58 entries in junior ladies competition. I think that is the most entries in one competition I have seen for a long time.

Anyway, there are some very interesting entries here, like Nastia Gubanova, Mishina/Mirzoev and Samarin.

Team Australia and Team Korea quite well represented.

There are so many entries, I wonder how schedule will look like.

The judges, tech panel, and others are going to need coffee on standby.

Wow, what a lot of entries. It looks like some countries are using this as a pre-nationals or something.

:shocked: The poor judges. And the poor tech panel. Can we have a mandatory rest break? Ouch. That's like ten warmups. Oh my god, how long is the free skate going to be?!

karne badmath time: let's allow each lady 6 minutes (skate + score). Then also ten 6-minute warmups. 348 minutes in skates and scores + 60 minutes in warmups = 408 minutes = 6.8 hours. Nearly seven hours for the free skate!

Possibly, there's also skaters like Paris and Matthew who are looking for an extra three tenths of a point to get them over TES benchmarks...

Does anyone know if there will be a live stream?

There's 52 now, so one warm up group less. And I'm pretty sure there will be less who will in fact compete, though it's still a lot. Fo Advanced Novice girls there is 42 entries too, so yeah, I feel for judges...

Here's the website of the competition: http://www.kristalice.lv/index.php/competitions
There will also be youngsters compettions held: http://www.kristalice.lv/Results/Volvo31st/NONISU/

There is link to livestream too: http://tv.istream.ee/

Is it just me or does the schedule get cut off after the Sr Ladies short program?

blue_idealist · Nov 9, 2016

I see Evgeni Krasnopolski is skating in pairs with a new partner, and his last partner, Adel Tankova, is entered in ice dance with someone else.

It's not just you. I noticed they made two groups of junior ladies! That's smart.

cali1079 · Nov 9, 2016

does anyone know how the livestream works. I clicked the link but it still says it's offline. We should have started already. Do you have to pay for it or something?

It has worked fine for me.

Junior pairs will start shortly.

cali1079 · Nov 9, 2016

never mind. It's working now. Also, I seemed to get better reception from Ustream than the first page the link takes you to.

silverfoxes · Nov 10, 2016

Is nobody watching this competition?

Some good skaters are here...

Some videos on these channels (sorry, too lazy to do individual links):

I want to watch the seniors, but the schedule only said yesterday when the senior ladies free would be, not the other events. Thanks for the YouTube links.

Keith · Nov 10, 2016

I have found some programmes on you tube not long after schedule!

silverfoxes · Nov 13, 2016

Well, congratulations to Angelina Kuchvalska, Ivett Toth, and Kailani Crane for medaling here, although it seems nobody watched or cared. I haven't seen the senior ladies' videos uploaded yet, but it looks like scores were pretty low across the board.

Congrats to my angel Nastya with another win :love:

But about seniors: What happened with Alexandrina Degtyareva? She lead (!) after SP, ahead Kuchvalska.
And now she disappeared somewhere
