Keegan backflip over Nam

Lukas was just joined by an ensemble of thebother skaters - and got a lift from Nikita! Just a fun program! Isabeau in angelic white. Lyrical program. Fab Bielman position

Lukas Britschi does the early 90s. Fresh Prince!

Elladj & Elvis just joined them for line dancing

Piper and Paul. I think everyone has seen this cowboy themed program by now

That was lovely! Jason Brown. Banter with Nam. Doing BSB

Super cool lift!

Minerva & Nikita doing When a Man Loves a Woman in sparkly black

Hana Yoshida in very slinky black glitter lace. Skating with real power. Love it.

Patrick just demonstrated that skating skills never leave you. For a man who hasn't performed officially in quite a while, he was in fine form. Even did a triple - looked like a flip? Or Lz - and a 2A. Ilia could learn a few dozen things from him, and should. Lopareva & partner next, doing something science-themed

Patrick Chan in a hockey shirt

Another shirt toss where I got nothing despite being easily the loudest voice in the house.

Yeah, synchro is where it's at! Intermission

Synchronized death spirals?! WOW

Okay, that was very worth watching. Elladj is so expressive, and now that he's completely free of the constraints of 'classic' figure skating, everything he does is just fire 🔥. He has a similar characteristic as Yuzu , of sending his heart out to the audience Les Supremes. Very wow! factor

Elladj starting his program lying flat on the ice.

🤣 okay, now I get it. Cute comedy act.

And Adam brought the house down! Nam asked him what he was thinking, doing the back flip. I honestly do not understand why the Georgian pair got a guest spot. Oh well. Looks very 🥵 IRL, though

Adam! Doing Uptown Funk

Lovely hydroblade from Chaeyeon

These two really understand what a gala program should be - creative, novel, interesting, entertaing. Chaeyeon has only been skating for 7 years?!

...what are Charlene and Marco wearing? A robot program? Interesting

Shoma doing "Come Together". It suits him

Kimmy Repond doing Star Wars. This is a very nerdy quibble, but she's holding her lightsaber by the blade... she should have studied up on sword handling a bit for this

So if you want a perfect example of a PCS- forward skate, check out Yuma's exhibition piece. Nice big Yuma Bauer, gorgeous everything. Simply fab. The Hungarians doing... Austin Powers. Kinda slow paced. Nam also threatened to skate. I wish he would, I miss his exhibition skates.
