That's the spirit! Of choice.

spirits in this case and no ice (or olive, but i have oranges)

 

[Jontor]

I feel the same way. I think the draw is completely wrong and does any other sport do this?

No, because it is completely illogical and just wrong...

pizza chicken wings and Figure Skating

You have no idea how funny I find this reply!

Earlier today I was talking to a coworker, and I told her how it was a figure skating week for me. She asked me if I had an special snacks to anything to enjoy during the competitions.

My reply:

"Well......not really. It's not like football where you have pizza and wings."

unpopular opinion : I like the draw because in my opinion skating last is a negative for the skater (beeing so far from your warm up and also with extra pressure build up). Just look at what happened to Adam Sia Him Fa yesterday.

 

[EdgeCall]

Can someone please hug Anastasia in my name to give her a morale boost. Her depressed face pains me.

 

[CoyoteChris]

Did the ISU feed have issues like Peacock did during Dance?

 

[snowflake]

Can't believe Gubanova is in the first group. Hope she does well in the free.
