Oh, neither Mark or Ted are going to Japan. They are both commentating from home.

Is that a first?

Clearly you never read Sweet Valley High Mark, it was all about the 4 minutes between the twins

Funny story. There are a set of twins that are motorbike racers, and after coming up through the British Championship together, they went in different directions when they reached World Championship level. But, they will be back racing against each other next season, when Sam Lowes joins Alex Lowes in World Superbikes.

The younger one, Alex, was being interviewed about racing against Sam again. And he was saying it will be great, because they always did so many things together. Then he added: "Sam is 3 minutes older than me, and those were the worst 3 minutes of my life!"

Where have I seen Lana's dress before?

 

[elektra blue]

i'm back!

 

[Jeanie19]

Lana. I love her pink and blue dress. And of course, I love her music.

 

[EdgeCall]

Lana seems to do mostly ballet. The Axel was botched, the other jumps only doubles and the spins were rather slow. I hope she can find more ice time for training, because her movements are really elegant!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Twin time.

Yujae, IChat sends his greetings and best wishes!

 

[elektra blue]

olè! @Ichatdelune Yujae was solid

 

[Jeanie19]

Yujae. Beautiful red dress and bow. All greens. Great jumps and spins. She skates fast and good skating skills.

 

[EdgeCall]

Nicely done!

 

[TallyT]

She put heart and soul into that, lovely!

(and gorgeous red dress!)

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

After Rena skated first this morning, I said I felt sorry for the skaters that weould follow her, because it would be a hard act to follow.

And I feel the same now after Yu-Jae!

The worst of it is, it is my kid that is following her!

ALL THE BEST CHIARA!!!

don't let @4everchan see you

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I agree with Mark, I didn't recognise her either with the new hair colour!

Well, there were a couple of grey squares, but at least there were no red squares.

Of course, Yu-Jae going just before her set a very high bar. But, it was a good skate. And I hope she realises that.

Into 10th position, sandwiched between two other skaters that I like. She is just 0.13 points below Olivia LENGYELOVA (SVK), and 2.09 points ahead of Zhasmin SHLAGA (KGZ).

WELL DONE CHIARA!!!

it must be because of the fog

If it could karmically help the skaters I would brave any critics and keep crossing with abandon.
