[Merjan]

Yay new PB for CessiVille, from 49+ to 53+

Yes they are really nice, stretching behind me. I told them I came all the way from Helsinki to watch this event.

Wonderful!!!

I see they've removed the video. Hopefully it'll be back up later.

That is so great for Cecelia & Jussiville

But I wish you guys would not coin names for skaters that are very confusing and not complimentary in English.

Cess. Ville.

:hopelessness:

I do have to admit it took me over a minute to figure out who was being talked about.

 

[Snow63]

No deduction for Nazarova/Nikitin! Yay! What part did they change: waltz or polka?

Oh dear I'm so sorry - I wasn't thinking! It's prononunced very differently from either cess or ville though; it's more like "Cess-see VEE-lay"

I can't take credit for the name though, I've seen it used by Finnish fans so that's where I got it

Only one team made the tech minimum for worlds. And I think they already have the score previously. I'm wondering if they are going to need to lower minimum as it seems very hard to achieve this year

It is harder because the point values for the partial step sequences have been lowered. I don't know if they're going to lower it though... a lot of teams either do still have it from last year or have actually achieved it this year.

Anyone watching FD?

 

[blue_idealist]

I am, but not that closely, I'll watch more closely when the last group is on (plus Alessandrini/Souquet since I like their FD).

 

[TMC]

Anyone watching FD?

I'm here for now, but taking a break soon to watch last night's Survivor, then back for the last group. Couldn't miss this Estonian team though, I like them

 

[karne]

Got it on in the background while I putter around.

Hey karne! Big Aussie skating fan here. When are Australian Nationals?

Starts next weekend - 28th! Big week including Synchro, Adult, and all levels from Primary to Senior. Glad to meet another Aussie skating fan (or fan of Aussie skating, I don't mind which! ) Junior and Senior events on 3rd and 4th, except pairs, which is earlier in the week because practically no pairs.

The silent k'n'c sucks for another reason - I keep having to look to see if the stream froze

Huge fan karne!!!! Are you familiar with coach Paul Huenergard? He was my coach here on the east coast of Canada during my Novice and Junior years. Great coach! Firm coach! And he had the knack to add so many different and interesting ideas to make us all better skaters.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Mr Huenergard! I'm glad you had a good experience with him though


EDIT: Is the free dance over? I went for a shower, and now the rink seems to be empty. My stream is still running?

 

[blue_idealist]

The FD isn't over, they're resurfacing the ice.

 

[peese]

Last group still left. Pairs LP after the Free Dance.
