Thanks for the timetable, theoreticalgirl! (Even if I had to do all the conversions twice because you wrote the dates backwards )

I still haven't decided if I'm going to pay up the money. There's one part of me that thinks there's no way I should give in to such blatant extortion...

...but then my heart is pleading to see Max's new programs...

Well, for goodness sake, make bootleg copies and post them on Youtube.

Just make sure you give me a heads up before they take them down and sit you in the naughty chair again. :laugh:

I'm only half joking, you know.

theoreticalgirl, thanks for replying. Appreciate all your information.

Oh, ice coverage, I'm so happy for you that you might be there in person to see Max's new programs!

Well, we'll see...perhaps I will be inclined to let you into The Room Where It Happens, Give You Love, you know? But you might have to Wait for It...

I'm aware that was a dreadful set of puns, yes.

Is anyone going to the the international portion and watching the senior ladies events? I was checking out the livestreams for the rink and they seem awfully pricey ($25 for 24hr) and I was wondering if anyone would be taking videos of the skaters

Wow, if only I had some video skills I could return the karma of all those excellent folks who have taken fancams over the years that I have enjoyed. :drama:

I will be watching the international ladies SP in spite of myself on Saturday, to kill time between Deanna and Nate and the men. Sorry to say, my video skills lag between slim and none, so I will not be able to help. :noshake:

Does anyone know the difference between the ISU events and the Senior Events? Is it different skaters...?

lol, those are some pretty good puns. In fact, one might say that you certainly did not throw away your shot to make them. If you do post bootlegs, please give us a heads up here? I'd love to see a couple of the ladies' programs.

Eh, that's no problem, god knows I have tried taking videos of skaters myself, it's harder than it seems!

I should note that the men's SP at Liberty is at 5:30am on a Saturday morning and I am not a morning person, so any...thoughts...I share will be likely very limited as I will still be half-asleep.

Yes, different skaters are competing. The ISU competition consists of junior- and senior-level events in men's and ladies' skating, and the skaters may use their results to qualify for championship events (Four Continents, Europeans, World Championships, Jr. World Championships, Olympics) if they reach the minimum scores set by the ISU. The club competition consists of novice-, junior-, senior-, and lower-level events in men's, ladies', and pairs' skating. For the higher level skaters (such as Daisuke Murakami), their participation essentially serves as a warmup for upcoming ISU events. Their results will not count for anything in the ISU world.

Anyone have a complete list of the international competitors at the Junior level?

concorde · Aug 3, 2017

Team USA started to arrive yesterday and we got to see Starr practice her 3A. Vincent was just arriving as we were exiting.

I believe I just say Timothy Dolenski in our hotel lobby.

The Junior Ladies short has now ended.

Amanda Kalluf Brazil. Skated last. Spins were VERY slow.

Sophie Abrams Israel. Skated 2nd. Very lovely skater who kinda reminded me of Alyssa C. She fell on one of her jumps.

Anatassiya Khvan Kazakhstan - withdrew.

Jiwon Lee Korea Skated 3rd. I really think that jet lag got the best of this skater. Her spins seemed off and she fell out of at least one of her jumps.

Courtney Kuhn South Africa - withdrew.

Ting Cui United States (2USNov.) Skated first. When she as "on," she was lovely but she fell twice.

Team USA added a skater who was not listed above - I think it was Paige R. She skated 4th and doubled most of her jumps. After her skate, I believe she was 3rd with 1 skater left to go.

NOTE: The acoustics in this rink were horrible to it was hard to hear who each skater was and how they scored. Ting Chu got first and the other Team USA skater got 3rd.

Watching some of the Senior men practice. Just watched Max do a couple amazing 4toe + 3toe combinations.

charmblade · Aug 3, 2017

I'd love (and I'm sure others would as well) any info you might have on Max's program music as well as continued reports on his practice. So happy to hear he's landing awesome quad combos!

Great, thank you so much! Do we have a list of which skaters are competing in the ISU vs the Senior?

I will use men as an example, since my heart lies there: Murakami, Dyer, Savary and Melnyk (?), whoever is in the first post of this thread will skate as part of the "Senior" group (to keep it straight in my head I call it the "club" comp). Everyone else for the men (see my post #11) will skate as the International comp. So tomorrow afternoon I will

And there is only one comp for pairs (and only a few entered), so I will stay to the end after the men to cheer on Deanna and Nate. Even if it means club rink version of "Eleanor Rigby":eeking:

I admire your dedication.

A few times last season I suffered through virtual jet-lag watching o/s live streams from Australia.

Well, THIS is encouraging news. Please give us your take on his new programs after the competition.

I would not normally do this for a summer comp, but it's an opportunity to see Max's new, Olympic programs a full month earlier than I was expecting to see them. I'm not about to miss it.
