For those who don't have Instagram, the tagged skaters are: Ian Somerville; Emily Bratti; Molly Cesnak; Yegor Yegorov; Katie McBeath; Daniil Parkman; Sofia Bezkorovainaya; Jimmy Ma; Jeremy Abbott; Gracie Gold; Camden Pulkinen; Ashley Cain. The first photo shows the 12 skaters standing on the ice in those red jackets. There are more photos from during the program, and the last photo is the group hug between Yebin, Gracie, and Ashley. Here is Yebin's full caption; I highly recommend reading every single word.

There are no words—only the depth of emotions felt in the heart. From the heartache for the ones we lost to the overwhelming love and unity that Legacy on Ice brought to us all.
When Kevin asked if I could create a masterclass number like we had done at the camp and skate in honor of those we lost, I wasn’t sure I could. It had been so long since I last performed. But when I thought about our NDC skaters, any hesitation faded. Every ounce of my energy belonged to honouring our skaters.
I also knew I wanted Gracie and Ashley by my side. As coaches at NDC, they had watched these skaters grow year after year, forming bonds that made this loss even more profound. It meant everything to me that we could do this together.
From editing the music to assembling the video montage, I planned every detail along with Kevin. But up until the final dress rehearsal, the montage wouldn’t play. I was stressed—it had to work. It needed to work. It was for our skaters. After exhausting all options with the tech team and finding no solutions, I resigned myself to the idea that it might not happen. But then, during the live show, when it finally played—I teared up with relief that video played for all 151 of us. A deep, silent thank you to the angels above and to the tech team who made it possible. Because this moment, this tribute, the video meant everything to us. It was for them. It was for where we last stood together. For what it meant to us. Jinna, Spencer, Franco, Angela, Sean, Brielle, Cory, Eddie, Olivia, Alydia, and Everly. And for the ever-supportive coaches: Inna, Evgenia, Vadim, and Sasha.
Even after the monumental outpouring of love and support, I find myself randomly crying again in the car today. The weight of this loss is immeasurable. My heart aches for the families, and I send them all the love and strength I have.
But amidst the sorrow, I am deeply grateful. Grateful that we were able to share one last moment together. Grateful that we could honor their love for this sport, this art—the joy of gliding, the joy of music, the joy that they loved so much. Thank you to all who made this event possible and to all who came

P.S. According to
this report on Figure Skaters Online, there were three performances before the broadcast started. Ashley Cain skated to "Footprints in the Sand," DC Edge (synchro) skated to "You Say," and Molly Cesanek & Yegor Yegorov skated to “Come into My Arms.” This report is also far more personal than the ones on the news. Gina Capellazzi has been involved in skating media for 11 years, and it shows. I promise, her report is so worth reading.

from me as well. I had watched about the first 12 minutes of the YouTube version when it disappeared/went private. I was so happy to be able to watch the rest (well, almost the rest). Now will go hunting for Ilia and the finale.
