Thanks for sharing the impressions you had and the information💜. So, just want to add something to the PCS. Not sure during which event it was (could have been ladies free skate), but our commentator explained quite frankly the two mostly known and a not so known facts about pcs. 1) if one is not an established top skater, skating in the first groups will give automaticly a lesser pc score. It's sadly a fact and everyone knows it. 2) The judges seem not be able to seperate tec score from component score/skating skills. A fall or mistake should only be reflected in the tec score and not influence the pcs. Sadly, most of the time they can't seperate it. Most who follow figure skating know about this. 3) And a maybe not so known point, he said it's an open secret in the scene, that pc scores are the ones backstage deals are made over. Cause it's the easiest score to "influence".....

My thoughts to that yesterday: He probably calculated it pefore and came to the conclusion that he can risk it if he otherwise skated clean. Chances of a medyl wear near none, cause how high are the chances that four of the top man will have not such a great day..... After seeing the results this morning: Adam, are you crazy😱!!! Get rid off this backflip. Imagin if you missed the podium by these two stupid points!😂🙈 Man is this was such a pleasant surprise. And then I looked at the overall placement and was like......do I really want to watch the official replay today😅. Jun, Roman, Shoma.....🙈 Of course only he knows, but my guess: he would approve and find it cool😎

Mikhail, sadly not his best performance....still like his camina burana program a lot. Ok, off to bed😴. Will watch the rest later. Already curious who will have won then....

Donovan's mistakes where a bit unfortunate, but still a joy to watch. Love his costum.

Revenge skate Adam slayed so hard, wow .....he burned the ice down and blew the roof off the arena. and is the fine for the backflip -2? Or did he earn another minus for something else?

Sooo.....question: Do you think the judges play rock paper scissor for the middle seats? They get quite a lot of "visits" from skaters nowadays, so to say😉.

Lucs Charly Chaplin program is quite wild😅.....but fun to watch.

I watched the last group of the ladies earlier. Loena looked like she wasn't "there". Of course one will be focused, but that was nearly robotic, her face was like a stature. I feel quite sad for her how her free went, normally she is such a presense on the ice, but yeah.....sadly no medal for her. Kaori, she certainly gave it her all and I'm happy for her. Isabeau(?), her program doesn't catch me (she did great with it, just not my thing), but I see where she can go. She is 17, if I remember right, so looking forward to what she will give us in the future.

Setting vpn to south africa works😁. But as I'm quite tired, I will watch most of the mens event tomorrow in the official replay stream.

Hey, none of that! You're not ruining anything for anyone!!! The information is still getting shared, so everything is fine💜

Just watched the final group in replay. So much respect for Deanna, what a figure skating story. Rumor has it she was close to a panic attack before skating, didn't want to go on the ice cause the pressure was to much and then she did this! Regarding the program: It's not my favorite, but the one from Riku and Ryuichi isn't as well🤷🏼‍♀️. But I just noticed that the japanese pair is one of the few where I watch him more. Normally its the woman that shines and catches the eye. With these two, it's him. He is alright. Collapsed in the backstage area with a caughing fit, got an infusion and some medical treatment and got back on his feet after a short time. Must have been really scary though. But most important that he is ok.

The whole Interview. Military Talk:

Ok, looks like if you click on the results page under free skate, it will show only who one the free skate,but not the whole competition (i thought they summed it up there). If you click on results right next to pairs, it shows that the canadian pair won. So, congrats to Canada. Will certainly remember this, to not get confused in the future😅 http://www.isuresults.com/results/season2324/wc2024/CAT003RS.htm

Huh, I have Japan at first place, Canada second? http://www.isuresults.com/results/season2324/wc2024/SEG006.htm And wow, Ger. at 3rd and 5ths place. It still surprises me.

Seeing Jason sitting at 4th place is so incredible satisfying😁.

Gosh, Adam nearly doing a Boyang😱. So sad, he is such a great skater, but yeah.....clearly not his day😔

Well done Shoma. I really didn't like his short program at the start of the season, but now I kind of appreciate it.

Ilia really has improved. But our commentator also thinks his component score is way to high and is angry that the judges just can't seem to separate a good technique from the component score....

Damn.....everything else was great. I think he rushed the combo jump? And the fall looked like it hurt quite a bit....

Nooo.....Jun....

Poor Kao......the missed combination always hurts so much.....

That was fire Yuma certainly delivered and threw his glove in the rink💪.

Oh my gosh......did Deniss really just got all his jumps😳? Without any mistakes!!! Please do it again in the free, Deniss.

Nikolajs program didn't catch me, but how he can move his 195cm body is really amazing.

But not that bad..... Mikhail hadn't his best day.....and I'm kind of still in love with Aleksandrs program😅...
