I'm just getting an endless commercial for various products including Mennen speed stick and Colgate toothbrushes. Do I need to do something else?

 

[Buttercup]

Did you see the PCS for Ahmed/Porter? It was pretty brutal.

Doris, I'm guessing there was a commercial break, because it was working for me earlier and it's working now.

that top hat was a hoot. It looked like he was dressed up as Lincoln in a 4th of July parade. It was so large.

 

[Eevun]

Popping in and out. Will be back for real around 3 o'clock at the 2 last groups. Go Kerr!! I really liked that France couple. Benoit's trousers were really cool! Tartan, oh yes...

Budner and Moscicki up now (POL) then Minnie the moocher (blues 1940) & Sing Sing Sing (Swing)

They left in the drug taking part (Kick the gong around) and (being cokey)

I forget from time to time that the 1920's had legal drug use and 1 in 8 women in NYC was a prostitute until I hear these kinds of lyrics. Gilles and Donohow skated to Flatfoot floogie with the floy floy (cheap streetwalker with an STD)-which if the language were not so obscure would be

My feed keeps freezing so I can't really comment on the quality of the dances.

Those tidbits of information are great Doris! They only lose to your costume descriptions... :agree:

Domnina /Shabalin has withdrawn from ice dance event

Really? They're still listed in the starting orders and the competition has already started.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Dom/Shab's WD was confirmed on Eurosport at the end of the pairs LP last night. Also, if you look at the schedule for today instead of the starting order, they're no longer listed - only 4 teams in the final group.

Oh no, how bad for them. Did they give a reason for their withdrawal?

There's also a few articles on the web, so that'd probably be qualified as reliable

I checked but the turkish channels don't seem to have it on and it isn't working for me with palmtv right now. Are there any other channels showing it yet? thanks

 

[dorispulaski]

I've got to take a breather here. I have to be back for the jr OD at US Nationals. I'd stay, but the feed is freezing up too much to tell what's going on for me. I'll have to catch it next week on-demand on icenetwork.

The swedish channel is working!. Also russian webtv.

They seem to be doing a reprise of the CD during the ice cleaning? At least I hope so...

SVT isn't showing anything live, it's just on-demand. And they're not sending the whole event, just a summary. E.g., the pair broadcast from yesterday contains only the podium skaters.

Tried that justintv link we used earliers but it said contents have been removed as of copyright and won't be available for 9 hours. Shame.
