Did anybody else near wet themselves when they heard the woman over the PA say the name of the Assistant Technical Specialist?

Mr. Igor BICH

Suffice to say, I wasn't expecting her to pronounce it like a female dog...

I was so hoping that Debbie would have gone back to the hotel for a nap and overslept or something...darn

edit - but she isn't talking during the skating, hallelujah!

I don't get this baggy suit for a Santana program...not a good choice

 

[QuadThrow]

But if you are not able to do a 3Tw it is better to do a 2Tw

My point is:there are some pairs with very Bad 3Tw (marchei/hotarek) and i cannot imagine that a bad 3Tw is not achievable for the German. Everyone noticed that they improve. I like them. But a Double twist is like Kindergarten if some pairs Show a quadTwist.

Everyone says the same

Weak start for Franz. Huge potential more than Liebers. But no consistency.

Can someone post the elements and their
Execution again,please? My Internet connection is too bad for streaming

OK - how did Grant score 69+ with that skate! It had major errors and he was very slow! It was only 3 points lower then his PB!

 

[Sugarpova]

Max just came back from an injury and we all know how nervous he can be, can´t believe people are laughing here.

I wouldnt pay attn to those Jules
they're probably D/R fans & Max haterz

hopefully its nerves & not his shoulder bothering him poor bb

Positive experience for them 4 sure but SS score is a joke

Really nice....

Franz Streubel has been my classmate for One year.

Is there some other family stuff?

 

[Layback11]

Michal Chayzina?

I get it if she butchers it a little, but Brezina does not even remotely start with a Ch.

However, her pronunciation of Florent Amodio is very good. :agree:

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

All along, I was planning to leave after the first group. But, seeing who is in this second group, there is no chance that I'm bailing out yet!!!

All the best guys!!!

Yes this is the group to watch!

Amodio is fashionable as ever

 

[Layback11]

At first I was wondering what the heck Florent was wearing until I remembered he's skating to "Happy."

At first I was scratching my head when I heard that intro...thank goodness that's not the whole song!
