Thread for the Gala

After the very early starts the past couple of days, I need to catch up on my sleep. Plus, I haven’t seen the Senior Free Dance or Pairs FS yet.

Here is the link for the ISU livestream on the Eurovision Sports website:

I’m guessing Alina won’t be skating?

 

[Jeanie19]

Is there another stream?

I get why you asking ... but as an info, I think she is skating since she is doing 3-3-3 at gala practice...

 

[oly2018]

Is there another stream?

Yeah, I have NBC Sports Gold and I don't see the gala as an upcoming event

Does anyone have a link? It should've started, right?

I'm always interested in who gets invited to skate at the Gala. I believe it's the senior medalists and the junior winners who get automatic invites, so the ones they added on top of that are:

Men
- Camden Pulkinen (5th Jr men)
- Michal Brezina (4th men)
- Keegan Messing (5th men)
- Sergei Voronov (6th men)
- Elladj Balde

Dance
- Lajoie/Lagha (4th Jr dance)
- Hawayek/Baker (6th dance)

Ladies
- Yelim Kim (6th Jr ladies)
- Kaori Sakamoto (4th ladies)
- Satoko Miyahara (6th ladies)

Pairs
- Della Monica/Guarise (5th pairs)

Notes: The entire men's field is performing, plus Elladj. They added one junior in everything but pairs. Sofia Samodurova is the only senior lady not performing. Looks like all the juniors have ex programs except for Alena, who is using her SP from last season. I know that both Petr and Koshiro said in the press conference that they didn't have ex programs. Stephen's was choreographed by Marie-France and Sam at Gadbois.

Lol! This is the perfect song for Stephan!

No it’s being a sore loser, plain and simple.

I get that you don't like Zagitova, you've made that loud and clear from numerous posts. But really, stop taking digs at her. I doubt she herself told Ted Barton to say that. How Eteri's team manages publicity though, may be a different story. I say "MAY BE" because we don't really know what happened. Insinuating that someone is not really injured but just being a sore loser is just :noshake:

 

[SnowWhite]

Stephen's very black and white this season.

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Oh can you please stop with hate comments, at least here. This is a Gala thread

 

[s_parks]

H/B's ex is perfection.

If she's doing 3-3-3 at gala practice as reported not even 24 hours after the announcement, you can understand why people are suspicious.

Is there a way to watch this in the US?? Everything is geo-blocked

 

[SnowWhite]

I'm watching the gala while also listening to a film noir documentary and it's a weird mix.

No, I can't. Because I believe the athlete, and I believe Ted Barton who saw it and reported it first.
