I think I heard him mention the name Tom Kirkland or similar earlier. Does that ring a bell with anyone as possible commentator?

And confirmation, the stream is accessible through the Olympic Channel app on iOS.

Just looked him up. And if his Twitter account is anything to go by, he is a general sports commentator that doesn't specialise in anything in particular.

Which would explain a lot.

It might have been the EYOF. Because that was also broadcast on the Olympic Channel.

Whenever it was, I remember thinking then that he wasn't great at talking about what was happening on the ice. That a lot of the time he was just talking generally.

But, at least he can identify elements.

That's exactly what event it was! Thx Caro! He's getting several elements mixed up.

Have to say, I have been very impressed with the first three skaters. And I remember liking the next girl the last time I saw her.

This is turning into a very impressive opening group.

Wonder what the two Filipina girls at the end will be like. I don't think I've seen either of them before.

Ah! Didn't notice that.

I suppose you could say that at least knowing the names of elements is something. That's more than some general sports commentators can do.

Clutching at straws for something positive to say...

Promsan has done triple sal and toe in the past. Too bad. The ladies so far are nice skaters though!

Thanks! And yes it would.
I miss that Bartlett (sp??) guy... who does the JGP commentary. He is nice to listen to.

Ted Barton.

Oh, yes! If the Olympic Channel could get him, it would be brilliant.

But, I suppose he has too many other obligations in his roles at Skate Canada and the ISU.

that person commentating on the olympic stream makes me laugh, all his sentences finish like they are questions

I love the music for Promsan,
and her coach! Kana's big sister!

I didn't realise Kana and Satsuki were sisters!!!! :jaw:

Well, Muramoto is a pretty common surname. ;) :biggrin:

What a talented family!

love the back of Samantha's dress but not the front....

I kind of love all of it, but the gloves are soooo distracting. Though this dress could be a wedding dress, tbqh.

Edit: Wait, on closeup, there is really huge bling on that dress. Could be better with smaller rhinestones.
