Ice dancers practicing in their costumes at all practice sessions is typical of ice dance practices. I believe they do this to give a better impression of themselves to the judges.

Love the new, more minimalist costumes Chock/Bates have! JLB is impressed by the high degree of difficulty in their free skate.

A shorter skirt?!

Yep, shorter-looking from the practice stream imo.
Ah, I noticed the slip on the stream but didn't realize the skirt had caused it! At least a shorter shirt could reduce the chances of this happening in competition?

I forgot about my Bingo today that was downstairs.
This is nice watching practice

It's a little less va-va-va-voom on her top, and I think that's probably a smart choice.
There's only so much averting of my toxic male gaze that I can manage.
Probably Jackie Wong of RockerSkating. He sees everything.

I don't remember ever seeing a men's practice either in person or on TV where the crowd stood up and clapped when it was finished. Jason - your are AWESOME. Maybe you don't have the firepower of some of the other skaters but you definitely bring the enjoyment factor and why I fell in love with figure skating in the first place!

I was part of the audience who stood up and cheered and applauded during a Practice at Skate America 2013.
Whose skate? Reel Around the Sun, by Jason Brown (who by the way, many -- including me -- didn't know at all bc it was his first sr. GP.

For about 24 hours, these will be up and should be viewable from Europe on us figure skating's channel's Live tab:
U.S. Figure Skating
U.S. Figure Skating is the national governing body for the sport of figure skating in the United States.
m.youtube.com
The separate practices will be up longer on the same channel on the videos tab, but USFS corrupts the music.

The top is better, too. The first one was too literal for my taste, like, let's rent a matador costume for Halloween.

Practice notes from Dance
Demougeot/Le Mercier the stars of group one. Such an interesting program
Browns the stars of group two—absolutely killed it. I’ve noticed they often skate better in practice than they do in the event itself
Chock/Bates fell on their final element, but you knew that
Fun fact—the back of Daniel Mzarek’s jacket does not say AC/DC, as I’d assumed. It says KC/DC, their first initials! Clever
