2018 NHK Ladies Free Skate

[CaroLiza_fan]

My goodness, Eurosport took their time to start their coverage on the TV! It's only just come on air (at the time the Warm-Up started - 07:40 GMT)!

Still no sign of any World Feed streams on the Player...

Chris on British Eurosport just said Eunsoo’s SP yesterday was one of the best things he’s ever seen in his life

The uncles were quite smitten with her yesterday It's cute

Pretty sure I've said this before, but Masha what on Earth are you wearing ...

Damn the only stream that works is the Russian one and their commentators are very talkative! Well beggars can't be choosers and must feel relieved it's not Jonny and Tara lol.

Quick question for one of my Korean friends: Why is the "u" in the English transliteration of Eunsoo's name if the "u" is not pronounced? It's pronounced Ensoo right?

She now has to correct every English speaker several times a day

Um... Here's a recording I did some time ago, Eunsoo's the fourth name pronounced. There isn't an equivalent sound for the 'ㅡ' in English. https://clyp.it/v5stqthl?token=4219f...76c0fb327ac473

I still love Kailani’s dress.

 

[tabsy]

I am ready

Good luck Kailani!

Loving the sultry eyes shot of Kailani mid program! Well done editing... highlight the skater and not miss the skating!

Asian events are the best in Europe if they start during noon over there (looking at you, Olympics). Nice morning with figure skating.

I missed like half of Kailani Crane, but from what I saw she was very energetic and lively. Saw some mistakes though...

 

[brens78]

Well done Kailani, a small stumble but always a joy to watch

 

[WeakAnkles]

Well it wasn't quite as effervescent as the last time I saw it, but isn't Ms K just a breath of fresh spring air? And the neckline of that dress is too 40s for words!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

That is more like the sort of programme that we are used to seeing from Kailani.

She definitely suits the more up-tempo routines.

Although, she did look to be tiring towards the end. But, she kept the character through it.

For me, much better than yesterday.

Kailani get it girl! Some of the landings were squeaked out (and the second lutz wasn't great) but I do like the energy of the programme. On a side note, her lutz entrance kept me thinking she was going for the loop instead, I was shook.

all the skating World Feed streams for today have disappeared from the Eurosport Player.

Just made the same discovery myself

 

[GGFan]
