They'd have a press release to send out too, wouldn't they? They wouldn't just upload it onto their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they shouldn't have spent so much on coffee. All those coffee breaks. I bet there were biscuits, too. I've eaten so many biscuits today. ETA: That's my second double post today on this thread, I'm sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinForPooh Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 At this point, I suggest a drinking game. To be perfectly fair, that's what I usually suggest, I sacrificed my liver to the skating gods in the run up to the Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You win @WinForPooh I am on my third liver. One went post Boston, one pre-Olympics, so I mean sure why not. I believe I'm an old hand at this by now. I might deliver a wonky report or two at the end of working hours but yolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we'd be living too dangerously if we did a shot every time the ISU site didn't load. I wonder what the skaters are doing, waiting. If they haven't actually been told, there must be loads of people sitting around and cursing the ISU a lot more creatively than I am in my head.

Probably already used to it and going about their business because if anyone knows how ISU is, it is them No, but seriously, I mean this is an annual GP party, waiting for the assignments. It wouldn't be the skating season without this! Honestly if they ever deliver something promptly and on time, I am probably going to faint and then feel like the season is doomed. Which is basically what happened last season come to think of it, and the GPAs were early. Huh. Now I get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I missed deadlines like this... They haven't even announced where the mystery GP is going to be. How are they going to assign skaters a mystery GP without telling them where it's going to be?

WinForPooh Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 A shot every time a journalist tweets but it's not about GP assignments. We all saw the harness 4A from Keegan, Jackie! We all saw it! GAHH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor has it in other places that it'll be held in greenland, antarctica, somewhere in the middle of the pacific, and skaters assigned to TBA event will be kidnapped, blindfolded and flown out to the event in the middle of the night, and forced to skate in nothing but what they wore to sleep that day.
