Okay, I got up and watched this SP and so far, both with women and men, there's been some serious frowning going on at the judges from Chez Tally, they seem to be taking naps when they should be scoring - the delays in both but especially this one are unacceptable and they need stomping on. I did read that there were tech issues, which also is unacceptable especially as they knew about them before the men started (there were also sound issues, especially in the women's. The lack of attention to detail is showing, ISU.) I think that both firsts and the women's silver are Hamada students? Methinks ISU has its new Eteri and (this also showed last year) going to really push to fill the largish hole in their star drawcards in Japan and elsewhere.
Plenty of dull wearemanlymendressinginmanlymenclobber costumes (boys, if you are gonna wear plain black you need to have Chen's whizbang rep or Hanyu's unearthliness, otherwise you just look like also-rans who can't be bothered) and those that sparkled looked a little... timid, though I guess youngsters can be timid. Anthony as always brought his A-game to the costume and the performance. Music choices were also to a large extent less than inspired, we were expecting that...
(ps - now everyone go and download the ones you liked before music licences mean yankings, folks! Of course, youtube are also making it a damn sight harder to download now....)
