I'm a little too tired to stay up and watch the men, so good luck everyone!

have a good sleep and enjoy the skating tomorrow

 

[Arigato]

We're live!

 

[tsuyoboogie]

The Men are usually my favorite to watch and there are so many guys in this competition whose skating I enjoy

However, knowing 2 out of the 3 Japanese Men competing are injured, 1 admitting he'll skate his SP using painkillers makes me feel frustrated...and sad (I know athletes do what they gotta do but still...)
I've decided to skip this event live but if all goes well enough I'll watch the entire line up or select performances later

Good Luck to all the guys! (especially Haru in his GP/ Senior Int'l competition debut)
Hoping everyone will skate safe and perform their best

ISU Stream has started. Best wishes to all skaters.

mio Frangi !!!!!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Woohoo! Always appreciate the Asian GPs when I can watch at a decent hour Aussie time.

Also, hey Mark!

 

[labgoat]

Mark's accent again - it is hard to fool-ly predict the results of the men's event

Great to see you live @anonymoose_au and @Sai Bon earlier.

 

[TallyT]

I haven;t seen Jimmy's costume before, I will... have to think about it.

 

[labgoat]

Go Jimmy! Set yourself up well today. Put that time training in Japan and those boxing lessons to good use today. Either way - proud of you for doing the hard mental work!

If you don't know what I am referring to - see Jimmy's fan fest interview

He credits Japan and boxing for making him a better skater...

 

[anonymoose_au]

Gabrielle are you...are you wearing...a FAKE short sleeve shirt?

I can't even

 

[auser]

Mark's accent again - it is hard to fool-ly predict the results of the men's event

Maybe becuz I watch and love lots of UK tv. I love his Scots tones.

 

[FlossieH]

Hello

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Hiiiii, I'm hear at an ungodly hour, so I might skip PBPs because of said ungodly hour and also because my favourite son is hear and I hate doing PBPs during a panic attack. Still excited for this event, even though there is a high menning potential.

 

[auser]

Go Jimmy! Set yourself up well today. Put that time training in Japan and those boxing lessons to good use today. Either way - proud of you for doing the hard mental work!

Thank you for the boxing training tip.

 

[labgoat]

Okay I am so nervous for all the men...nobody else is allowed to get hurt

 

[Sai Bon]

It's started!!!
