Daisuke deserves huge kudos for getting strong enough to handle those lifts. He struggled so much in the beginning. Crowd did NOT like that score.

KanaDai is up!

All right who's watching ice dance? Carolane & Shane having twizzle trouble again today

Ilia annoyed me because: this afternoon when he did his runthrough in practice, he didn't do the 4A, but he was a lot sharper on all the other things, like the ChSq and so on. Then tonight he does the 4A, but all the rest of the program goes to pot...argh argh argh. As for his lutz, I didn't catch it fully but it looked decent

And that concludes our evening's splatfest, ladies and gentlemen... Did any of the men go clean? Happy for Jun!

Grassl somehow always on the verge of disaster

Yes, yes it is

I really have to give up watching Roman. My heart can't take the strain. ...and so that's what a 4A looks like. Ok.

Roman next, Grassl after Malinin Not Sena's night either.

Liam's jump axes give me heart attacks and it looks like Selevko's luck has deserted him. All I ask now is for Roman and Jun to have a goooood night. Am I asking too much?

Ah God... poor Donovan. It started so well... Not too bad a job from Wesley though

He actually did a decent job of YOLOing the layout and saving the program. And he is very charming. Dinh shows potential

PCS = Preferred Competitor Score 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

What. The. Freaking. HeLL. Kinda judging is this?!!!! No fricking WAY Knierim & Fraser were better than Deanna & Maxim. Like .....🤪 F*CK THE USFSA

Really nice skate by the Canadian pair!

It looks great rinkside. Maybe doesn't translate well on TV? Also, once again with the weird-ass scores...Isabeau was very delightful but I would have put Haien above her. Kaori obviously wasn't happy with her skate even before the scores but she still merited 1st place IMO. But the score itself? Yoyr guess is as good as mine

Katia is simply delightful to watch!

Kaori looking powerful as she should

Everyone wants a dress llike Ahsun Yun's. So pretty!

Suddenly the crowd got busier. Huge influx of people coming in for women's SP.

I can't understand the 79 and the 82. I'm not quibbling with the placements but man I do not understand ice dance scoring

So Shane & Carolane missed on the end of their twizzles - she rotated one more time than him 😬 Audience did not like the scores

KanaDai just did a fabulous job! They were practicing that lift so hard on Thursday

I hope everyone's watching....lots of fun in the ice dance programs today!

Honestly all the skating was excellent. The only flaws were the flubbed jumps. I haven't seen such an across-the-board good-at-skating skills group of men in a long time.
