ISU 2019-20 GP - Event #2 - Skate Canada International - Kelowna, BC - Oct 25-27

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

Having watched most of the meagre offerings good old CTV served up, just two quick comments: There were certainly many great performances but for me one thing stood out and was Lubov and Charly's pure joy of being on the ice and skating together.
And you were so right, Elizabeth about Rod's inane chatte, it drives you round the bend. Other wise a great skating season ahead of us.

Thankfully, between some CTV coverage plus TSN (not available to everyone), I believe all of the competitors were shown. Despite my volunteer commitment, with my PVR plus some live viewing I was able to watch it all but some of it not until yesterday.

I am very grateful that I will not have to listen to Rod any more this year as I will be in Mississauga for Canadians :)
