We have been having storms here in the SF Bay Area. So, we lost our electricity from 1:30pm-12midnight. I did get to see all of the Canadian Open, but I missed the Crest USFSA Event and the Saturday night portion of the Hallmark Event. :cry:
Could people give me summaries of who and what was shown of Crest and Saturday night's Hallmark on TV? The order, their music, and what programs were chacked?
Thank you!

Here you go, Patty:
Crest USFSA Event:
Men:
Takeshi Honda: His "Mummy" LP (I'm guessing Dick isn't a really big fan of this particular program! :lol:)
Michael Weiss: His "Malaguena" LP
Alexei Yagudin: A modified version of his "Gladiator" program
Tim Goebel: Unfortunately, I can't remember the music, but I'm guessing he skated his new LP :)
Evgeny Plushenko: His "St. Petersburg 2000" (I think that's the name of it) LP
Ladies:
Jenny Kirk: Her new Die Fleidermaus LP
Ann Patrice McDonough: Her "Madame Butterfly" LP
Irina Slutskaya: Her "La Treviata" LP
Sasha Cohen: Her Rachmianinov LP
Sarah Hughes: Again, I can't remember the name of her music, but I'm pretty sure she skated her new LP, too! :)
Hallmark Skating Championships:
Unfortunately, the only short program NBC showed in its entirety was Sarah's (she skated to some jazzy-sounding music, but again, I can't remember the name of it) They showed clips from Irina's (they played her interpretive music instead of her SP music before Irina skated!), Takeshi's and Alexei's SPs and probably could have shown more if they hadn't spent most of the first half-hour talking about why Sarah was late arriving at the arena, but anyway, on to the interpretive skates:
Men:
Takeshi Honda: His Moulin Rouge instrumental program (same one he performed at Canadian Open)
Todd Eldredge: His Channel 1 Suite program (same one he performed at Canadian Open)
Michael Weiss: His Rolling Stones medley program complete with twisting backflip :)
Alexei Yagudin: His "Overcome" program (again, same one he performed at Canadian Open)
Ladies:
Maria Butryskaya: the same Shakira program she performed at this year's Ice Wars
Yuka Sato: Stranger In Paradise (she performed this number quite often last year, but it's still lovely)
Sarah Hughes: the same Fosse program she's performed quite a few times before!
Irina Slutskaya: a slow vocal version of Samson and Delilah
I haven't peeked at any of the live reports from these events yet, so I can't tell you who got chacked, but hopefully someone else can provide that information. :) Also, I was wondering what was included on TNT's Canadian Open coverage since I can't get that channel. Thanks!

IIRC, 22 programs in three hours! That's the way skating should be! The show was great until the very end when Roz dissed Michelle. :(

I don't think the pairs SPs were shown on TNT. There was 5 hours of coverage of the Canadian Open on Canadian TV and 3 hours on TNT. Does anyone know what else, besides the pairs SPs, was not shown on TNT?

Actually they showed 25 programs in three hours! (6 pairs programs, 10 ladies, 8 men and Kurt's exhibition). GO TNT! :)
On the other hand...NBC only shows 9 programs in two hours! :x

Oh no, you mean Sears was on too? I totally missed it. Sigh. It doesn't pay to print out the tv schedule, since it always changes. This wasn't on the printed copy I was using. It doesn't look like TNT is going to replay it either, although they usually show everything else at least 10 times.
