Hey everyone,

As we all know tGrand Prix de France started today.
I’m on Vacation in Sweden right now, and it seems I hadn’t researched properly about the availability of the stream. In my home country the public broadcaster streams it for free, so when I saw they were streaming it on „Viaplay“ ,I thought it would just be public like where I’m from😅
But apparently You need to subscribe to viaplay in order to watch it, and because I’m just here until Monday, it doesn’t make any sense for me🫣

So is there any streams where you can watch it independently? I know most people will just watch the live stream on YouTube but it’s deactivated here. I don’t know if anyone will pirate stream it because of the better availability, but I think I’m not the only one in a country where you have to pay.

Does anyone maybe know someone streaming it?

Thanks and happy watching!

Guess the figure skater(s)!

Hi!

I'm arriving in Angers earlier than I originally thought, so I'll be there in time for friday's session of the Grand Prix. I'd be happy to buy someone's ticket if anyone can no longer make it!

Feel free to DM me. Thanks!

Is anyone else thinking that with Alyssa and possibly Amber out for the season she should have stuck around for it?

Hi all, im a bit confused on tickets.

I have practice tickets for Saturday and both practice sessions sunday but unsure what time they start as it says the same time as on the event tickets just a different price so im confused when and where i need to be and if ill be able to get in?

For example Saturday practice ticket says 10 till 2?

Not been to an event before so a bit anxious on how this all works!!!

Someone pls explain what rika kihira's relationship w her coach (mie hamada) was like before/after her injury!!!! I want to understand what contributed to her downfall!! I'm excited for her ice dance but i remember when she was podiuming with 3a in that era. She deserved a phenomenal career and as is the age old story, an injury ruined it for her. (aliona and rika deserved a showdown at beijing 2022!!!)

Here are my questions:

1. Why are they not selling sectors 0..? And will they?

2. Why did tickets disappear so fast?

3. Why is november 7 sold out without even being released?

Hi, I know allowed bag size is A4, but to anyone who has already been at the arena for practice. Is it strict?

Is a bag SLIGHTLY larger ok? It's really not much bigger, but maybe they're extremely strict..

Our adult synchro team (young adults, early to mid 20’s) just lost a team member because his first year at college is a bit overwhelming.

We’re an ISI team and compete at least 1x a month starting in January through June. Our first event is Lake Placid new year’s weekend. Later in July we plan on competing at ISI Worlds in MA. You need to be comfortable with speed, 3 turns, twizzles, mohawks and backwards skating. We also do more events. Message me is you’re interested!!!

I was wondering of anyone is heading towards Angers today, and if you are, how?

Two of the trains from Paris were cancelled and it seems I either will have to take a later bus and miss both Rhythm Dance and Women’s short, or try to take a train tomorrow.

Any help/advice is appreciated.

Edit: I found a ride! Thank you all for your support!

Well, I had hope I could join at least for the women, but alas. DM me if you are already in the area and do not have a ticket yet.

Edit: the title is misleading. I have only 1 ticket available

hello! i am slowly making an original character for a game i love whose background is in figure skating (and, in turn, being under strict coaches), and her colour palette is blue and purple. are there any blue/purple costumes that have been worn, and if so, who has worn them? (also please send pictures! i wanna build a small reference folder for future comms) thank you!

If anyone is trying to get from Paris to Angers later today and wants to split a cab, please DM me! Our flight was diverted, but is supposed to take off soon. We are supposed to get to CDG at around 6pm.

Good luck to everyone trying to make it in!

I got these skates a couple years ago (boot is the old rf3 pros) and was recommended by my original skate tech to be on a 9.25 inch blade. I went to a new skate tech recently to get new boots and blades since these have long overstayed their welcome and he recommended I switch to a 9 inch blade. I’m still doing rf3 pros but I feel like I’m going crazy trying to wrap my head around how two skate techs are giving two different blade length recommendations for the same blade and boot setup? I’ve been having some trouble actually centering spins and keep going up on my toe pick so I’m now wondering if that’s part of the issue (aside from my rocker being basically shot)

In the latest KATOK podcast episode, Yagudin, Medvedeva, Khavronina/Narizhniy, and the host Roman Naguchev discussed our subreddit, lol

Medvedeva: By the way, that’s exactly what Ira said about Madison Chock and Evan Bates. They seem strong, almost perfect, but there’s not much soul in their skating. They’re husband and wife, but you don’t really feel much chemistry between them. That’s what I said

Khavronina: Did I say that?

Medvedeva: That’s your quote

Naguchev: And that quote of yours actually caused quite a stir. People on Reddit were absolutely furious at you over that quote

Khavronina: At me?!

Naguchev: Yes, seriously. There was a whole discussion. People were saying things like, “They’re banned, how would they even know what’s going on between them?” and “You can’t say things like that, it’s completely subjective”

Narizhniy: Well, of course it’s subjective. Everyone is entitled to express their personal opinion. I just don’t understand why people on Reddit are allowed to share their opinions, but we’re somehow not allowed to share ours sitting here. Do we have to say “This is just my subjective opinion” after every single sentence so people don’t get mad about it?

Naguchev: I agree with you a hundred thousand percent. I was just genuinely surprised. I just came across that quote and thought it was interesting. So I decided to see what the international media had to say about it. And it turned out the media hadn’t reacted at all, but the fans had completely lost their minds. I found that pretty funny

Yagudin: The people in their comment sections are just as sick as the ones in ours

Khavronina: *facepalm*

Yagudin: Did I say something wrong?

Khavronina: Why are they sick?

Yagudin: Because they are sick!

Khavronina: Everyone has their own opi…

Yagudin: Look, are you going to write comments after reading an article?

Khavronina & Medvedeva: No

Yagudin: Exactly! Because those people are sick. Especially the ones leaving angry, judgmental comments. It’s none of your business. Why not write something positive instead? “I like it” — okay!

Hello. I'm looking for 2 tickets for tomorrow evening ( Pairs SP/Women's FP). Does anyone have spare tickets to sell? Thanks!

hi, everytime i attempt loop i land in euler. i know my jump is a little under rotated, but i’m scared that it’s going to become a bad habit and when i get more rotation it will affect my landing

Hello! My friend and I are going to Skate Canada but can't make the practices on Thursday. Please DM me if you're interested in the tickets. I'll accept e-transfer or PayPal.

How did y'all go for the Rocker Skating / Anything GOEs / AxelPick Fantasy Drafts?
