I think they are either stalling or trying to warm of the crowd.

Before the stream was up the site said that the world arena still had an event going on so that might be part of the reason.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

yup, resurfacing now

 

[karne]

Okay, so that was cool, the stream loaded in time for me to see Brooklee tearing it up. Is this the program she had for the Peggy Fleming Trophy that she wasn't allowed to compete?

 

[jillredhand]

Yeah, we just got Brooklee Han's La La Land performance. New SP? She had some very nice spirals in there, but the jumps weren't competition ready yet.

Yes.

And I loved Brooklee's performance. So joyful.

Jumps were not the point of the program at all. (Yes, too bad about her fall.)

It was the program that Brooklee (as a non-U.S. skater, not eligible for Peggy Fleming Trophy) would have skated for Peggy Fleming Trophy -- which required only double jumps.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

oh come on, let's get this thing started

 

[decjimmy]

I am ready.

"We're starting at 12:15"

 

[Spirals for Miles]

do we really need to have such a long intro for each celebrity judge?

 

[karne]

Judges are being introduced but no camera movement so we wuzrobbed of seeing Josh.

 

[karne]

No Josh and Vincent?

 

[decjimmy]

They said something about ladies judges so maybe they will show up for the mens.....

 

[Spirals for Miles]

yes my girls Alysa and Ting are together in the first warm-up

I think Josh and Vincent are judging only the men? Look at the photo of the updated men's starting order.

But yes, I wish the camera had panned over to the judges.

I like the intros. YMMV.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

what is going on with this way too loud background music?

Ah, I see. Makes sense. She performed it well, she's a joy to watch.

I didn't hear introductions at all for Josh and Vincent. Heck, Vincent just competed at the last Olympics, for crying out loud.
