Wait why is this team just skating circles?

And here’s the pair who is skating to participate and holding hands just skating around. Hopefully their injury or issue will be fixed by Nationals

My best guess is that there is some type of injury but all these teams are moving on to Nationals so they are just skating to participate so that they can move on. They did the same thing yesterday but they did a spin I think.

She competed in singles earlier today and did stuff.

Honestly watching this just to cheer on Timmy and Ellie.

I used to skate at the rink his mom is the skating director at and he was one of the first kids (he was early teens at the time) to welcome me to the rink when I moved there and he’s always been such a kind kid, now adult.

They have to be doing what they were told they had to do. I'm so intrigued what the story is, though.

Then it must be he who is injured.

I adore him. In a totally non creepy way since I’m engaged to Jimmy Ma.

 

[moonvine]

Oh no..well that could have been more painful. I’m glad it wasn’t.

 

[moonvine]

A tie. I dig it.

 

[moonvine]

Yay Timmy and Ellie! Yay stuffies!

 

[midori green]

They look like they're having so much fun out there. Love it!

I am seeing things I guess. the official PDF schedule shows the ladies free at 5:45 p eastern. But if you click on the start order, it says 4:45 pm. I guess I will tune into the earlier one and see whats up.

The Peacock schedule says 4:45 est, too. My guess is they moved the women earlier since there are only 5 senior pairs (the pdf schedule allows for 12 pairs).

Final group of junior women on the ice.

Yes! Reede! A Billy Joel number! +10 GOEs! Not a dreadful cover either.

 

[moonvine]

Well that was not what I or certainly not he wanted, but work on it and bring it back next year.

USfigureskating should offer junior and senior videos on demand on fanzone too! It just doesn't work for Peacock to only stream these events live. That's so egregious and uncaring toward fans.

I’m absolutely exhausted and much as I want to see everything I am going to have to take a nap. It’s ridiculous that they all overlap like this. I also hate the way they are deciding who goes to Nationals which changes literally every year.

Especially since it appears there may be overlap between various sectional events later today/tonight.
