I totally forgot to mention that the lady announcer at the venue sets new standards when it comes to butchering skaters names 
hilarious! I don't even remember what exactly she called Yuzuru. Yuzuru Genja or whatever, I have NO idea, it wasn't even close to being close! 
everyone around us just burst into laughter because every other name was total gibberish!

This thread is awesome. Would love to be in Barcelona, you guys certainly seem to have fun. Cherryy, thank you for your report. I admit I'm also the most curious about Shoma. I just rewatched TEB short and it felt a bit slow to me, but I'm not sure if that was just the camera. How is Shoma, compared to the other top guys, when it comes to speed? Still more juniorish or can he keep up with the big guns? And why are you so impressed with him? Would love to read your thoughts.
Yes I was going on the above practice report but also on him not being consistent with the short yet this season. If he hasn't gotten some of the problems fixed by now he may be in trouble. He could dig himself a big big hole with the short and not be able to climb out - not against this bunch of skaters.

Thank You So Much!!!! I love Patrick Chan......He looks gooooooood!!!
... Where is Gracie and Elena's videoosss ??Well, he certainly is slower than Patrick and Yuzu, but I was still impressed with the speed he is able to achieve. Frankly I didn't see that much of a difference between him and Javi, but that doesn't mean there is none. It's just certainly not that glaringly obvious and I might not be the best observer. He definitely doesn't look juniorish in the way he moves, he actually looks more polished than both Boyang and Murakami.
I was so impressed because he seemed to be the only skater putting everything on the ice. What I'm trying to say is that he didn't take as many breaks, did jump after jump, all clean, certainly wasn't easy on himself. Also, these two falls were so sweet and funny, you should've seen it
. Another thought, though this might be more of my overanalyzing, but sometimes you see skaters looking at how the others are doing. Well, Shoma seemed to be concentrated only on how his practice was going and what he was supposed to do, not whether others were delvering it or not.
+ as for Scimeca/Knierim, they had a good practice. Alexa was the person with the widest smile in the whole arena, she was trying to put as much emotion into their skating as possible.
lol i did. I snatched a picture of him then diligently went back to my seat to finish watching the couple finishtheir skate
. I hope you will post the video, i was very amused myself before i let the fangirl in me take over xD

My question exactly....
Hi everyone!!!
Thank you so much for all the wonderful reports! I'll be attending the competition live and will try to write my thoughts just like I did last year. It took a lot of time but I really enjoyed writing my reports for you. Being able to attend a live event is great but being able to share it with other fans is even better. Sooo....expect long long posts from me starting tomorrow evening!
Unfortunately I won't be able to attend practices and only juniors on Saturday, but of course I'll watch all the senior events. It's great to have a competition being held in your city, but of course you have to carry on with your normal life :sad4:. I would love to attend EVERYTHING but it's not possible for me.
Some questions...it's my first time watching Mao live and I'm a big big fan. How is she looking in person? I've heard she's not very fast but moves very softly and easily. Is she looking good? How does she compare to others skaters (for instance Lena and Zhenya whom I've already seen live)? Thanksss

Oh that's just someone's wishful thinking. Reports are fun but practices don't count. It's always what happens on that slippery ice at the right time that matters.

If Boyang managed it, he will not have any problem, he's already miles ahead of him in terms of presentation. However, he doesn't have the Super Weapon (4Lz)
Thank you so much for the reports to everyone who is attending the event! :hap85: Glad to hear Evgenia and Satoko are doing well. And from the pictures Shoma's face when he fell was just so cute.
So, if Javier did a 4T on his SP runthrough, does that mean he is also adding the second quad? Or perhaps he switched quads since it's been looking better than his 4S?
