Chris, if you are leaving -- nice day to you too, and once again thank you for those videos!

Some elements / gestures reminded me of Aljona and Robin ...

they just made it to first place - congratulations :-)

Ah, the Russians have just won.

still hmmmm, because I personally liked the Chinese performance better ...

Anyway, I am off to bed, I'm too tired :-)

It was lovely again, thanks for sharing!

Cheers
Gudrun.

Jeremy's tweets (‏@jeremyabbottpcf):

Just talked with the physio. I have a compression in my spine that is apparently pushing on the nerves that connect to me legs...
This is causing the muscle to cramp and not fire properly. Thank god because I'm in the best shape of my life and was worried why...
My body felt like it was completely shutting down on me. Wish I had the means to have a trainer with me daily like Takahashi....
Since I don't its back to the drawing board!

On another note thank you all so much for your love and support of what I do. All of you keep me going and push my art to a higher level! <3

Hm, I feel sorry for Jeremy, he seems a little frustrated right now ... I hope he finds a way to cope with it ...

Thanks for the information ilica! :-)

I think it's great to always have your personal off-the-ice trainer with you, but, otoh, many (if not the majority of) skaters can't afford such a trainer, yet they somehow manage.

So I agree with those who think he had better left out Daisuke's name from that tweet of his.

I understand he's disappointed and was overwhelmed with all kinds of emotions at the time. I'd be too.

And thank you for that detailed free programs list, ilica

I agree hsush Jeremy should not have mentioned Dai in his tweet after his controversial
remark about Hanyu in the Icenetwork article. He does not want to come off as sounding like "sour grapes". That said,
I hope he recovers soon because I do like Jeremy's skating a lot.

Anyone else notice that Jeremy looks as if he has added some bulk to his frame.

Thanks to ilica for the videos and the tweet info.

Hsuhs, how do you watch icenetwork from Europe? I thought it was geoblocked for us Europeans.

A very fine good evening to everyone :-))

Don't be too aggrevated about Jeremy, he has a minor crisis, I guess ... just ignore what he said! :-)

hm, my spelling continues to be bad: aggravated is what I meant :-)

Does anybody know where to watch tonight? The feed from this morning does not work for me :-(

ostile, they unblocked it for just one day, so that people from around the world could watch it, that day is over now.

Gudrun, I'm looking for a working link for FD but there seems to be none out there.

They'll show ladies FS live on Eurosport after that.

Ah, I see, so it was only for one day ...

It's a pity that there is no live feed for the free dance :-(

Yes, hsuhs, I saw that the ladies' programmes will be shown on Eurosport Player at 22:14 hours :-) Thank you!
