Yeah, the bad quality of the stream is really unfortunate. The other Challengers provided much better streaming. Well, that means waiting for a vid to be uploaded

Oh. My. God. What is this streaming quality? Worse than yesterday

I don't even try I just watch the videos immediately when they are posted.

I'm going to adopt your strategy and turn it off. It's a waste of time because it's doing nothing for me.

This feed is killing me

Unfortunately the videos are posting much slower today than yesterday- they are about 3 skaters behind instead of just one- but yes it is just too frustrating for me.

I'm just staring at the online results screen, hoping to get updates.

Total 176.70!

The FD score was 106.58

Congratulations, Elena and Ruslan I'm over the moon for them.

Me too! Can't wait for video!

Now they have two wins under their belts :dance:

 

[Marta25]

Yay, their first international win. arty:

Those new personal bests are huge, though.

 

[tvuckic16]

LOL...wow... Russians went all out with those scores... LOL. IZ FD is very good though, so I don't doubt that will score really high anywhere.

 

[Marta25]

And no lift deductions!

A little out of sync on the twizzles but I think the programme is amazing. Will need to polish it over the season but I love it to bits.

Having seen the costumes in action I actually think it's hers that could benefit from a change- I think it would be better if it was very similar/the same design wise, but shorter, so you can see her lines and her knees better.


Overall a very lovely program! It could be a bit smoother, but that will come with time

Who cares about the scores. We all know that B competitions are overscored anywhere. It's the programs an the performance which counts in the end. I'm so happy with their programs and the shape they have.

In the meanwhile, TAT is becoming very complimenting towards these two. Should I get worried?

 

[uhh]

It's the eternal battle for Kustarovas skaters not to be smothered in too much fabric

I agree. Changing the length would be a better idea.
