Nicely done, Kevin!

Kevin's fans! First time I've seen him get banners.

Just watching the men's second group from home! I hope all you satellites in the rink have fun watching these guys - I think I've seen all of them except the Estonian skate live and they're all very exciiting sksters. Fingers crossed that good Camden is here today, not inconsistent heartbreaker Camden. And nobody blink while watching Keegan - he moves sooo fast! Crowds looks very sparse but at least the queues will be short for food and washrooms. Beautiful costume on Levandi!

He's always been a bit heavy on the baseless praise but he was getting carried away a little tonight.

Riku and Ryuichi do this music so much better than M-T/M ever did.

Okay, Ted. Getting a bit fulsome. Shoma's got his good qualities but no need to lay the flattery on with a trowel

Jun's program was absolutely lovely! And completely different from Skate America. Kudos to him. Sota's program was so intense and dramatic. Not what I expected from him at all.

I do like this doll program

Wow! Rock and Roll Kazuki! Nice! ....watching the Gala

Aw, the coach photos...cute! Stephane's definitely proud of Shoma.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I get the distinct impression that training away from home for the past while has given Shoma an appreciation for things he used to take for granted. Like his anthem.

Oh my word, that's so Raf...but same. The first time I ever watched Shoma, at 2018 SCI, I felt like he gave a technical recital of his skills with absolutely zero heart involved, and honestly that feeling has never gone away no matter how many times I watch him. But at least his technique improves over time. Anyway, happy for Jun that he got bronze and at least Sota stayed on the podium. So does Jun get a GP Final berth now, or not?

The audience very much with Sota, though. Loud applause

That's going to be costly. 😬

Oh no!

I know, right? He skated it so beautifully- clean as a whistle, etc - and yet it's bland. He really needs to explore something other than baroque music. Go Sota! 4S light as a feather

Ok Shoma, make it interesting....

... did Adam just YOLO 3F2T after the 3Lz2T went wrong?

Adam hs so much charisma. Definitely a skater worth watching live.

....why'd that 4S go pop? Oh no! Come on, Kazuki sweetie, you got this!

Oh, right. There's wossname - Dudek? Ugh. Would be delighted to never see a Sambo 70 coach rinkside ever again. Go Kazuki!!!

All-black costumes with no sparkle really need to be permanently banned from the men's competition. So plain. Oh, ouch! That fall was nasty

Go Jun! So far so good. Oh Brian liked that 3Lz 2A...could hear him yell ! And the Juna Bauer to finish. Good work, kiddo! Nice to see that Jun's got his jumps back, compared to the past two years

Matteo seems made for Bruno Mars music tbh. Not his best skate, but it'll do.

Not the skate he was looking for, but better than last time
