G&F were not impressive in their earlier showings. I am thinking a tolerant tech panel is involved. It is troubling that there are no videos of the event and no official scores and protocols that are readily available.

It's driving me crazy! I really want to see Michal, Kostya, MCM, and Dmitri (is this his first senior competition?).
We all feel the same. I don't even know if it's worth it to stay up this late (it's almost 3AM here) in hopes for an update for the scores and results from the unofficial twitter for at least the Men's SP (I need to know MCM's standing).
We can't watch the live stream we can't see the results updated in real time.
We are in the Internet era.
The facebook page of the event not updated to the 2014 competition. A local student can do it for peanuts.
Terrible homepage of the event.
So bad so sad.
What's wrong with Zagreb?
Anti-climax for the popularization of ice skating and totally no care for the fans that can not make it to Croatia.
Is this really the oldest world ice skating competition (as it is promoted)?
Time to discontinue this competition

Ugh, it's awful. It reminds me of the bad ol' days before live streaming where I'd sit in front of the computer, waiting for the scores to come up.
Sylvia (is that the right name?) just tweeted this: MARTINZE PHI 74.45, 2nd atm #GoldenSpin2014, so I'm hoping that means Michal skated well.

I'd argue the caller was really nice! 35.88 TES?! That's higher than Chock & Bates TES from Skate America! (who previously had the highest TES, ha!)
Their SB TES previously didn't even break 30 (28.55 from Skate America this season) and now they have top-tier TES?
Hubbell and Donahue's previous PB TES in the Short Dance was from way back at Worlds 2012: 32.64.
Really, this is not beneficial for the skaters at all.
From Golden Spin:
TEN KAZ
4toe clean, 3axel - amazing, 3lutz-3toe, he came back for his title ☺ AMazing performance. Poetry! 92.51 - 1st!
Yay Denis!!!!
