Jasmine Fendi kept on skating w/ her twin brother after he accidentally cut her hand w/ his blade during their Novice Pairs FS. She FINISHED the entire program before showing how much pain she was in! The ice has just been resurfaced so the final 3 pairs can skate. #USChamps18

Err... is there normally a resurface at that point?

Think they were the first pair on the ice after the scheduled resurface.

ETA: Or second? Either way, seemed off-schedule.

Two practice groups for men have gone thru already. Nathan landed some amazing 4T, 4F and L but had trouble with the actual run thru. Vincent Zhou fell quite a bit. 😥

Wow. What a fighter. I hope she is okay and that it's something that looks worse than it actually is.

It was said here that it is standard practice to clean ice after blood. NO fracture. Just stitches. Fingers crossed.

I emailed customer service about the same thing yesterday and they were quick to respond.

Just purchased IN. What does "you can not play this media on your current browser/platform"mean?

A friend of mine was minding the gate at Solar for America today - she was joking about being 'featured' on IN. I. Am. So. Jealous. She says tomorrow she might get to do music. (Did I mention I was jealous?)

I believe there was blood on the ice so they did an extra resurface.

So did anyone actually see the men’s practices? Thoughts?
I watched all senior practices. People who really stood out to me were the obvious ones like Jason Brown, Adam, and Nathan. Sean Rabbitt's free program is a real crowd pleaser and I believe it's music that Polina Edmunds has used in the past. Alex Kroznorov(sp?) was very intense but to me shows real promise. Max was a no show as already reported. I was sitting right in front of Andrea Joyce the interviewer and RockerSkating. I was too starstruck to say hi!

Also- was sad to see Vincent still struggling with his jumps. It will be exciting to see him next season and if he can fix some of the growing pains. I had never seen Jason Brown in person before but now I see why he's so popular. He is truly spectacular to watch and the sweetest, nicest person.

Also, Caroline Zhang sat right in front of me (I know she is beloved here.) She was very energetic and seemed to be there supporting Grant.

Thanks so much for your thoughts!
