Wait, who said it's "Aye-moz?"I just discovered that Kevin's last name is pronounced, 'Aye-moz,' not 'Ay-moz,' as in 'hay.' Or was the announcer at SA wrong?

Nordeback has recently come up from juniors. He started out extremely well, but ran into problems he was unable to overcome. That does not mean he doesn't have huge talent or that he can't put everything altogether. He has skated well in juniors. But yeah, guess what? Figure skating is an extremely difficult sport to master. Obviously, it's not news I'm imparting in that prior sentence, for sure.The Europeans have too high world standing due to numerous events held in Europe. Is the Swede kid really final flight calibre at GP events?
The announcer! Even at practices!? And then they said for the skaters to speak to the announcer after practice if their name pronunciations were wrong. LOL. I'm willing to bet that both Aymoz and Nagy blew off telling them anything about how to correctly pronounce their names. Like, if you don't know by now, okay.Wait, who said it's "Aye-moz?"
Someone must have corrected the announcer for Vasiljevs, because the announcer was fairly okay during the broadcast, but Deniss' last name had been butchered in practices. Deniss did a double take, and made a funny face when it happened in the practice yesterday.The announcer! Even at practices!?

Who were the announcers on E?I am so thrilled for Ilia! He was magnificent. Watched it on E! and I liked the commentary. You can see he connects with the crowd more, has improved his artistry, as others have said and seems like he's having fun.
Good luck to him in the free skate.
Congrats to Kevin and Shun as well for their SP.
Tara Lipinski, Johnny Weir and Terry.Who were the announcers on E?
Just my two cents….

Stephen - Not a bad skate from him. Lovely 4T 3T. Had he nailed the 3A, he would have been in the final group. I’m hoping he holds on to a top 8 placement. But, it will be tough.
Okay, same as the extra Peacock stream then. My Peacock stream was wonky throughout, which was annoying. Hopefully, the replays will be better.Tara Lipinski, Johnny Weir and Terry something.
Eh, Nordeback is seen as a newbie by judges, and he IS new to seniors, so when he makes mistakes, he will pay heavily. Plus for sure, he can work on SS and polish. But I enjoy his quirky takes and his unique music choices. I loved his Johnny Cash program in juniors.I find it he had lowest GOE mark of the ones who landed 4T 3T
and also skating skills , maybe intentionally undermarked by 5 points.. .

LOL! Indeed! "Kevin sold it like the rent was due." And he paid it in full too.Just going to say what everyone else said: Ilia really has put work into his choreo. Even more importantly, he looks like he might actually be enjoying himself, rather than how fast can I get this done so I can do a really cool jump?
Well done.
Overall, over the moon for Kévin, though. I didn't like this SP for him before, but he sold it like the rent was due. And if Kévin knows how to do anything, it's sell a program.
Yes, I think Shae Lynn Bourne is a genius in working with skaters to bring out their special qualities. That's in addition to simply being a genius choreographer.And looks like [Ilia] really enjoys this program too and was having fun on ice.
I will take Tiger Print over
"I'm so cool and manly I forgot to buy a costume and picked this up at Target"
I was explaining “cactus” to the nice lady who sat next to me and said “see, Andrew is demonstrating“
Completely earnestly, I wish jumps didn’t matter because Torgashev has everything else I care about, personally.
I didn’t have a margarita but I did ask the waitress for a drink for someone who was having a bad day.I love a clapping audience!!!! They must have had a lot of margaritas during the break!
Keep cheering and maybe we'll see some of those quads be great!
What?Why cheerknithanson, we are gonna make a romantic out of you yet!!!!
It was a terrible version I must agree.That has to be the worst version of Sound of Silence I have heard. Muted. (I'm not fond of the song anyway, even the other version skaters seem to use so much)
Good attack, Gogo. So many years later, I still can't get over your growth spurt.
He should not have cut the hair then.Deniss is going for Sexy™ this season, his FS costume is also impressively chest-showy-offy
