Same time zone I'm in. Men's LP starts at 2:45 AM Pacific. I'm too tired to stay up for it so will watch videos tomorrow. Hoping for better results for Yuzu...he looked so tired for the SP which maybe was due to jet lag.

Haha bold young man. I love that attitude
. Hope he won't have to eat his words tmrw/today 
Perfect! Thanks for the info. He's so determined now and I think that attitude will give him good results, then again I'm also expecting the worse

I'm in California and I've decided I'm staying up to watch it, partially cause one of my friends begged me not to make her do it alone XD Coffee time!
Welcome to the club. Alright, 6 more hours to go! Until then, I'll make some coffee as well

lol oh gawd, did you have to give the hours a number like that? XD My poor other friends, all they've been hearing about is figure skating and they don't even watch the sport. Hooray for having all of you to talk with!

I watch with my sisters and mom. COC is great because the time difference is not extreme and we get to watch it live after dinner.
Olymipcs was difficult.
Oppositely, I need to get up around 4 am to watch COC while OG was competing during my working time that everybody was watching some games.I know. At first I thought it might not be too bad, but when I counted the hours I was like "Oh god. Should I really do it?"
By the time it's 3:00, we will all be like this

You might want to take a nap and set the alarm?
I have my ways of staying up. After all, I'm a college student. Having 4 hours of sleep or less is something I'm a pro at.
I guess I should consider myself lucky this event starts around noon-ish my time. Won't be home for the earlier two events live on Eurosport, but the men's, yes. Now the only question is... do I watch the recording of the previous two events first, and not watch Men's FS live, or, watch it live and no doubt get seriously spoiled by the commentators about who won the previous two events?
Choices choices...

I'm still grumbling Yuzu didn't get assigned to Skate America or Skate Canada. Time difference is too brutal when he's in Asia. Oh well...I will see him skating brilliantly tonight in my dreams.

I've been debating it, but I think I'll manage. I have a job where sometimes I have to pull 20 hour shifts so I'll just pretend like it's that =D

Yes he landed a Lutz in LP. I just watched the practice this morning. The Lutz was great, but the others not so much.
I finally understand why Julia once said "he kills himself in training", today he went for many 4S and 4T, successfully landed 2 4S but fell and popped much more. Single 4T were mostly good, but for the 4T2T his hands touched the ice.
Now some low quality photos.

I don't see someone particularly good or particularly bad. Nam tripled his 4S in the run through and double footed the 3A, but other jumps were good. Maxim like half/half on the difficult jumps. Han Yan said he's twisted his ankle a bit after yesterday's short program, but I think today he looks OK, not doing many jumps, though. Finally I really enjoy Richard's program!!
@pandaatlarge: Quad lutz, quad loop, quad sal, quad toe, quad toe with a combo, trip axel marathon, an unnecessary trip axel from a stand still, and the list goes on
I remember Yulia saying that and thought she's probably over exaggerating it a bit, but now it makes sense.

If these jumps just come occasionally, I don't think this is killing himself since top skaters all try difficult jumps. But today, he went one 4S after one in less than 1 minute! He fell on one, then quickly got up, went back to Brian for advice, then went for the next, until he finally landed one! Then he quickly tried another just to remember how to land a good one. He was just trying one after one after one frequently today, wow.
