I am very excited to see Val & Max. They have been missed. It will be good for them to be on the ice with Riku & Ryuchi and Isabella & Aleksandr.

Some videos are in the rewatch already for Group 1 Rhythm Dance
Thank you to this poster

Was trying to activate a third IPTV service during the RD event
Unsuccessful yet again, waiting for assistance
I'm spending way too much time and $ to find a reliable way watch this competition live

Isabella GAMEZ & Aleksandr KOROVIN. PHI
SP: "November" by Max Richter; choreo by Sofia Evdokimova
They are wearing grey costumes and get a very warm welcome.
They look very sad and there is a lot of red on the board, no major misses.

Valentina PLAZAS & Maximiliano FERNANDEZ. USA
SP: "Never Enough" from "The Greatest Showman" by Kelly Clarkson, Alex Lacamoire, Benji Pasek They are wearing burgundy and black, she is wearing rose. Another warm welcome for them.
Enormous twist lift. Both Max & Val lands their 3T and throws. They due their trademark no hand lift. They look very very good. Look out other US teams - they look good. How I missed them.

Riku MIURA & Ryuichi KIHARA. JPN
SP: "Paint It Black" by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger (kept from 2024-25) They are wearing red and black The home country favorites are warmly welcomed. Very clean on their elements. They are fast but measured - pacing themselves without getting too over the top. Very good choice to keep this program. Very happy with their skate & nodding strongly at their scores.

Off and on...it works okay for a while then freezes
Switching to the lower quality today doesn't seem to help...in fact it might be worse

Hoping I'm able to get another stream working soon

Thanks for all your informative posts!
