Here comes Alaine...and my first toss gift

 

[Ares]

TAT "complaining" about swarovski, saying the russian and american crystals look different.

I'm watching Russian stream but I don't understand anything. Polish & Russian are both Slavic languages but not comprehensible at all

 

[Watermelondrea]

Come onnnn Alaine just like CN!!

 

[Chemistry66]

It looks like Elene is in New Jersey. Coaching? She has swishy pants on while skating on her Instagram pics :think:

She's trained in Hackensack before. Coaching switch?

 

[sweetskates1]

I have to say that I do not know any of the girls in this warm up group well at all.

 

[whatif]

Whaaaaaaat

She thinks American ones shine brighter. K-O-N-S-P-I-R-A-C-Y!

 

[sweetskates1]

Do you have a preference between them?

I'm nervous for Alaine. I'm never nervous for Gabby. Weird.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Right but they can't very well have skaters just randomly deciding to throw costume parts into the audience just because they feel like it either.... though in some instances it might be fun

I think they throw them into the audience so they wouldn't be on the ice. I thought Wang's tie flew off on its own. If a skater throws a piece away, they must have felt the imminent departure of the piece, or it's annoying the skater. I remember Kurt threw his wrist band away in frustration at the Olympics.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

What a weak high five and hand shake :hopelessness:


Can't watch:gaah:

 

[Crossover]

I'm nervous for Alaine. I'm never nervous for Gabby. Weird.

Because Gabby is a stronger FS skater than Alaine?

 

[ice coverage]

Doesn't start for 3 hours on NBC on West coast. I would guess it starts probably on NBC in one hour in other time zones.

FWIW, it starts in four hours in San Francisco. (9 pm PT.)

Max is doing commentary for IN? How cool .

Go, Maxxxx :yay:.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Go Alaine!!

 

[moriel]

How so? Where do the Russians get their crystals?

No clue, she just said the american ones are shinier =D But she didnt shop for them recently so she isnt sure.

 

[brightphoton]

It's the cleanest of all the "shady" streams. There are no pop-ups or any ads to close.

thank you!! otherwise I would go stir crazy from the wait.

 

[andromache]

I think GWTW is bad skating music because it's too repetitive and doesn't have enough highs and lows...but Alaine's program is so much better choreographed than Polina's.

 

[Vili67]

Nice go with the wind music

 

[ancientpeas]

No. I like both about the same. I find Alaine more pleasing to watch but Gabby is a powerhouse.

 

[twirlingblades]

And it's almoast 03 here so after two groups i think i i go sleep and watch rest in morning

That's probably the best. Sleep is your friend! I'm thankful I live in the same time zone as Boston!

 

[Chemistry66]

So, So Youn has moved up 3 places at least. If she doesn't move up any further, Da Bin will have to move up at least 4 places to 12th overall, to maintain 2 spots for South Korea.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Is it just me or does Alaine's hair color look... odd under these lights?
