2018 US Championships Sr. Ladies FS

[WeirwoodTreeHugger]

If it starts at 3:45, when do you think it'd be over by?
My free time ends at 6 at the latest...

I'm in the US central time zone and my channel guide says it's live and on until 10. So, I'm thinking it will end 7:45 or 8 Pacific time?

ETA: Ninja'd!

OMG! I can't wait to watch Polina skate on Bilitis. The first and last skater I watched skating on this music is Denise Bielmann. I loved the music so much, I watched Bilitis (movie) on youtube, and bought all Francis Lai's music CDs. He is the guy behind Love story classic tune, and a few other movies with beautiful music.

I feel like I have radar when it comes to Maria......You mention her name and I will be there.....

Is someone skating to Scene D' Amour???

 

[scoty]

Is the team being named tonight?

 

[NoNameFace]

It starts just as I get home I'm ready for the drama (but not for the tears )

Exactly my sentiments, thank You for voicing it
Same was for me with Japanese Nationals, and there was one slot less... I do plan to stay awake and watch (it will start in Poland at 00.45 am, mild drama I'd say, but we have a public holiday tomorrow, so I feel justified for staying up at night), hoping for all Ladies to bring out the very best of them!

I absolutely LOVED this program. Everything about it was magical.

I am equal parts nervous and excited for the ladies free. Hopefully the skaters do their best and give it their all, the judges and tech specialists mark accordingly, and then we let the proverbial chips fall as they may for the Olympic team selection.

Disclaimer: I suppose I should say: “mark accordingly for a typically inflated national championship, but if they’re going to inflate, keep it consistent”. Amirite?!

Hello, yes - if they are going to pour champagne, give them all a shower

I hope there will be a YouTube livestream so I will be able to watch ALL FPs instead of NBC being greedy and showing people replays of SPs in place of other skaters that deserve to have their time to shine.

Is there any commentary on the Youtube stream?

Is there any commentary on the Youtube stream?

I am not sure to be honest... During GP season, YT stream had either no commentary or a broadcast from Russian ESP

 

[SarahSynchro]

I’m hoping we have a stream that doesn’t crap out on us for the final group, unlike last night for the men’s short.

After what happened with the You Tube stream last night, do you think any effort will be made to try to show this on You Tube tonight?

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (1/3/2018) — Polina Edmunds and Ashley Lin have withdrawn from the 2018 Prudential U.S. Figure Skating Championships. The championship ladies free skate is scheduled for 3:45 p.m. (PST) today at SAP Center in San Jose, California. They were in seventh and 21st place after the short program, respectively.

 

[Icey]

After all of Polina's recovery work, and , then , to have to withdraw.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Not surprising but it’s understandable. We still love ya Polina!!

Why did Polina withdraw? She skated just fine in the short. Did she get the flu as well?
