Jr. Ladies up next, then Sr. Men. For Shoma fans, he's 3rd in the music rotation. Keegan and his coach just came in the arena for a quick look. Team Eteri standing right by me.
Arena a little cold. May warm up a bit as more people come. Food sales are completely open.

Brezina is a true best story happening this season along Elizaveta's post-Olympic second comeback, both making podium would be a dream!!!

First time I'm seeing Rika K live. Right off the bat she jumps a 3A. Call me impressed. Gorgeous skate from Satoko. For those who like the jump summaries, I'm sure you all know you can check @rockerskating's Twitter. He's sitting two rows away from me with his lap top frantically typing away. God bless him! 
Nice applause for Liza's Assassin's Tango. Great 3A from her.

Was at the arena all day today. It is beautiful, but reeeeeeally cold inside. Wow!
Zagitova looked super strong and focused; so did Satoko. Trusova, Shoma, and Pulkinen had kind of an off day. Nathan Chen's elements also looked a little shaky. Loved seeing the choreo of Tarasova and Morozov's SP with my own eyes. [emoji23] OMG, who came up with that? Their elements are so amazing. I was trying to capture on video, but Zhenya kept jumping out of the frame! She stayed afterwards and signed autographs. Stepanova and Bukin are fantastic live. They really lit up the whole arena. Tuktamysheva landed a gorgeous 3A in her SP run through. She seemed confident and calm. What a dream for me to see Alina, Satoko, Kaori and Liza just skating together a few feet away from me. It was a magical moment, you know? I was so happy. James and Cipres were def fan favorites. Della Monica took a big crash into the boards, but I didn't see what happened. Apparently, Tiffany Zagorski is trying to turn singles ice dancing into a fad! She performed without her partner. Peng fell on her SBS 3, then went back tried it again and landed it. Kaori had a similar situation. She fell on the 3Lo(?) after the spiral in her SP run through, then went back and nailed it twice in the practice after. Hope she and P/J are confident for the short. They are both lovely live. Going to be an amazing competition.
Vancouver is beautiful, by the way! Low-key falling in love with Canada. [emoji3590]

I'm impressed there are no full videos of practices... or am I the only one who can't find them? :sad21:
I wanted to watch practice videos to pass the time and get myself even more hyped for watching the competition!

I have to watch myself, because I end up doing so much fumbling around with my tablet and/or camera that I end up missing half of what's going on in the practice, only to discover that the videos I took were junk anyway. Guess I was being selfish, or was I so frozen I couldn't move?!

Just enjoy yourself for all of us! No worrying about filming! Your only obligation is to soak in all the wonderful skating.

The seniors will start practice in a few minutes! It's less cold outside today, but verrry cold in the arena again. There's a nice little crowd here to watch the practices.

Cha and Brezina both wiped out on their 4 in run through. I think Keegan popped a 3A. Everyone looking a little nervy.
