Looking forward to the skate off between Liza and Satoko later!

 

[hippomoomin]

Satoko is pretty much guaranteed to win here.
I hope Liza skates better than her LP at SC and gets at least the silver.
I don't expect much from Maria anymore, after her sp, I think her jumps are no longer there. She probably has lost her 3-3, and her other jumps all have shaky landing. I don't know what happened in the summer, but my guess is she lost her motivation. She's been to the Olympics and the Worlds and GRPF; there is almost zero chance that she will go to the next Olympics.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Go Liza and Satoko and Mai!

 

[3dsushi]

Rika can potentially score more than 145+ points. Go Rika! You can dominate.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I just want to see Eunsoo skating clean her FS, if that darling squirtle skates clean and gets a score that she deserves I'll be happy (well, I would be getting out all the booze if she gets on the podium, but I'm trying to keep my expectations low here).

 

[mirai4life]

I'll be cheering for Eun Soo

 

[clippers8200]

Same. If Eunsoo is clean and gets 130+ I will break out all the soju

 

[Noxchild]

Tonight I want Rika's program to make me cry in a good way and not a bad way, because Beautiful Storm indeed lives up to its name, and the camerawork at Nepela was atrocious :dev2: Break a figurative leg!

 

[mirai4life]

It's going to be exciting battle for 3rd. I feel like it's going to be really close in the FS as well.

 

[CoyoteChris]

I will drink to that! :agree:

 

[Noxchild]

My streams have been horrible tonight... hopefully it stabilizes soon.

 

[CoyoteChris]

Off to bed....take good care of my new grand daughters Rika and Eunsoo, and Mai, dont forget to smile! Its gonna take more Margarittas and firewood to get me through the ladies FS tomarrow night. See y'all on the other side!

[rachno2]

Hard to imagine a (feasible) podium that I don't like here. I would be happy with any combination of Satoko, Liza, Mai, Eunsoo, and Rika, as long as Satoko is there. :agree: Of course it depends on how everybody skates!

 

[Danny T]

Excited for the free skate later (well, and nervous, but since when I'm not ) Gonna root for everyone to go clean

Make it a good one, ladies :agree:

 

[GGFan]

Quick question for one of my Korean friends: Why is the "u" in the English transliteration of Eunsoo's name if the "u" is not pronounced? It's pronounced Ensoo right?

She now has to correct every English speaker several times a day

Arrives late afternoon Australian time and oh, a link already provided :agree:

Hey, don't knock it -- it's a conversation starter!

If you have been reading my competition reminder posts from earlier this morning, you will know that all the skating World Feed streams for today have disappeared from the Eurosport Player.

However, thankfully this is the start of the stuff that is being shown on the TV.

Here is the link for the ISU livestream on the Eurovision Sports website:
https://www.eurovisionsports.tv/isu/single-pair-skating-ice-dance/live.html?id=2419

Here is the link for the World Feed coverage on the British Eurosport Player:

And here is the link for the archived British Eurosport 2 coverage on the Player (starts at 15m 15s. WATTS Wintersports special at start. Pairs FS highlights starts at 2h 12m 40s):
