could be a skater's parent who is waiting for her skater to skate

or it could be someone like me who is watching intently but has to be doing something with their hands regardless because of their nerves...

 

[kate]

Long wait for scores, but 3A and 4T were clearly rotated on the IN replay

[Not Anybodys Mother]

Yeah, to be fair, if I knitted, I would totally bring my knitting to a skating competition. There's so much downtime!

I bet she's mortified, and I totally hope the removal of the ball of yarn makes the news!

3lp-3lp tight (not sure if second loop is complete) looked ok on replay
death drop

Which is fine, but stick the damn yarn in a bag!

Dear Nancy, please stop constantly talking about yourself
Very nice opening choreography

Beautiful and calm. Very much a Skating Club of Boston type of program.

[emma]

I totally feel bad for the 'yarn lady', she must feel mortified!

 

[jcoates]

Scott Smith-

withdrawn! Sad.

He does not look in pain. Commentators say he has a back injury.

 

[kate]

Scott Smith (Lord of the Dance) surprised he switched clubs when he moved...

Talking to the referee
He's withdrawn
No reason given, he looks fine, dressed for the competition, etc...

 

[Lissy]

What happened to Scott? I hope he isn't too hurt.


ETA: Nancy said it might be his back

 

[jcoates]

He apparently hurt himself in practice this morning and decided to pullout after warm up.
