2022 NHK Trophy: Info and Pre-game Chat

[CoyoteChris]

Thanks to our wonderful forum member tsuyoboogie, I now know I would go crazy trying to watch all the participants at Japan Novice nats.
So up to watch NHK.....what were you doing at 11 years old?

Thanks for the time conventor (also all the earlier conventors too, but this time I can watch comps from time zone which differs from European). The earliest comp. starts about 5 a.m my country's time, not bad as I am usually an "early bird". Lay off from work on Fridays, but no problems to know what do.

I am so excited! Just signed up for NHK On Demand (unfortunately, the whole site seems to be Japanese only) using my VPN set to Japan. The time difference is only +4hrs for me, but it can mean late nights, which doesn't work too well when you have dogs, so I might watch some of it live and some of it on demand. I want to watch everything, but especially men and ice dance (and in fact pairs and women....lol)

Have a feeling Green and Parsons will make a big leap here form their 1st event and place 2nd. They are currently looking like USA # 3 and as such will be going to worlds so they need to score well to put them solidly in the top 10 for worlds. 2nd place here would put them ahead of FB/S and will put them ahead of LaLa in the GP standings.

Thanks! I wanted to make my avatar Michael Scarn on ice skates, but I either can't make an avatar yet or haven't figured out how.

And stuff like this isn't work for me. I'm very analytical, and I do this kind of thing all the time when watching sports, even when I'm not posting on a forum. 538 is my go-to place for reading about sports; too bad they don't have more figure skating coverage.

To introduce myself, I'm kind of a casual fan who didn't follow skating in non-Olympic years until recently. I follow women's and sometimes men's. Pairs is OK but not my thing, and ice dancing is maybe my least favorite Winter Olympic event (but to each their own). I started lurking here back in the spring when I was looking for info about the doping scandal.

I believe you would have to upload an image to use as your avatar from your profile page. Whether you create that image yourself or download it from the internet is up to you.

As a fan of men's events, would it be possible for you to create a similar table for the men?

I also started out as a casual fan, only watching events when they were on TV (though this occurred even in non-Olympic years) until the men's event at the 2018 Olympics made me want to go see a live skating event (the post-Olympic 2018 Grand Prix Final) and I somehow ended up here eventually.

I thought this was me after 5 events this weekend!!!
Skate Japan should be a walk in the park for us west coasters after the last four days.....

Hooray!

Welcome! I admit I had to look up Michael Scarn. (yes I live 60 miles from Scranton. No, I have never watched the most famous show set in Scranton.)

You need ten posts to upload an avatar, the information is here:

FB/S have been looking strong so far this season though, and Michael and Caroline haven’t been as solid as they were this time last season (which is totally understandable since they’re in a new coaching situation). I think it would take mistakes from the CanaDanes for them to swap places this week, though that is not impossible. I’m actually wondering if Chock/Bates are within reach— after Skate America they need a commanding performance here to solidify themselves against the Italians at GPF and potentially also against Hawayek/Baker who nearly caught them for the very first time.

I also think R/A are not to be counted out for bronze here.

Thanks! My bad. I stupidly thought NBC would put events in chronological order. I used a time zone converter to make sure. I put numbers by events to show their true order.
My only defense is I can not print out the color time sheet you referenced. I have now found an adjustment to let me do that.

Go World!

So sad that I cannot join you all in Japan tonight, too many sick people. Code Red/Black again!.
However, I expect to join you tomorrow night.

Here you go. I think this looks right.

Oh boo. I have a soft spot for Hocke and Kunkel, and thought they were finally getting it together, after a difficult couple of years.

Good morning
I am on the train heading for Sendai airport to catch a plane to Sapporo.
Watching NHK trophy in person is one of my childhood dreams, so I am more than excited
