Sat. 3:00 Pairs Free and Dance Free

Sat. 8:00 Ladies Free

Sun. 4:00 Mens Free

Sat., Jan. 30th 4:00 Exhibition

All on NBC.

Enjoy!

I LOVE figure skating. Unfortunately they don't show anything here on German TV *sighs*
Happy weekend, my friend!

I wonder if the TV coverage is available on YouTube and would play in Germany. The ice dancers were stunning.

I watched it on youtube, dear god! The Shibutani's are amazing, what a gracefulness...

Yes, they were wonderful. The couple who got second place were gorgeous skaters, too. I'm glad you were able to find the event on YouTube.

I'll be watching as much as I can!

Great. I hope you and shiremom enjoy it. The ice dancers this afternoon were stunning. I'm curious to see if 17-year-old Paulina Edwards beats Tracy Gold and Ashley Wagner tonight. Her short program was amazing.

I watched and enjoyed the Ladies' Long Programs last night. I won't say more in case you haven't seen it yet. Hoping to watch as much of the Men's as possible, but I might not be home much today.

Some of the outfits (including the Men's) are so gorgeous this year!

I've seen it all now except the exhibition which is on Sat., Jan. 30. I agree that the costumes are gorgeous, but the women's sure have become very skimpy.

I liked that Tara and Johnny did so much explaining about the scoring. It's very helpful. I was very happy for Gracie, but I thought for sure Polina was going to win.

I thought the quad jumps were amazing, but I like the ice dancing best. It's so beautiful and not just about how many jumps the skaters can fit into a routine.

Oh no! I hate when a show I want to see gets obliterated by updates on something. I hope you get to see some of it at least. The ice dancers this afternoon were stunning. I don't care much for pairs. I prefer beautiful skating, not all the trick stuff.

I live it, too, but we're having another open house today.
Hugs,
