女子の公式練習も終了しました。浅田選手は衣装変更。09年のジャパンオープンで披露した「鐘」の衣装に見えるのですが、全く同じものかどうか分かりません。曲かけできれいな3Aを降り、それ以外でも2度ほど着氷。3F＋3Loや2A＋3Tも着氷していました。

there's a change of costume in Rach2! (Adding: it says the new costume looks similar to this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsSpriiexC8)
Landing 3-3, 2-3 outside the 3As!!

Just wondering... is Mao wearing a brand new costume that looks similar to her first Bells costume or is she wearing her first Bells costume? Ms. Lin posted about this on Facebook.

The tweet by Sportsnavi says it's not for sure.

I like the russian commentator. He doesn't twists facts or is being uber biased, and I especially like the way he comments on Mao, but I do wish he'd shut up during the actual skate. He was awful during the pairs today. Comment on stuff before the program starts, and after it's finished, but not in between, unless skaters do something amazing, or terrible. The worst were the pair of commentators (a man and a woman) for pairs at CoC, they were disecting IJS during the freaking programs.  

Do you understand Russsian? I find the Russian commentator talk too much, but I often think it's because Russian language is lengthy and verbose

If I have it right, if you're a chinese athlete, you're parents are the last people who have a say in what you do, or with whom. If you're good enough, you live at the national training centre and you do as you're told. But as I said, this is what I've read over the years, so those who are in the know, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Actually you're right:evil: . Especially in gymnastics, where many gymansts come from a humble background in rural areas, their parents look forward to the opportunity to be called to the national training centres. Even though the training regime is rigorous and there's no guarantee that they'll achieve success, it still poses a better future than working on a farm. The gir's parents definitely had to approve of her going to the training centre and when the officials manage to convince her that she may do well in the future if she pairs with Zhang Hao, then they'll agree with that. The situation is similar in VN. We have a dancesport pair, with the guy being 32 and the girl 18, and they've been training together for 5 years and they're dating  . That's very shocking, but the girl's parents give their consent, so what can we do?
I hope Zhang Hao can tone up a bit. Otherwise his pair looks so much like father-daughter.

Why are the links to the live feeds playing men's SP from yesterday? And who is competing right now?

I think the men's SP hasn't started yet, so they're replaying the SP from yesterday.

Right, it's 30 minutes until men's FP.

  again pearlyriver.

Just want send out positive motivation to Mao and the rest of the ladies to do their best during the FP.

I'm going to bed, as I've lost significant amount of sleep due to my staying up to view the SP competition. Goodnight Mao fans, will chat with you guys in a few hours.

In case anybody needs a good link -

British Eurosport doesn't broadcast Men FP live.

Does the FP for ladies start in two hours?
