Lilah!!!

Catherine talking about them competing earlier today, and saying they put in "a barnstorming performance".

She must have picked up some of Chris' catchphrases when she was standing in for him alongside Simon a few years ago.

But, it's good to know she was watching the skating. Former skater herself, before she started commentating on tennis.

For those watching the US coverage, who wants to start a drinking game every time Shaun White talks about himself?

We’ll need to be hospitalized. He didn’t even care about Japan’s national focus on figure skating, preferring to discuss the first Olympic snowboarding in Nagano.

Peculiar outfit for Haiti.

why?

It's a thing they started doing recently, since I think Tokyo 2021. The next host gets the second-to-last slot.

Didn't know there were any Irish this year.

Mustn't be any Northerners, or the local press would have mentioned it.
