  1. Well Sota is not as good in the FS .... as least he wasn't at IDF. Beautiful skater. His gala exhibition piece is brilliant too. Kazuki just needs to pull it all together. He's sheer joy on Ice. Hoping he'll do well in the FS. Adam for Gold all the way from me though.
  2. He was marvellous at IDF. Absolutely adore his programmes and so need to see him at Torino.
  3. I'm heading over now. Will see where I sit today. Yesterday was def not as cold as practice day. More warm bodies.
  4. Was practice better than the first day practice? Hope so.
  5. Missing this morning's practice as I got home last night so tired and cold. I just hit the bed and crashed. Will be there for competition.
  6. Not a blow by blow description below. Missed lots as busy chatting at the very front of the rink (no glass). Flipping shivered all the way through practices though. Two sets of school children in attendance waving Union Jack's and clapping and chanting. Nice how lots of the skaters went to them to bow. Men: Good practice in the main for the Japanese boys especially Shun and a very happy Koshiro. Dennis had jump issues and kept popping but after a short contemplation at the rink side manged to finally get his jump OK. His spins were really amazing ... so centered. Tomoki really lovely timing in one of his spins during his music time. Chef's kiss. Some pops in general skate. Morisi hit and miss. Some pops/spin outs. Graham. Developing nicely and gaining good experience. Was happy to pose for picture with me. Very down to earth pleasant bloke. Wished him good luck. Ladies: Anastasia Gubanova. Really like her. Lovey posture and great practice. Mai. Fab practice and the flow out of her jumps is wonderful. Young. Not great for her sadly. Pop and a few falls. Ekaterina. Missed lots of her set when her music played but what she did was very good. Julia. Rather nice and quite impressed me. Alexia. Not at practice. No reason given so hopefully she's OK. Isabeau. Cheered on massively by the crowd sat behind us. Bradie. Beautiful gloved dress in turquoise, purple and yellow. Softer look and not as severe as her usual style. Didn't recognise her at first. Fell in general practice though. Pairs: The favourites. Knierim/Frazier. Extremely confident practice both in their music and gen practice. Well on form. Metelkina/Parkman. Beautiful horizontal hold at start and finish of programme. Nice set. She fell. Roscher/Schuster. He has a really lovely leg up entry into her death spiral. Fall on individual side by side jumps. Vaipan-Law/Digby. Waved my British flag like crazy. Lots of local support for them. Good experience gained. Dance: Fear and Gibson. Happy to wave at us looked relaxed and confident. Good set. Boy does he spin her around. Lajoie/Lagha. Nice energy from them. Beautiful heavily gold encrusted brown dress. Looked stunning in person. No queues for the toilets and good food in the cafe. All staff extremely friendly. Good start Sheffield.
  7. Sorry I am sitting front row of block 7. As could get close. Orange polo. Blue jacket.. Missed you. I'm there now.
  8. Don't go there with the rail strike. I had to swap my return leg to London from Paris to the next day ... then they cancelled the strike. I'm in Block 7 Row D Seat 19 if you want to come say hello or maybe catch a coffee in the break. I'm already up in Sheffield and staying with my sister. Have a safe journey over. 😊
  9. On the train back for the last leg of my journey home from Angers. One day to repack and then I shall be on my way to Sheffield. Anyone else going?
  10. Hope it's something he recovers from quickly.
  11. Rough practice for Kazuki in his music run through but he seemed to land the jumps outside of it. Highlight of today he signed my event log and I got a lovely picture. He's adorable. Adam. I just love his sets. Initial pose and start moves are so sharp. Beautiful to watch. Exciting Arabians towards the end. Sihyeong just gets better and better. His body shape makes for some stunning lines. I enjoyed watching him very much. Mae seems to be still struggling with her injury but in between jumps really lovely and looks like she put a lot of effort into her expressiveness which has much improved. Mana had a couple of hard flat falls both in the same place. Haein was gorgeous and Yelim attacks her programme big time. In the absence of Peng and Jin? Deanna and Maxime plus Rebecca and Filippo impressed. Filippo singing along as he skated. In the Dance I loved Molly and Dimitre the Gloria Estefan music really suited them and got you tapping your feet. Loicia and Theo were good too.
  12. Packing my bags today for France. Adam all the way for me with a side order of Kazuki. Anyone else planning to go?
  13. Believe Skate Canada website will live stream and the ISU's Skating chanel, however, seen nothing about practices.
  14. Oh Roman...BTS'ed to bits moves 'n all....no jumps.
  15. Heard they are now alternating (from now on) between N American Challenger and Canadian. This year Lake Placid next year back to Canada.
