Especially rooting for Boyang, Ross, Yorik, Kaori, Gabrielle, Shibs and Meagan/Eric.

 

And Anna, please, please do well

That's really Skate America's poster!? That's so... dramatic. But nothing beats Japanese fluff pieces. 

I cheer for Boyang and the Shibbs!  I can't believe that the GP series are almost over ... 

From the Skate America FB page.

This is gonna be at an impossible time zone for me. Sigh.

do we know what times the events are at?

i'm not good with time zones so i'm trying to work out what times the events will be on and if i can watch livestream or not...

 

Check the calendar on the forum, it shows every events in your timezone. Or the time and practice schedule which Yata posted in her second post in the thread.

 

I shall miss everything but the gala - going to my parents, a resolutely internet free zone.  Hope Boyang has a good skate

Oh Anna. Have a swift recovery (hopefully) in time for Russian Nationals

Anna... 

I hope she recovers well and swiftly so we can see her competing soon again.

Do we get to see the coach too? 

Saddened about the Anna WD news, but to be honest? I saw her FS live in Helsinki, and I hoped to never witness something like that again. Then at her GP... more pain and suffering. I am glad she is spared that now, and I am selfishly glad to be spared that sight, too, even on telly.

 

Sakhanovich is a good replacement!
