What the heck's going on with the Chinese stream? It looked like an old VHS there for a second

Ruben's outfit is the worst? I can't bare to look at it. Oops the stream froze momentarily as I typed that! I don't really mean it, universe! I will look at it, it's just ugly. Shirt don't fit him -- and those strange blocks of color.

 

[Harriet]

Ah, not their day. But they gave it their best shot.

I felt very nostalgic

Have Hocke and Blommaert been injured lately? They don't have the same confidence and security this season. I know he was injured early in the year.

I was wondering the same...

The Italian team should've used Wagner or something to complete the cycle

 

[CoyoteChris]

System wide problem I think

Hocke/Blommaert (GER)

Tech: A little heavy on 3Twist landing but still done well, heavy fall for Hocke on sbs 3T, double-footed on throw 3Lo, spread eagle entry on lift (careful on exit and change of position), a bit slow on the sbs spins and a little out of sync near end, some good shapes in the footwork but not a lot of timing, alright death spiral

Pres: It's hard to live up to something like Malaguena, this needed a lot more attack and crispness, though Hocke was giving more energy than Blommaert in the expression and the shapes, shame on the fall on the 3Ts

Score: TES 27.94, PCS 26.22, -1 Deduction, Total 53.16 (currently 6th)

Go Miriam go!!!!!!!

 

[Colonel Green]

C'mon, Miriam and Severin, make Jean-Francois proud!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I felt very nostalgic

The music was already giving me flashbacks to Sasha Cohen, I swear I saw her yellow dress in the VHS static

 

[s_parks]

Oof their levels. twist and ds both B?

 

[GGFan]

That's a beautiful program for Z/F. Love the way it starts. She has a great back. Definitely a step up in skating quality

 

[Harriet]

Nice work from the Austrians - I love their flow over the ice.

 

[kevinVchicago]

I'm not crying u r.
Good job guys [emoji22]
Beautiful program.

 

[Ichatdelune]

They looked quite tentative to my eyes, shame about those levels...

 

[Colonel Green]

Jeez, look at how high their TES is despite two level Bs.

 

[Lota]

Miriam and Severin's experience and hard work really shows, the flow was so good!

I couldn't find a link that works on the other thread. Does anyone have one that is friendly for those in north (but not super north) america?
