I have a really odd question: was it always like this in the "old" days (I'm thinking back about, oh, 10-15 years), that ice resurfacing only took about fifteen minutes? I used to watch figure skating when I was younger, but not obsessively, and in my memory it always took ages for the ice to dry after the zambonis had left the ice. Now it always seems like the skaters can go on the ice almost immediately after the zambonis have left. Is it just my faulty (child's) memory, or have ice prep techniques and such changed a lot over the years that it really does take far less time?

I think it might depend on the event...seems like the break is longer at larger competitions. Maybe to allow the bigger crowds of people to use restrooms, etc. The JGP is more efficient due to less people...that's my theory at least.

Oh... I hadn't even considered that. :drama:

Sorry, now returning you to your regularly scheduled men's competition. Looks like the boys are on the ice again!

Of course, but it's just surprising that they did it in the middle of a competition. Bit demoralizing when he still had the LP left.

It can't possibly have been more demoralizing than scoring 50.39.

Whats with all these spoken words this season?!

tsuyoboogie · Sep 26, 2015

I love watching Roman skate, no matter what~

Come on Sota!

silverfoxes · Sep 26, 2015

Ok, that's too bad but Deniss can beat that...and that makes me happy. Sorry Roman.

skateyamada · Sep 26, 2015

Go Sota!

Winnie_20 · Sep 26, 2015

Aw yeah, Sota!!!! :party2:

NaVi · Sep 26, 2015

Well Sota just booked his ticket to the JGP Final.

Interspectator · Sep 26, 2015

Sota is back on track.
Woohooo!

NaVi · Sep 26, 2015

Now if Deniss can beat Roman then he'll most likely get into the JGP Final too.

WeakAnkles · Sep 26, 2015

Well that was the first really quality FS. Good for Sota. If he doesn't win this I'll be shocked.

Winnie_20 · Sep 26, 2015

I just

this program.
Aw cute, he also has a little bear. ;-)
SB, way to go!

TheGrandSophy · Sep 26, 2015

Roman has a nice quality that is very lovely sometimes. Shame about the mistakes.

Well done, Sota! Much better!

Interspectator · Sep 26, 2015

Go Denis!

It's gonna be close...

"Deniss is a fine and very strong skater." [Deniss falls flat.]

He has such beautiful spins and footwork.

Interspectator · Sep 26, 2015

Sudden fall after he's done. Must be tired.
