They changed the music. It's all Beatles now instead of only begining & the end. They added Norwegian Wood in the middle. You can check yourself on their ISU Bio. ( I put the info about it in their FanFest yesterday.) There may also be other changes too, but of course, I wouldn't know it.

Thank you for the information, cathlen. I did not think to look into their fan thread, but should have thought about the ISU bio. As for the music change, not that I disliked the music (apparently I am one of those few who actually liked their SD as it was), but I guess it is for the better. Very likely now the program will look more coherent and probably more appealing to judges.

I liked the SD as it was too But I'm also a huge Beatles fan, so I'm not complaining about changes

Denis Ten had clean run through . honestly if this man (Denis) podiums at wc this year, his brain and body should be investigated. for scientific purposes.)

Thank you, Marin. Yes, it will be amazing if that happens. In this field, though, just an out of podium (top 5) place with two good skates will also be amazing for Ten after the season he has had so far.

Ten: SP runthru (4T3T, 3A, 3Lz), 2S, 2S, 2S, 4S<fall, 2S, 4S

Uno: 3S, 3F, FS runthru (4T2T, 2A1/2Lo3F, 2Lz(turn), skated thru Lo & S, 4T, 3A, 3A1T), 3A, 2A, 3A, 1A, 1A, 3A, 3A(step)

Thanks, ioanna. Are those 2S from Ten all popped/doubled 4Ss?

 

[skylark]

Thanks loads to everyone who has provided practice reports! Much appreciated!



Word. There is a reason I have negative nellies like that on ignore - especially during a major championships.

Thanks. But ... I've wondered why those kinds of statements seem to go unchallenged most of the time (maybe because others ignore also). Something in me must leap to the defense of the maligned one. Upside: I started paying more attention to Adam, re-watched his Nationals FS frequently, and listened to the recent Conf. calls, What's up World Team, etc. I have since become a Bona Fide Adam Rippon fan! His positivity is awesome.

Jackie said those were 4S attempts. Here's a clean 4S

Just had a long chat with Alaine Chartrand's grandfather. They are wearing white and red striped scarves with "Take the Char-train" and Alaine's name stitched on it. He said Kaitlyn Weaver came up with the slogan. Lol

Does that mean they won't be at this afternoon's practice?

 

[silverfoxes]

I can't imagine that they would feel like practicing today after flying halfway around the world, so no.

 

[TheGrandSophy]

I like Laurine's practice dress. Very cute.

The dance draw is going on. Does anyone what place the Shibs got?
