[CellarDweller]

I hope the sage I posted in the pairs short program thread has done away with the skating monsters.

Yes thank you for posting it. *mutters stuff about Gracie in a desperate plea to the skating Gods*

None of the streams are working.

 

[ice coverage]

How was starting order determined? Random draw?

AFAIK:

The draw is not completely random.
Top five from 2020 Nats (who therefore had byes to 2021 Nats) are guaranteed to be in the final two groups.​

(Because you asked over here, I am repeating my reply to someone else in the practice thread.)

Go, Audrey and Amber!

 

[moonvine]

oh no

I feel your pain. The NBCSN streams will only start in 30 minutes, and the QQ stream is offline
Here's a link to the live results, if that helps

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Sinister! I approve.

 

[CellarDweller]

I finally gave up trying to watch on my computer.



The feed kept sputtering and skipping. It was annoying as hell.

I finally opened Peacock on my phone and I'm watching on the screen there while I type here.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Violeta fell on her first jumping pass but got the others done.

Thank you, ice coverage. I didn't think they were completely random because more of the top skaters are toward the later part of the event, but, for example, Mariah is fairly early.

Those gloves are so elegant in the K/C

 

[moonvine]

I like the sparkly jumpsuit and gloves

 

[CellarDweller]

Yeah, I though the jumpsuit 'suited' her.

 

[Weathergal]

Sinister! I approve.

I do, too, but wish they'd give her more sinister moves in the choreography. There seemed to just be a few perfunctory ones.

 

[CellarDweller]

Oooh, you could see that one coming.

 

[moonvine]

Heidi Munger falls first jump

 

[CellarDweller]

We're only the second skater in, and we need more!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Heidi Munger- down on the 3lz, 3f-2t landed, 2a landed. Nice expression, white-grey glittery dress. Bit of an issue on a twizzle in step sequence. Oh dear, spin levels.

 

[Seven Sisters]

I’m not familiar with any of the ladies in this group, except Audrey Shin. Does anyone here have enlightening background info to share?

 

[Jeanie19]

Heidi. She is a beautiful skater with good spins. Love her dress.
