Somehow, i suspect that, to save money on operator, they just got a cat, and now the camera is controlled by the cat chasing moving things (skaters) on a screen
 
Nice home crowd, audience, music, and she's 1st.

Aww... Caroline is doing the Mission.. she might lead after this. Kwan like spiral at the crescendo...

Zhang looked a little without energy... That step sequence was slow and not very emotional as the music suggests it should be.
Also is that Peter Opergard? (sorry, don't know how to properly write his name)
 
I get a bit sentimental about Caroline, she has been around since Mirai's Junior days right? Keep going every year for as long as they have, that is love and dedication for the sport baby... remember those old clips of them from junior days, both families used to babysit each other in turns.

Oppegard! :palmf:

I used to call him Obbaguard :D
 
Chat on the stream is even more gross than the JGP ones.

Hey Dabin's costume (apart from sleeve), kind of remind me of Mao's Rach 2... interesting.

It is a very solemn but elegant program... wonder what is the thought behind it.
 
I can't say that I enjoyed Dabin Choi's program and her performance was quite reserved and unemotional. But she was solid - the best so far.
 
Choi's skate was relatively content free in terms of choreography, with a distressing habit of putting almost every element in a corner. She doesn't really seem to know what to do with her arms. So yes, jump wise it was solid, but otherwise I found it all rather forgettable.
