Report from men’s practice:

Donovan’s SP is Santana only at the start, then switches; charming as ever
Bychenko’s SP music is a terrific version of the Hall of the Mountain King, looks like a fantastic program, can’t wait to see it! Bychenko, who knew!
Vincent’s jumps look fabulous (one seemed a bit under.) very strong!
Next group now taking the ice. PS there looks like plenty of parking, and they are well organized—don’t let that deter you from coming

+10 for choice of music, I can´t wait to see this program!! I can easily picture uncle Bychenko in this program, it will be great.
Damn... it almost makes me reconsider staying up late after all

Ah, so nice to be setting an alarm on my phone to remind me that there's a skating competition on.

The season has truly begun for me!

 

[Pereiro]

Guys, is there stream of competition?

 

[Seven Sisters]

Tomoki’s music, some sort of blues with male vocal I can’t identify, but I approve
Camden—“Come What May.” Why, Camden why? Your skating is so beautiful, so fluid, every movement so lovely—WHY do you inflict this music choice on us??!!
Jimmy Ma, in man-bun (points off for that) a spare, slow (but actually quite nice) piano take on Swan Lake. It’s strange to see him playing it straight (though he has some flapping arms towards the end). He has clearly been working on his opening jump, which he nailed, to strong spontaneous applause from the (sparse).crowd

I guess I shouldn´t complain about my 6 hours of time difference?

 

[Hyena]

Can't wait to watch today! Thanks for the in-person reports from all of you who are able to be there. Looking forward to the Nebelhorn conversation afterward.

 

[Seven Sisters]

To anyone planning to come:

no in and out privileges for parking (unless you are a competitor, and when I volunteered that I am not, I was complimented for my honesty—in retrospect, I decided that I should have said I was Aljona Savchenko (those who have met me will get a big chuckle out of this.) no place within walking distance to get food, so while you are here, there is only club food—okay, but not all that impressive.

Absolutely beautiful facility, though!

And for pairs fans—just you wait til you see Tarasova/Morosov’s SP death spiral. Absolutely exquisite, unique entry and exit. Seeing them close up practicing a foot or two away from you is an experience difficult to describe in words. Eteri is here with them, btw.
That man can jump, too. I got a very close up view. (Lady B, I hope you are reading this!)

Haha, yes it's tempting... so many great pairs and men in the middle of the night

Thanks @Seven Sisters for practice reports!

 

[Seven Sisters]

For those waiting to hear about Yaro, he mostly marked his jobs, underachieved on what he did try, so really nothing to report.
Winner of practice: clearly Vincent

What time will it be in the UK if I want to watch it. Anyone know. Thankyou.

 

[Seven Sisters]

I know we have many ladies fans here, so I’ll try my best to describe their practice last night, though ladies are not really my thing. None of the top ladies had a really scintillating practice, lots of falls. Mariah’s SP, IMHO an epic fail—disjointed mess of unappetizing music cuts, and worst of all, program doesn’t suit her at all. Comparable to last year’s ABBA program. Apologies to her fans. Actually, it’s her choreographer who should be apologizing to you

OK thankyou.

As Snowflake said, UK is 5 hours ahead of Boston. I can recommend using this time converter. Ladies SP will start 17.45 London-time

About to head down, see y’all soon! I’m wearing my gold and green jacket and big earrings again. Will also have an extra blanket if anyone needs it!

Oh brilliant thankyou both of you. A decent time yay.

No problem, the time converter has saved me from a lot of headache. Decent time for the ladies SP, not so decent for pairs and mens SP
