SA's ladies event sounds awesome. Anyone watching with me? http://streamking.co/hdsport

I'm so excited, the GP season is finally here! cheers

The only thing that is spoiling it for me, and is causing me some meltdowns is lack of live streams. Stupid ISU (geoblocked) stream is not working with hola, no matter which country I "visit" and sportbox is also not streaming. Frustrated

I hope they're only boycoting SA and will be back for the rest of GP. Worship

I loved their streaming last season.

@I-spiralmao, yes I'm watching on this link, but the stream was legging during pairs, so I hope it'll work during ladies. pale

I don't watch pairs, but the stream seems fine. Go everyone! Cloud 9

Nakashio had a beautiful 3t-3t, but she needs to work on her spins. They were not good. I wish ISU would forbid Mambo, Carmen and POTO for at least one season. I'm so sick of it.

Triple Loop Posts : 761 Join date : 2012-11-25 Age : 24

I was expecting Nakashio to be a witch, and Mariah Bell's SP is awesome. Rockstar

Shame about the fall...

Of course my stream freezes just when So-Youn is about to skate, so I missed her whole program. Very Mad

Edit: only 25 in PCS? This is very low. scratch

Same here. Evil or Very Mad

Karen Chen was awesome though. Encore

Really love Tursynbaeva. Love Hearts

I know she's only 15, but she needs to put on some muscle/weight. She looks scary thin. The same for Medvedeva.

Yulia, WTH is this costume?! Whirly

Triple Loop Posts : 761 Join date : 2012-11-25 Age : 24

I actually kind of like her dress? Although this is because I've started becoming more of a fan of her... and I like Elizabet as well. Wub

My stream keeps freezing. Depressed Crying

Triple Loop Posts : 761 Join date : 2012-11-25 Age : 24

Zhenia was enjoyable. I feel like she was a bit overscored, but that's just me...

Dedicated Mao Fan Posts : 3545 Join date : 2011-04-29

A bit overscored? She was scored very generously, IMO. Razz

My stream is not very good but Yulia's jumps looked UR'ed and her SP a bit messy.

Dedicated Mao Fan Posts : 3545 Join date : 2011-04-29

Ugh, will Gracie ever be able to skate clean in a international competition...

Triple Loop Posts : 761 Join date : 2012-11-25 Age : 24

Well, this is the first program of hers in about 3 years that I liked. And Satoko was awesome. Rockstar

Dedicated Mao Fan Posts : 3545 Join date : 2011-04-29

If only Satoko would have higher jumps, her score would be huge. Her consistency is insane. Hopefully she' ll be able to somehow correct that.
Crap, she's been hit with UR's. Crying or Very sad

Also, Mariah Bell's SP music is really fun to listen to.

While Shoma's SP is not my cup of tea, I absolutely love his skating. Such a shame for a fall, but other than that he was great. I could watch him skate for hours. He reminds me a bit of Daisuke, can't wait to see what he'll bring later in the season. I think it's safe to say that men's team for Boston is going to be Yuzu and Shoma.
Back to SA, in what universe are Shoma's and Max's skating skills on the same level?! Seriously, judges... Rolling Eyes

Dedicated Mao Fan Posts : 3545 Join date : 2011-04-29

And I know Jason Brown is super popular, but honestly, I find his behaviour annoying. He'll be 20 soon and still behaves like he's 12. Tone it down please. Just IMO.

And hopefully Denis will fix whatever is bothering him. It's such a shame seeing him mess up. Is he injured? pale

I can't wait for today's LP. Hopefully the stream will be working without problems. Worship

Triple Loop Posts : 761 Join date : 2012-11-25 Age : 24

I slept through all of the men, zarina. After watching videos...

D10 has a nice program, and I'm guessing that he's not an early season skater (yes, he is injured, zarina...), Brown's FS this season is awesome, Shoma had my favorite program, Han Yan was good too, Mura is very handsome, Menshov is probably my favorite currently-competing Russian senior man, and Aaron still bores me.

If I'm not mistaken Denis WD from his first competition this season(don't remember what competition exactly,b-level I guess) because of injury. So yeah. I think he's still injured, so didn't expect him to skate well.
Gracie is killing me, she was the best yersterday if not that stupid flip Disappointed

And what's the point? She has wrong edge on it, she was fine with triple loop before.

Ladies FS is right now. Here's a stream: http://streamking.co/hdsport

Hay polosatik, long time no see! Very Happy

This really sucks for Denis. He seems to constantly have health related issues. Depressed Crying

I trully hope he'll be healthy at worlds.

And I really don't get Frank. Why give Gracie 3F in SP, when she clearly has issues with it. Let her do a gorgeous and clean 3Lo instead. It's worth only 0.2 point less than flip, but the GOE she would receive on it... she would've broken 71 with it. I don't get it, it's not rocket science, so what the heck are Gracie and her team thinking?

Ugh, I don't know what was wrong today, but my stream was mostly dead. Frustrated

Sportbox please come back! Worship

They had the best streaming last season, apart from hola resisting ISU stream. I've literally tried every freaking country and I'm still geoblocked. Bawling

I've seen that Gracie got 68 in PCS and Zhenya 67. Shocked

Honestly, if these two receive close to 70 for their skating, than the judges better give Mao 72+ at CoC. Of course, they won't do that. Frustrated

Triple Loop Posts : 761 Join date : 2012-11-25 Age : 24

I missed the last three ladies because I had to eat dinner and my stream died during Karen, Alaine, Elizabet, and Haruka... so out of everyone I did see, I liked Mariah, SY, and Julia (except her jumps.)
