Just opened the Time Schedule for tonight's Senior Men's SP, and I'm afraid Yuki Kunikata is now down as a withdrawal. (He had been due to start at #1)
Incidentally, he was Brian Joubert's only skater in Senior Men. But Brian also has a skater in Junior Men, Jean Medard, and he is lying in 2nd position after their SP earlier on this afternoon.
We now start a Pairs Skating double-bill. A group of 2 Junior partnerships; then a group of 1 Senior partnerships; then a group of 4 Senior partnerships.
Since they are being held back-to-back (and possibly with a combined first group), I will do a combined reminder post.
Livestream for the Pairs SP competitions is now on air.
I honestly don't get what's going on with the Kovalevs. She's basically lost her ability to stay on her feet on the 3T and they're struggling a lot with the throws too.
the other Vauclin, Ian, with a much more retro program to Mambo Italiano, but also a fall on the 3A
just like the others he has a very entertaining step sequence where he really shows the entertainer's side
