I saw a WD on the Starting Order. I wonder what's going on....

Daniels Rosciks from Latvia is walking around with a bandage on his leg and with crutches so it's an injury.

Thank you for the update. I hope he gets well soon

Latvian skaters are not off to a good start today. Hopefully Deniss will be the exception!

nice recap of last week, by commentator

 

[silverfoxes]

Already stumbling over the names

Coverage just starting on the livestream.

Sorry to hear about the withdrawal of Daniels Rosciks in the first group. As gallavich said, things aren't going well for the locals today at all.

Although, I'm still trying to work out why he was on the start order in the first place if he was on crutches.

Unless it happened in practice.

I take it everybody in the subsequent groups will be starting earlier than it says in the Time Schedule.

He's still on the ice! One with the light blue shirt.

 

[yyyskate]

that is General officer costume from Chinese boy. Deja vu
the anecdote is, a few years ago China No.1 male skater has been wearing a general officer costume for quite a few seasons. (with fringe)

They asked for "the scores please" as soon as he was done.

1. John-Olof HALLMAN .....21.60+21.82=43.42
2. Daniels ROSCIKS ............WD

 

[silverfoxes]

I don't like that we can see his underpants...:hopelessness:

Fringe boy is skating to Cotton-Eyed Joe

eta: the outfit is not that bad. neither is the music, better than I assumed it would be (since there are no vocals).

 

[yyyskate]

okay, it suppose to be cowboy.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Just had a look through the entry list, and there are only 5 skaters I have heard tell of before.

Sondre ODDVOLL BOE
Deniss VASILJEVS
Anton KARPUK
Julian Zhi Jie YEE
Dmitri ALIEV

So, this will be a real voyage of discovery.


Here's the guy with the fringes.

"Cotton Eyed Joe". Imagine that!

What is it with Chinese skaters and country music? And particularly that song! There are so many of them use it, especially in Ice Dance!
