Wait....I before E except after C and neighbors weighing ancient glaciers???? I bet Japan doesnt have those kinds of spelling rules. Best wishes to all the ladies...so many I want to do well....

[Mathman]

I am most looking forward to Rinka Watanabe and Ami Nakai. Can they pull out all the stops and crack the leaderboard?

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

I'm mostly looking forward to Alysa, although I'm a bit sad that her Gaga FS isn't quite ready yet and well I LOVE everyone in this Final! I wish that ties on the podium were allowed! Sigh..

 

[TallyT]

I'm not able to make it, so @elektra blue will have to hold the fashions to account. 'Night, all!

 

[LazyFuzai]

Now there

 

[elektra blue]

I'm not able to make it, so @elektra blue will have to hold the fashions to account. 'Night, all!

i'm going to miss the majority of skaters too

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Here Come The Girls!!!

Since the first partnership in the Senior Pairs FS had already skated when the F1 Free Practice 1 coverage finished, I decided to skip the Pairs and instead finish the Junior Ladies FS, as I wanted to know the results, and I don't trust Mark and Ted to not give spoilers.

But I'm here now LIVE for the Senior Ladies SP, which should be finished before the F1 Free Practice 2 coverage starts.

ALL THE BEST EVERYBODY!!!

[CaroLiza_fan]

Erm, where are Mark and Ted?

Have they forgot to switch on their microphones?

CaroLiza_fan

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Phew, there they are now.

[CaroLiza_fan]

She is definitely a character!

[LazyFuzai]

So are we here for the Last Dance from Kaori and cheering for her gold?

 

[cocteautwin]

Kaori please never change

 

[Karoltyna]

so I missed half of pairs - I hate my job...

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Haha Kaori, what's with the rubber chicken

She's been watching this guy from Taiwan who was on "Britain's Got Talent" earlier this year:
