The tempo of the Gala has really slowed down since Wakaba. Even Yuma's encore.
Will Kaori pick it up again?

I always wonder if someone famous is under those mascot costumes.
Like image Oda under there.
And a non-commentary stream while you’re at it, for those of us who cringe every time commentators open their mouth!Please read this, ISU!!! Get the band back together!!!

Not really the time for anything other than toned down behavior.It was not the usual lively finale that we are used to getting, but what we did get was beautiful. Beautiful music, beautiful choreography, beautiful skating.
And when the mascots came on towards the end, they toned down their behaviour as well.
They didn’t even enable rewind during live stream option on YouTube, the option to shut off Simon Reed for the duration is beyond them. If they could at least train him to stop opening his mouth during the skating. He is the whole next level in annoying and contributes nothing useful whatsoever.As I have said many times during this year's Senior GP Series, the Eurosport Player has previously had the capability to have multiple soundtracks, and you would think that YouTube could work out how to do it. So, why do neither of these services provide this option to us?!
If they did, everybody would have the option to listen to what they want, and therefore the ISU wouldn't have to listen to people complaining!
Oh, wait. I forgot. This is the ISU we are talking about. They don't care about what the fans want.

I started watching about 20 minutes after the stream started, and I was able to move around within the video (to the start of the video, to the start of the skating, and to skip the intermission). I don't know why you couldn't and I could!They didn’t even enable rewind during live stream option on YouTube, the option to shut off Simon Reed for the duration is beyond them.

It might have depended on the day. I was watching on the day of short programs, and I couldn’t go back to the start. I just watched ladies first to wait till the men’s skate is over. Buffering during the livestream is an option that the source has to enable to be able to rewind.I started watching about 20 minutes after the stream started, and I was able to move around within the video (to the start of the video, to the start of the skating, and to skip the intermission).
