2017 Four Continents Pairs FS

[4everchan]

With ISU channel I don't have to put up with commercials at the beginning of CBC stream.

eta. The live streaming has started.

I just logged on the CBC... no commercials i know what you mean... usually there are 2 ads... and sometimes it takes a minute to get on,but this event, nothing.

 

[NanaPat]

I pulled up both streams on different tabs, and they actually have different cameras/views. The ISU / Eurovision seems sharper, so I'm going with it.

 

[NanaPat]

Usually (and today) I get one 30-second ad at the beginning of the CBC. I can live with that, but if the stream freezes and I have to refresh, I
get another one, sometimes in the middle of a program.

Another day with empty rinks...poor skaters

The crowds have been abysmal.

 

[4everchan]

Got my drink and snacks at the ready with my CBC stream.

tonight is the worse for me... I work tomorrow morning.... so I am not sure what I can do... but I passed out from 9pm to 11pm.... should i drink? should i eat? should i take a nap after the pairs ? should i skip the ladies and just watch the last group?

LIFE IS SO TOUGH

Just to give you an example on how 4CC has ruined my life this week, I opted against getting a haircut which is much needed because I wanted to make sure I would be able to sleep in the afternoon today and tomorrow if ever needed...

Another day with empty rinks...poor skaters

Did you see the size of the audience for the Gala in North Korea a few days ago?

Somebody was saying in one of the competition threads earlier in the week that if this competition was in the North, it would be packed out. Well, that Gala wasn't. One side of the rink was packed, but the other side was completely empty.

If you go to the Gala's own thread, I have posted a link to a video of clips:

So, not quite the packed house we were expecting.

I'm so excited and neveous. Go Sui/Han! Go Y/Z and P/J! Go everybody and have a clean competition!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Here and streaming, but will have to race out just after the Australians due to a previous commitment.

Will you be back for the ladies?

LAND YOUR JUMPS LUBOV

NO ABORTED LIFTS OR CRASHY TWISTS

I'm trying to be quiet until everyone is asleep here.

But yes. No crashy twists would be nice. No aborted lifts.

Lubov and Peng land your jumps already!

A non sam smith version of the writing on the wall? Interesting. I didn't even think that song had been around long enough to be covered.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

What is up with all these weird falls? This is, like, the third fall on a transition I've seen this competition- and that's not even counting ice dance.

Good choice not to use the Sam Smith version- I almost like this song without him

 

[Arriba627]

Love the one fan they showed (on Ice Network) who had a headband with two small Korean flags standing up! How fun!

Here's the Taiwan youtube stream, for those still looking for a way to watch. I'm not sure how geo-blocked the video is.
