Alright, back from work just in time for the zamboni! Did I miss Shoma?

 

[Sackie]

Sorry that you find it more offensive to see a typo than you find it to be rude about the commentator you know nothing about.

 

[viennaskater]

Hum - Peter Liebers is quite sexy!

Wrong week, honey. No Shoma here.


Awwwwwwwwww Peter!

 

[QuadThrow]

Danke schoen to karne for your commentary.

A bite of Apfelstrudel mit Kaffee would hit the spot right now :yes:.

!

In Addition to a bite of Apfelstrudel Germans are used to enjoy Vanilla ice Creme.

Why is Muse always the skating go-to when doing something in alternative rock? I wish someone would skate to Radiohead. I mean....similar genre and way better compositions!

Couldn't agree more!

I don't have to know anything about her for her to be annoying to my ears. And the typo is no more offensive. In fact, it is less.

Who is Shoma?

Go Kostya!

Oops. Oh well, at least I get to see the final group. Any highlights I should search out the videos for later?

Is the commentator Debbie Wilkes? I'm impressed that she is there in person, whoever she is.

 

[karne]

Pre-warning ahead of time:

I don't really want to be doing PBP for Max. I want to hit the full-screen mode and just really enjoy it. So if anyone else is able...?

 

[ice coverage]

Look, Canadian woman commentator - you're not telling me anything technically that I don't already know, and if I need to know the skater's biography, I can look it up. Now go away.

I'm not as smart as you, so Debbi Wilkes -- yes, she is a human being with a name -- is telling me things that I do not know :yes:.

LOL, it's funny that a skating know-it-all like you was unfamiliar with her until this year's Nebelhorn streaming.

I'm not as smart as you, but even I know who Shoma is .

Julian Yee was pretty awesome. And Andrew was great too :yes:

I watch men in competition literally maybe 3 times a year and I know who he is too...

So glad to find out who she is because I'm very much enjoying her. Loved the "horse race" comment!

Me too! Never heard a commentator say that before lol.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Who is Shoma?

A skater who is not at this competition, oops.

Yes. This "Canadian woman commentator" is a former Olympic Pairs Silver Medalist, as well as a coach, a skating analyst, and an officer of Skate Canada.

 

[Sackie]

And if some could not even tell where she is from that must mean she is not playing favorites like some of the other commentators do. In fact I find her comments bang on.
