This music (which, believe it or not, was composed by Hans Zimmer!
) popped into my head when I read that post:"Going For Gold" theme tune

Overall, I thought this was a great event, lots of good performances! Too bad for Daria and Michel, they cannot catch a break (first ones to not qualify for free at Olympics and the only ones not to qualify here)! I hope they will rebound for the next season!
It wasn't as bad as the score shows. They lost the whole step sequence due to a freak fall from him. And had another costly error as well.

I know! I kept trying to work out which skater (in any discipline) to blame for starting that appalling trend...

And only red or green boxes, with the reviewed moves just underlined.
Yes. It was excellent to put review as a separate indicator. There's a big difference between +GOE under review and -GOE under review.
I found the underline a bit subtle through. Could they not put a black capital R in the green or red box to indicate the element is under review? That is, you'd see a black R on a background of a solid green or red box. It would be more noticeable than the underline, and easier to interpret.

You do if you watch on your computer, and are so technologically inept you lose the show if you try to switch to GS. I pretty much have to wait to the end and then come here and read the streamof comments. Sometimes I can do a successful switch during the ice cleaning, but it's random.
Like @NanaPat , I only get to watch half the events. Not a fan of getting up at 3:50 a.m. to see the first event of the day, so I'll only see the ones that are late morning out here on the Pacific shore, like Pairs SP was.

I was watching on Gem, and for the last few groups Mark seemed to develop laryngitis and croaked the whole time. I assumed it was CBC acting up, and not him taking suddenly ill
. I didn't notice much difference with the music, just the commentators' voices.For me, it sounded like Mark was talking on a cell phone that was going in and out in a staccato way. Then it would clear up for a few seconds, then start up again.

At least my video was OK. For me it started with M/B. It was as if the Bolero beat continued on into the commentators voices for the rest of the competition.

GEO, UZB and UKR judges had Metelkina and Berulava in first
Everyone had Pereira Michaud in 3rd.. However, interesting to note that Swiss judge had them in first in TES and that the same trio of judges, GEO, UZB and UKR gave P/M their lowest scores
Great Britain judge had Laurin Éthier in 5th !!!!
I want them to do well but I know what you mean. A lot of facial contortion from Nikita but so little actual emotion. Though that is their style I guess.I know they are excellent, and I appreciate that, but I do find Hase & Volodin kind of bloodless.
But it may be just because I enjoy their teammates more

I will - tonight's the night! So happy about SK TeamsYuna NAGAOKA / Sumitada MORIGUCHI (JPN) skating to a re-mix of Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". (I think it is him singing).
Yuna is wearing a dress that is black, red, orange and yellow. (It's not as bad as it sounds. It is actually nice! It would make a good dress for a "Firebird" programme). Sunitada is wearing a top that starts as orange, and then becomes black as you go down. And black trousers.
I really enjoyed that.
Fedor Klimov looking very serious. @LadyB - go cheer him up!
They go into the lead.

I didn't think of the weak phone signal sound, but you're right.
I keep trying to watch on regular CBC, but when I first go to cbc.ca, it tells me abruptly: Watch on Gem.
Which is a bit of a pain if I forget and tune in late, and then have to fiddle around finding the sports section and sign in and so forth and so on, having no interest in their other offerings. I used to be able to just go straight to my bookmarked cbc.ca/sports/winter/olympics/figure-skating (or whatever the URL was).Similar threads
