I was referring to @CellarDweller 's age ...

Canadians BM/BM were great in many respects. Loved them.

Vampires! Oh no that’s the long.

I think of the short as pre-vampire because of the breathing sounds

 

[Sabine]

They've been to Lombardia IIRC

And they've been to Germany for Nebelhorn trophy. I guess last season they did competitions outside Italy as well. And she probably has been at singles competitions in different countries for sure.

Grrr. I had watched as far as the end of Brooke and Ben's programme on catch up on the ISU stream. Took a break because I needed to do something else. Now the whole thing is unavailable due to a copyright claim.

Overall a better standard this week compared to Skate America.

I also really appreciated the technical know how from Kristen Moore Towers on the commentary.

Thanks labgoat. I was just coming back to say that I'd found it on the Skate Canada website and watched it there.

do we know who the commentators are that we hear on Peacock?

I managed to catch up a bit and at 33 I felt INCREDIBLY self-conscious watching Deanna schooling the field. She's absolutely mesmerising to watch, her carriage is absolutely amazing, her lines and how she puts the expression, fierce look over every move is just so tasty. She has that intimidation streak about her and I started to laugh a bit at myself while thinking that I would fear to give her flower crown

She was great, wasn't she? Kaitlyn W was also a really good commentator on the ice dance. Both of them brought lots of insight, have nice speaking voices and are really positive.

Mark, the Scot. I can't grab what his last name is, tho' I know it. Somewhere in my brain

Deanna and her high standards is the western worlds version of

Ksenia Stolbova.​

I wouldn't go that far... back in the days, I always felt that if Fedor made a mistake, he'd be in major trouble. Deanna is much more considerate towards Max and their team in general. She just was, and rightly so, expecting higher scores.

And he was in major trouble, quite memorably, on at least one occasion. Despite feeling bad for Fedor, I laughed so hard! it was like a cartoon come to life, but so much better.

In fact, Deanna is just the sweetest thing ever when interacting with fans! She and Maxime will stay out there happily signing autographs, accepting congrats, etc., until the point where the Canadian team officials literally force them to leave. I have seen this at multiple comps! Please don’t be intimidated

Ooh, I don't know - I recall Deanna giving Nathan Bartholomay a death glare worthy of Barbara Fusar-Poli after one of their skates....

You're right! And I think it happened more than once. Once when he was trying in K&C to make it up to her and she wasn't having it.
