Great performance by Team Koko!! And Uncle Kenji loved their skating - said he was moved.

Mark Hanretty - ex ice dancer

OK I’m upset. How can they score BELOW M/T?? 
 

i guess the Olympic team is already cooked up. We know what this means. JSF wants their favorite to be selected. 

So neat to listen to these American blues songs being sung with a Ukrainian accent...another team that really gets the 'Midnight Blues' concept

I think it's just that horrid woman who is obsessed with Daisuke again. The one who ran the Tokyo games. Hachimoto?

I could swear the man's from Cork. Hanratty isn't a Scottish name per se...

Hashimoto. Yes she was the former President of JSF and Olympic minister. The one who likes to put down Yuzu.

Yes. Wouldn't be surprised if she's yanking the strings

Yes I just checked it out. Says he's from Glasgow. My ears are just tricking me. He really sounds Irish. 

Go Zach and Marjoie!

That was a great skate! 

 

And the marks to prove it - 74 points for L/L. Nice! 

I like Olivia & Adrian better...don't know why, but H/K leave me cold...

I’ve switched to ISU stream since Hanretty is commentating.
