If you find one - please share - it's more comfortable than the qq one on phone^^

They're back to the Japanese style tech box.

Also, it's right on my timezone, but of course that means it's during work hours. I have the stream (CBC with VPN) set up on my secondary desktop. 

 

Nothing interesting so far.

The ice still looks cracked and dirty, but I think it's smooth enough. 

I get that this is juniors, but seriously they don't deserve this bad of ice. What the h3ll happened?

All the ladies in the next group are wearing... *sigh

3 full-on reddish pink dresses (one with fringe, another with questionable cut) 1 pink/yellow shredded skirt.

My guess, the ice wasn't properly maintained for so long. When they tried to fix it, instead of building it back from the scratch, they just leave the bad ice and layered on top of it. Seemingly without realising that when they use 'good' water, it's transparent and you can see the cracked, dirty layer.

Or something.

I can only listen, but not watch because of work, so I'm safe from dresses, but musical choices are interesting (for Latina) so far (to not jinx it).

It's a multi purpose  venue, so the ice is just for this competition- Arena Armeec - they have concerts and gymnastics competitions etc there.  

Well, it seems I will miss the last group. A meeting.

CHN and JPN pairs aren't going to qualify for the FD, unless 2 to 3 pairs of the last group bomb really really badly.

What does it mean for their spots next year?

Nothing really I think^^ I think all countries get one spot for JWC defaultly and as for the JGP spots - I think they will have 1 entry in 4 events if I take it from how it was last year (DNQ for FD but wfinished 21-25th^^)
