[auser]

ISU skating stream started. Go all pairs!

 

[moonvine]

I’m still here!

 

[labgoat]

Hey its Scott Wendland (Jenny Meno's original partner) on the tech panel

Ooh Mariusz Siudek too - we are in good hands indeed here

 

[yuumagical]

Mmm, they were showing takoyaki (octopus fritters) on the stream...I wish I could have some right now...

 

[labgoat]

Interesting quick back swizzle warm-up drill from Sui/Han on the warm-up

 

[labgoat]

Mmm, they were showing takoyaki (octopus fritters) on the stream...I wish I could have some right now...

I've never tried them - what do they taste like?

 

[labgoat]

Love the baby Japanese team

 

[museksk8r]

Emily and Spencer

 

[4everchan]

Spencer does belong to @auser so... I am just watching

 

[4everchan]

yeah.. that's right... Sui Han better have changed their lift

 

[labgoat]

Hongbo Zhao never seems to age...

 

[museksk8r]

I hope if Sui/Han repeat the same lift error today that they will get 0 points for it. An omitted element should be invalidated.

 

[yuumagical]

I've never tried them - what do they taste like?

Basically they're savory balls of cooked dough with octopus in the center of it. They're topped with Japanese mayo, a teriyaki-like sauce, and shaved bonito flakes. They are so good and they're typically eaten when they're still piping hot!

 

[museksk8r]

Wow, they are looking really good so far, surprisingly good, actually.

 

[museksk8r]

That lift was a struggle bus though, very little speed and mighty clunky. Should receive -GOE for sure!

 

[4everchan]

Sui Han
much better.
the triple toes were far apart but they were very well timed.
Throw was stellar.
Twist is smaller but she does the tano on It for a feature for level 4

I am still don't know about that lift... it's not great.
