well entertain me because i don't get why a post saying "deleted" is relevant in a thread that goes so fast anyways. Just to add post counts ?

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

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

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?

Yes they sit in the front row w/captain for scores. Then stay to watch

Does Wagner have one of her thighs wrapped in something?

"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

Thanks. I agree with the Sergei's tattoos. I also noticed Elena and Elizabeth wearing the same color!

Jin up. 4Lz 3T clean but too close to the boards. Pushed off with his hand

Stream froze for me

I've never noticed it before, but Boyang jumps with his head tilted up. Has anyone else noticed that? I obviously can't do quads, but even on a 1Lz or 1A that would scare me out of my mind and make it about 80,000 times harder to land. So why does he do that?

Or am I hallucinating?

Clean 3A. 4T scratchy landing

Nothing to do with post counts.

Jason's SP outfit looks good to me....but maybe if the gray part of it was a little darker....

I've noticed that too! Also, his arms seem differently positioned than most. It's probably just the way he was taught.

Do you really expect us to believe that? You're right on the cusp of hitting the landmark 10k posts... clearly you will do anything to get there ASAP.

 

[4everchan]

so why? apparently what seems obvious to you is not obvious to everyone

I've noticed his head positioning as well. It seems like it would be more difficult, but what would I know? I can't quad

Thank you for the link! If only I figured out how to use it on my iPad to see Gabi! Oh well at least I know for tomorrow.

Everyone is so cute in the Kiss & Cry here...it's like WTT on steroids.

In case something develops and you want to go back and add something at a later time?
