[SarahSynchro]

I've returned to the Canadian forum, I was over in the American forum celebrating the Shib Sibs win in ice dance.

The Leonardo Dicaprio voiceover in this program is giving me flashbacks to Elena Radionova's Titanic FP.

I am back in time. Finally I have the chance to watch a competition!! Go Patrick!

 

[SarahSynchro]

Yes.

Great! Thank you.

I can pick up CTV on my OTA antenna, woohoo! I'll be able to see the final group live.

lets go Elladj! Redemption from yesterday!

 

[silverfoxes]

That was pretty good for him, definitely the best I've seen him skate. Wow, already there are more guys at least attempting quads & 3As than the US men...sigh

 

[Kuan]

I am happy to see Roman smile I was heartbroken for him at JGPF.
But that boy always looks kind of sick or unheathy. Hope he is ok. His tired eyes make me worry a bit.

I wonder if it's just bad nerves. He always kind of had that deer in the headlights, gonna-be-sick look...but at least he seems to be smiling more than last season.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Oh dear Elladj. He couldn't even squeak a single out of the opening combo.

It's so frustrating watching Elladj, he has all the goods to be on the podium, but he can never seem to put it all together when it counts. It's crazy how he's never won a national medal. So frustrating.

 

[cheerknithanson]

I am SO scared now.

And every year I fall for it and rank him up near or on the podium, lol.

 

[Crossover]

Is it still a zamboni time? Is the stream working? I only saw the 2nd half of Elladj's program on Dailymotion.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Same! Every year I think it's time for him to FINALLY break through, and then nope, bombs again at nationals.

He might not even make the national team this year.

What did they do the switch to pairs???
