2017 GP NHK Exhibition Gala

[randomsplashes]

Ahhh I can literally watch Sui and Han skate all day

Sergei in da house! Skating to Pat Boone...which kinda doesn't help the 'old man' tag

But wear it proudly Sergei, you're the best!

Love how Nobunari, the 2005 Jr World gold medalist and now thirty years old but still landing two quads at the Japan Open this year, praising how Voronov, the 2006 Jr. World Silver medalist and also thirty years old now, never gave up and maintained his physical strength as well as his motivation to improve.

Where's the gorgeous old FS dress :sad21:

Wenjing and Domo-kun skating as a pair

Something about Jason's exhibition really charmed me today. I loved it, but I not sure why:scratch: shrug

Same for the audience it seemed

He looked relaxed and happy, perhaps that was a big part of it.

She had said she had a surprise ex planned, but I think she had to revert back to meditation at the last minute (perhaps less tiring for her ankles?) and didn't have the costume ready!

 

[freeman21]

I'm confused by the Eurosport schedule. Did the exibition finish already ?

 

[Merjan]

Here in Finland the Gala will be on Eurosport2 at 12.30 so in about an hour, after the FD.

 

[Anyasnake]

See you next week in France everyone !

 

[Lester]

Adam looks to complete his divafication with this Perhaps an interesting idea, but the singing was terrible.

 

[Eclair]

German Eurosport about Adam's Gala: "By the way, he can skate, too"

German Eurosport about SuiHan Gala: "They'll win a medal at the Olympics, that's as sure as anything. Which color is the question, but it could be GOLD. Yes, they are this good."

 

[Merjan]

I was waiting for Yuzu to appear, maybe just skate around a little, no jumps. So sad he didn't.

 

[NoNameFace]

I missed it after getting up at 3.40 am today to watch FD - can someone adivse, if there is re-transmission of EX Gala today later/now at some Eurosport?

For me in the UK it should air again in about 45 minutes, but earlier it said it would air on BES2 and it was showing show jumping instead

I wanted to see this ex program by Hiroaki Sato at this gala

I think with a little bit of retooling, that Diamons program could be a show stopper. As in, if Adam started out singing, then put down the microphone for a bit of actual skating during a bridge/instrumental part, maybe to end off with some singing again? That would bring the house down! Completely different from every other program out there.

Or-- it's kind of bonkers to think about, but with a headset microphone, there's no reason why Adam couldn't skate and sing at the same time. Nothing too technical or difficult, but if Broadway actors can sing and dance at the same time, why not ice skaters????

I originally thought he'd sing the first half, and then skate to his own voiceover. I'd like that. I think he'd need quite a bit of time to settle his breathing if he was to resume singing. But I was happy enough with his gala number as it was. Very original! Our Eurosport cut out many gala skates (including Jason and Anna/Luca :sad4: ), so Adam's was easily the most entertaining performance there. I need to find the rest on youtube.

Life is about taking chances and being original . Adam totally did it!

He created the Rippon that gave Russian ladies tons of points (deserve a Xmas gift from team Eteri every year), and sang a Rhianna in Osaka ... Pretty Amazing! He was also one of the first ones that went for 4lz at great risks and costs... others just beat him to it in landing them better and consistent.

I couldn't tell, but did he really sing this practically Acapella or was it pre-recorded. Who knew... Rather Yuna esque All these Kareoke sessions with her these years ago might have inspired secret ambition?

Mirai should have totally picked a contemporary music for her competition program, she is clearly more ease expressing her charming personality through it. Her demon is still one of my favs.

 

[Ginask8s]

I loved Jasons exhibition. I wish it was his short. You can hear and understand the lyrics . He looked fantastic.

 

[matmuh]

havent watched anyone except Satoko, this was gorgeous, so so great to see her back and her jumps looked better than competition which is great to see because it means her condition is better than i thought
