkup]

The plan is to make a full day of it, both men and pairs.. BUT we have strong winds here gusting 35-40 mph predicted thru the day to late afternoon..
If it blows down a tree we could have a power outage.. it dies not happen

Happy Birthday Mark

 

[elektra blue]

Donovan!

 

[snowflake]

This will be super exciting. I'll try to watch as much as I can. Probably saving some goups for tomorrow. How can people in the audience sit through 40 men? Gold to them who make it

 

[CellarDweller]

Ok, here we go!

 

[balabam]

Before the action gets underway:

HAPPY 39th BIRTHDAY MARK!!!



Hope you have a great day, and that the coming year is a good one for you, both on and off the ice.

Oh, and I hope that taking us through 40 cacti on your birthday is not too stressful!

CaroLiza_fan

Great cacti! You are too prepared. I am jealous
And Happy Birthday to Mark. I didn't know he is even older than me by few months

 

[CellarDweller]

 

[el henry]

That color from Danilants is a choice

 

[elektra blue]

Semen is a nominee (also best accidental innuendo)

 

[Ichatdelune]

Hmm PJ Kwong getting 'Jari' wrong... not a good omen pronunciation-wise

 

[CellarDweller]

I'm suddenly thirsty for a lemon/lime flavored drink....

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

i'm planning to watch the whole things minus the 15 minutes of my dinner break (tuna salad, i'll be quick)

I'll be leaving towards the end of Group 3 for food, but I will pause the stream and come back after eating to play catch-up for the rest of the evening.

I want to make sure I get all of the Men's SP watched today, because I will be trying to catch up on the overnight F1 action when I get up, before the bikes come on.

As you've probably worked out from that last statement, this marathon of chaos will be the last skating that I watch with you guys. Motorsports will be taking over tomorrow for the rest of the weekend. But, I hope to start playing catch-up on the skating from Monday.
