they have been running late. i think there is a time difference issue as well - off by an hour (later)

There's a separate link for the warmup groups 1 of pairs and women
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yZ9OiAHHc0 (pairs G1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-p_Ux1IMiM (women G1)
I think the timing issues are due to the fact that St. Louis is in Central Time, but someone may have accidentally input the start times in Eastern Time instead, so everything is an hour off.
It was counting down to Women's groups 2&3 and now it's back to nothing happening. Women's group 1 says waiting for US Figure Skating. And Women and Pairs is scheduled for the same time. I am no longer tech savvy enough for all this.

Definitely will. I think I'll need to add a French version. Vous êtes quelque chose mais pas rien is how I think it would go.@saine please tell someone to post this for the Canadian skaters from me
He is such a fantastic performer and a beautiful skater - looking forward to seeing more of him on the international circuit.

Pairs Group 1
1 Linzy Fitzpatrick / Keyton Bearinger
2 Naomi Williams / Lachlan Lewer
3 Emily Chan / Spencer Akira Howe
I am still in shock than Emily & Spencer are in the first group.
Lighting candles and saying prayers for a redemption skate.

I really like him - he has such great qualities - he's another skater whom I'm looking forward to seeing more of on the international circuit.

We're back to US Nationals being incompetent: they are still not playing skaters' music before the free program events. Athletes only have 20 minutes or so to warm up, without their music being played. Every single other event in the world plays athletes' music, and USFS did that for the short programs, but apparently they don't "have time" to do that for the free programs. I don't know why they can't have a normal warmup session and have the dancers and men practice at a different rink (maybe the one where they held Junior nats) so that athletes can have a normal practice session, but nope! Instead, athletes have a very rushed warmup period and don't get to run through their programs until they're skating in competition.
US Nationals has been doing this for years, but I thought they had changed this policy because they had normal practices for the short. But it looks like we're back to the old ways for the free programs.

I was looking at protocols and Bradie's scores for spins in SP.
What was wrong with her flying spin that was only scored as 12th best? I don't recall anything wrong - she is usually a very, good and fast spinner. Double axel onty 13th best?

It ain't over till it's over
I like what Ashley said while Emily/Spencer waited for their scores Wednesday. It was a devastating skate, but on the other hand, there's an opportunity to have a freer, great free skate. Today! hoping for their redemption skate!

Same short program in Canada 2022 where she landed everything! So she can do it..
(Ignore Mark’s comments.. he admits to making wrong calls at the end.. sheesh
)I also love how Spencer flips her up out of death spirals.. so crisp! Must take a lot of strength on his part to do that.

Individual Rinkside practice videos with commentary from Jean-Luc Baker and Jackie Wong now posted as are lists for tomorrow. Links will be filled in as they appear. This could save you a lot of searching if you only want to watch one skater.

glad your enjoyed my comments. Did you see the post with all the links to the practice videos?Thank you for your comments especially @labgoat
As I can't watch the real deal it is nice to see some of them in practice. US men in particular are enjoyable to watch... diverse and many interesting programs.
I can't make USTV share with the world, but practice videos are freely shared by USFS
