The throws were amazing…still weird to see them in a short program though. (am I dating myself?)

Wish that the coverage was not interrupted so many times.

Hate that I have no clue what the new scoring system is…gotta study up I guess!

We need to be on Skype for the long program!

For once it’s not the technical specialist to blame!

Do we really need seven grades of execution? (-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3) I mean, in school, we had five. A B C D and F. I think five should be sufficient.

I know there is usually writing or ads, but these are wild. I like when they just have dark blue boards.
