2023 JGP Istanbul Women's Short Program

[CaroLiza_fan]

Mark, you're British. The word "hockey" to us means field hockey. So, are you talking about that, or are you talking to the international audience where "hockey" means ice hockey?

And I'm sure having a volcano nearby didn't help. (Actually, does it have an influence on temperatures? Or is it just one of those many assumptions I have that is completely wrong?)

the Volcano has nothing to do, the heatwave comes from Africa Etna usually bothers you when you have to clean up her ashes

We have just today entered a heatwave in NI. But, a heatwave here is defined as 3 days where temperatures are over 25°C. So, I'm sure you would find that perfectly mild in comparison to what you have been dealing with.

25° it's my ideal temperature not too hot, not too cold.

Hope you managed alright last week with the long drive to the wedding. And I hope you had somwehre to stay, and didn't have to actually travel in your costume. Because I dread to imagine what state it would have been in if you did!

i traveled in my hairdo done of course we booked a room in advance knowing that we couldn't possibly drive back in the middle of the night after a tiring day and a couple of glasses of wine. we actually stayed there till monday

Nice hair!

Hmm interesting about the Micc'ed up Series. I'm wondering what coaches would be most likely to swear and have to be bleeped out
Although just imagine Barbara F-P! Can stares be micc'ed up

 

[lariko]

Okay, that didn't start with a bang...

 

[Green Carrots]

Meda's dress is stunning

 

[icewhite]

shame the combo was a miss

 

[Jeanie19]

Meda. Elegant black dress. So sad about the combo, but she stayed committed to her program, beautiful lutz.

 

[lariko]

living on the Mediterranean sea i can tell you we're used to these kind of temperatures. in the last few years 29 isn't even that hot, not after you face weeks at more than 38°

Well, that's deadly. But were I in Istanbul, that's where I would be

the Volvano has nothing to do, the heatwave comes from Africa Etna usually bothers you when you have to clean up her ashes

That's good to know.

But I'm confused. You are calling Etna "her". I thought it was boys that always needed to be cleaned up after!

25° it's my ideal temperature not too hot, not too cold.

When you're not used to it, it is hot enough! The computer is next to an open window, so I'm grateful for the breeze.

See, I knew that deep down you were a sensible girl!

Hope you had a great weekend.

lol, I wouldn't be able to get her name right, either

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Ah yes, my favourite skater, Polina Djsuefsadshovejrefa

 

[lariko]

Oh, I was looking forward to Ted vs Polina's last name! I wasn't disappointed!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Green dress for the win!

Or is it blue? Might be blue actually...

Still not sure about Hungarian skating after Vivian Papp's experience though

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Oh, I was looking forward to Ted vs Polina's last name! I wasn't disappointed!

To be honest, I think her name would pose issues for most people

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Is it just me, or is the music Meda used the piece that last year we were saying was Carmen in disguise?

Beautiful dress once we got to see it without fog.

Not the best of skates, though.

[Green Carrots]

I love this program for Polina. Hopefully she's getting more consistency throughout the new season

 

[elektra blue]

strong skate!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Ah yes, my favourite skater, Polina Djsuefsadshovejrefa

Oh, I was looking forward to Ted vs Polina's last name! I wasn't disappointed!

LOL in Ted's defence I wouldn't even TRY with that one. I'd just be like Polina D.

Or maybe if I was Ted I get recordings of all the skaters names and just play it into the microphone

 

[lariko]

lol, I wouldn't be able to get her name right, either

I actually broke it up in syllables to get it right, like with Asian names, just to tease my mom during JWC.

Super-skate! Good job, Rozanov!
