Argh, I missed Wesley too. But at least I fixed my connection and can actually read the graphics on the screen again

Is that his music? Really?

I'm going to have to miss Matteo to fix my internet, i have 0.24 Mbps right now - supposed to have 20

Ow. Did Aleksa just hit his head off the ice? That fall looked bad. Cartwheel looked good.

Aleksa Rakic. I can't tell much of what is going on right now, my stream is suddenly potato quality Sounds like he has quite the fan club there

Liam Kapeikis up next. Skating to The Boxer... not the Simon & Garfunkel version. His 4S let him down but so far the rest is going well

Mark gets better steadily, year over year, but I find his music and choreo choices a bit conventional and meh. Good enough, but nothing stands out. It is nice to watch someone slowly improve though. Full green tech box from him tonight 👍

Dramatic finish from Mikhail. Love it.

Awesome sliding move by Selevko! Wow

Men's free is starting! Link refresher if you need it: https://skatecanada.ca/2023-skate-canada-international/#live-stream (You might need a VPN set to Canada) Or watch on the ISU youtube channel if it's not geoblocked for you

They scored 142.39! They can't believe it. Deanna screamed 🤗 T-shirt toss underway!

Deanna and Max. Looking very vampire. I love the glam red crystal blood motif - and Max's costume surprise! What a twist - she 'turns' him into a vampire mid-program! AND they skated that perfectly! Standing ovation. Yay! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Lucrezia and Matteo with a program from Cats. They do look like cats. In a luxurious way.

Oh, what a lovely delicate program from the Australian pair.... music & costumes are well-matched. Lavender and ruffles on her, pale blue on him. Some struggles, but ended with a gorgeous & intricate pair version of an Ina Bauer

Pavlova & Sviachenko of Hungary, 1st to skate in 2nd group. She's got a great outfit with touches of gold. His doesn't really give the same vibe. Skating smooth and powerful so far! Lovely music Wow! The height on the throw 3Lo! First all-green tech box of the night. Well done!

Brooke & Benjamin... he just fell on the side-by-side 3S combo. That's going to be costly. Gorgeous combo pair spin to end it. This colour combo - terra cotta and blue - does nothing for me. Nam still cheering

I don't know if I would have picked Fleetwood Mac for a skating program, but this Dutch pair are making it work. Looking good in midnight blue

Wow, listen to Nam cheering his guts out! First Canadian team up - Laurin & Ethier . Shaky first combo but lifts and throws are ok. Red & black, gold sparkles. They have room to improve

Just caught up on Maddie's skate real quick - superb!

Okay, I'm back and ready to watch some skating! Today was a busy day...glad I can sit back and relax and watch for a bit.

Jimin is all of us. Also, Yoongi looking exactly like his youngest aunt will never not be funny

I saw it. Watermelon gang are back together! The funniest part was Soobin not twerking. He did his best but I don’t think his hips can move that way

Is that a zombie gingerbreadman with his internal organs showing? 🤣

I have to agree with this, he seems a little bit stuck.

I'm currently watching the Pairs practice stream direct from the Skate Canada website and I'm really enjoying it. First of all, it's very relaxing not being rinkside for Pairs because watching Pairs in person is just terrifying - people sailing through the air all over the place is way more nerve-wracking than you'd think. Secondly, Kristen Moore-Towers and Kaitlyn Weaver are doing a great job of providing in-depth commentary that's giving a lot of insight about skating and athlete life. I'm learning tons. Also, how cool is it that Deanna and Max are doing Interview with the Vampire for their free skate? Such a unique choice!
