Daniel. Nice outfit and program. It was nice to see him again.

Hello, American and not American skating friends!
It is Friday evening here in the central Europe, but I am not in the city but ready for some great quads and splats. Are you ready too?

No splats!!!! NONE!!!

SLAY YARO!!!!!!

Already Ashley Wagner has offended me, and we don’t even have any men on the ice yet. “The men you are here to see” being in the last group, Ashley?

Some of us, including me, are here for skaters in groups one and two, including Andrew T. Go Andrew!!

Go Sam!!!! And Yaro! And everyone!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I missed part of that because the exterminator is exterminating but glad to see Daniel again

le sigh... time for another jump math lesson! Class, if we do a solo triple toe, when can we repeat it in the short program?

A). in combination, because it's fine, right? right? right!?!?!?!
B). my coach didn't think of that because my quads are so reliable and I never make a mistake on them in practice!
C). never, because you can't repeat a solo jump and a jump in combination
D). always, if you like throwing away points and doing extra work for no reason
E). giant bottle of lotion

Where are the folks with the sparkly jackets?

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I wouldn’t take what Ashley said to be an intentional diss of this group. She mentioned in the podcast she’s excited to see Sam Mindra again. I think they are told to assume a casual audience.

 

[moonvine]

Good to see Sam is still hot. Sorry to hear he is injured and has had to modify his program. I love both his programs this year.

Todd Eldredge is ageless

 

[snowflake]

GO Yaro! LOL same style.

 

[Carol1]

My microwave has more personality and charisma than I saw in Yaro's skate today.

 

[auser]

So fun to see Yaro even when his jumps are not perfect. Loved the split jumps.

YAROOOO THE AXELLL

 

[el henry]

Love the little jiggle at the beginning. Yaro was concentrating on the jumps and not serving choreo like he can.

Of course, it would be nice if I could watch the program without certain commentators talking through it. (yes, looks like I will be bitching and moaning about this all afternoon)

 

[yelyoh]

Go Goku.

 

[el henry]

All together now:

Roxannnnnne!

My microwave has more personality and charisma than I saw in Yaro's skate today.

but isn't your microwave hot?

Great to see Yaroslav back on the ice - such a great mover, and he really feels the music - fantastic entertainer. well done
