2016 Team Challenge Cup - Day 1

I was really hoping for a good skate from Nam, considering his problems this season, but I guess those problems just continued. Was it ever confirmed that he's changed coaches?

Except this wasn't strategy right?
the captains didn't know anything about the other choices and when they put up their placards it was random as to who they were skating against.
At least I think that's right!

Yes, there was very little strategy as the matchups were just a result of random placards However, the matchups ended up pretty well I think!

Then it's good luck I suppose. Gabby won 12 points for NA with score lower than all three Ladies' in Group 1. Another good match up for NA.

Not a huge fan of Jason's costume. Does anyone know what he's skating to?

A question for livestream watchers: After the skaters skate, do they join their team in the team box to watch the rest of the competitors?

No -- at least for me, there is a reason why I prefer to leave a trace, although I know how I could make the post disappear entirely, if I wanted to.

(Not worth explaining the reason, however, if it is not already obvious.)

"Appassionata" by Secret Garden. Not
A fan of the costume either, but at least it isn't Sergei Voronov's awful tattoo sleeves...

Also, Elizabet and Elena are accidentally wearing the same color. On Fridays, we wear peach

Let them skate.
