2021 Cranberry Cup International

Lol, are they identical twins? Looking forward to watch them soon :)

Pretty sure that the Fitterers are not twins, although the resemblance is strong.

An endearing memory that I have from Mid Atlantics is the one who I perceived to be slightly younger (based on smaller size) being supportive in a brotherly way of the one who I perceived to be older, after the older one had a not-super-successful skate.
At Mid Atlantics, they sometimes have skated in different levels/categories, IIRC?

Go, Fitterers!

Yes, same here. It’s annoying but since the stream is free, there’s not much to do about it. Maybe it’ll be better on the replay when there are fewer people watching.
There is replay? There were 180 people watching max during Jr Ladies free. The problem is on site. Some times the beautiful music the skaters used would keep on and the vid would freeze.....sometimes both. If the rink has good internet conductivity, and throughput, then even Vimeo and the Judges computers wouldnt clog a good connection. It could be lots of things. Too many other fans streaming and the whole facility using too much band width is a possibility, but my money is on their equipment. Either way, an IT person worth a bit of salt could trouble shoot this in two shakes of a lamb's tail....very frustrating. And not the first time we have seen this kind of thing. Grrrrrrrrr........
IT person from the last century.
 
I waved my Israeli flag extra hard at Nikita and I think he waved at me. Or it was someone in my general direction but I like to think it was me.

Many thanks, moonvine!
I got teary 😭 watching the stream when I saw you waving your flag of Israel 🇮🇱 for Nikita. (And a very large flag, no less.)
Surely it was you at whom he was waving.

Although Cranberry will not count for ISU PBs, Nikita's Cranberry scores do exceed his ISU PBs.
Very glad that he had a chance to compete here.



(Just noticed that Ken Fitterer withdrew from FS. :()

Ooops, thanks to @snowflake for making note much earlier than me. Sorry that I originally had missed your post.​

Yes, there is a replay of the entire day for each rink on the same Vimeo page as the livestream. Since it’s not broken down by individual events, you have to fast forward through it to locate the event you want to see. I missed the Junior ladies SP yesterday and was able to watch it on the West Rink archive video last night.

As for the livestream quality, yes, it’s frustrating but I keep reminding myself that it’s free and am grateful for what I am able to watch. It’s better than watching YouTube videos after the event is over, right?
 
Somebody knows if the Men's Short & Ladies Short will take place AT THE SAME TIME? looking at the schedule I am a bit confused about it
 
If y'all are still around this evening, I'll be working as an ice monitor in the West Rink! I wanted to catch at least a little of the junior competition, but I've been really busy these past few days. Will definitely be there all of tomorrow and Sunday though!

That’s a little frustrating but understandable. Really hope they figure that out by tomorrow when seniors compete. You might be right; perhaps there will be no lags during the replay.
 
Well. It is freezing inside. I came outside and it is 108 in my car. I’m having to drag around a heavy laptop bag (too hot to leave in car), my clear arena bag, a dozen roses and on the way back in some stuffies. For passing out! Not throwing.

What is going on in the West Rink?
