O...M...G.

Stephane's mask...

This is the greatest thing ever!

 

[Seven Sisters]

Deniss is fixing his hair

That’s expected with such a high maintenance ‘do

 

[TontoK]

I'm mildly bothered by Mark's shirt with the thorns.

I get the musical reference, but it's a little on the nose.

I’ve never heard PJ Kwong announce skaters so quickly, like she’s giving orders. Has she been told to go fast?

They have a schedule to adhere to I guess. So far so good, no technical difficulties or delays.

 

[CellarDweller]

Ok Vlad......let's see what'cha got.

All the empty seats are giving me the sadz. I'm sure they'll begin to fill up later but COVID has taken such a toll in so many ways. And dangit, these guys have trained their whole lives training for these 4 minutes and they deserve a real audience.

Alright it begins for Group 2.

Go Vladimir!

Also Barbara F-P in the audience, awesome.

 

[lariko]

Hurray, Litvintzev! One of my favs

 

[Amei]

I love Vladimir's music

THE JOKER SOUNDTRACK LETS GO

 

[moonvine]

Or, you can pay for a Eurosport subscription. The Swedish commentators are excellent!

Will they let an American pay for one?

 

[Makkachin]

This music took a spooky turn I didn't expect

Edit: Oh it's the joker, ok got it now

 

[moonvine]

Shoot, poor Donovan had a rough night with not enough green boxes. There's so much to like in his skating, though: I love his fluidity and long, balletic-looking lines...and he just oozes charm.

And OMG, the Ina Bauer!!!

And I've gotten to see him live twice! Including first ever International medal for a Mexican skater (that we know of). Hey guys I will cheer and clap for all of you if you come to Cranberry Cup!

 

[Amei]

I'm slightly bothered that his pants and vest don't appear to be the same red. Okay, I wasn't expecting this music change

How is he landing these jumps???

Gravity took a holiday.

Belinda mentioning lack of transitions, ha ha I never notice.

 

[Princessroja]

How is he landing these jumps???

I have no idea but I admit I'm impressed. He's sideways in the air!
