2014 Lombardia Trophy

[LRK]

@sequinsgalore - You are back! Thanks for all the pbp:s!

 

[Meoima]

You and me both, bartlebooth! Apparently my stream didn't like it either, as it chose then to start acting up, althought it had (mostly) hitherto been behaving itself...

I think we shouldn't pity ourselves, pity the judges.

I think we shouldn't pity ourselves, pity the judges.

You do that! I confess I'm too selfish to have any pity to spare for them.

I actually quite enjoyed that. Of course, there were mistakes, and of course they haven't been able to work themselves into, so to speak, unison yet, being so new as a pair - but I do think they are better matched than Bazarova/Larionov, and I definitely think they have potential. I liked them.

Despite the mistakes, I see some really nice improvements in Denny/Frazier! The twist was lovely and just the overall polish was up a notch.

Not so sure about the Godfather vocals though...

Thanks for the post. Quite my thoughts. I never liked B/L, but these two match.

Does anybody know, what's with Prölß/Blommaert?

 

[cali1079]

P/B withdrew. I hope nothing happened. I enjoy watching them.

Food poisoning, the same as Brezina.

Wow. What about the others?
Food poisoning is really nasty. I read somewhere that a lot of skaters don't eat any sea food, fresh salads or sushi before a competition to prevent that very thing.

I'm sorry so many people's streaming is not working. Mine is working great, much better than the US International Classic last week, which I PAID for (via IceNetwork).

Yeah. The same with me.

Clearing the browser cache seemed to help me (until the next skater I like comes on, at least )

And don't forget to clear the flash player cache as well as the browser cache. A bloated flash cache can be a source of problems with streaming as well as other things. Here's the site to clear the flash player cache: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html

Wow, I was wondering about that. Brezina was definitely in Milano (he posted on his IG) -- really have to be careful with what they eat during competitions overseas, it seems.
