2017 GPF Pairs FS

Is the CBC feed soundless for anyone else?

Yes! It was on at first!

 

[jillredhand]

Yes, soundless for me too. And the sound was working on the "Broadcast about to start" screen right before the broadcast started

Perhaps I should not complain... CBC is spoiling Canadians by streaming everything live and w/o commentary... one tech hiccup is not a crime. But I can't stand the chatty cathy commentator on the FSLive YT channel!!

Russian Eurosport is working fine! :thumbsup:

Heads over!

Any sign of Yuliatube I wonder....

 

[Anyasnake]

Dear god, why am I here and not asleep in my comfy, comfy bed?

All these events in Asia are preparing us poor North Americans for the lack of sleep we’ll be getting for two weeks come February.

Actually you'll be fine in February, events will be in the morning in Korea so that North America will have the events during the evening, live.
OTOH, I live in Western Europe... I'll be awake from 2am to 5 am for almost 2 weeks. I'm not ready for this

 

[Merjan]

On my way to Tampere, by train. Go Aljona and Bruno.

It's ridiculous. To have the skating events at 10 am and practices at 6:30 am at Olympics because of a broadcaster.... ridiculous.

I slept through both junior events this morning, grumble.
But waking up to Star Wars is I'm wide awake now! Only four more nights to sleep until new movie, wooooooo!

Dang. That’ll be weird for the skaters, no? To compete that early in the AM?

Uhoh that bodes bad for me in Australia because I usually work in the mornings! I'll have to record it!

Practice at 6.30 am will be very weird for them... I think the majority of them is already changing their usual sleep schedule to adapt.

 

[gravy]

I love these humongous throw triples instead of the clunky quads we sometimes see.

 

[WeakAnkles]

The youtube link is FINALLY working. Grrr.

 

[cathlen]

Very good skate! Well, apart from combo, but really, really good.

 

[Winnie_20]

LOLz, Duel of the Fates reminds of the SW concerts I went to last weekend. The conductor wanted the audience to sing along with the Coraaaaa lyrics. It didn't really go as planned, but fun trying, nevertheless.

 

[bobbob]

Very good, not as perfect as Skate America but strong energy. TES doesn't seem that high though

 

[Anni234]

Every time see Y/Z I am still so surprised that I actually started to adore this pair, I did not expect to. But they work really well together.

 

[NoNameFace]

lovely program from Fairy Yu and Zhang!!!, I just adore her delicate yet prominent finishing of movement, extension on lifts, easiness in transitioning...love the program for them in general - choreography is so spot on musical accents!

 

[matmuh]

shaky on sbs but well done!! havent noticed this before but i love the placement of sbs spin with the music :luv17:

 

[draqq]

Yu / Zhang

Very good technically. Only real bobble was the 1T in the combo which Yu struggled on. I like that they are getting better timing on the crescendos of the Star Wars music, and are paying more attention to the musical phrasing. They can still work on relating to the music, though, with better facial expression and a better connection between them. I mean, you're skating to Star Wars!, you can show some excitement and even some romance.

Hahaha BESP commentator about Zhang "well, you wouldn't want to get into an argument with him"
