This gala program from Chock and Bates is really special, it's made me tear up every time. #PrevagenUSChamps

[Sonya Afanasyeva @SonyaAfa]

What is happening in the arena while we're seeing commercials on TV during the team announcement? #PrevagenUSChamps

[Sonya Afanasyeva @SonyaAfa]

Malinin+Torgashev+Naumov=dream Olympic team! #PrevagenUSChamps

[Sonya Afanasyeva @SonyaAfa]

Yessssss, Torgashev!!!🔥🔥🔥 #PrevagenUSChamps

[Sonya Afanasyeva @SonyaAfa]

Ilia, bring back the previous free program costume from earlier this season! It makes you look like a cool modern wizard! #PrevagenUSChamps

These girls are just standing up there chatting away through the medal ceremony 😅🥰 #PrevagenUSChamps

I love Bradie so much! She absolutely deserves this standing ovation and so much more! #PrevagenUSChamps

@MariaPotterNut Or ads during ice resurfacing, that makes sense. Like ads in soccer matches during the break in between first and second half. That's a solid 10-15 minutes of ads. Let us watch the rest! Just because someone is not actively skating does not mean nothing is happening.

I can't believe that a big skating fan like me, based in the U.S., does not have the option to watch an uninterrupted feed of U.S nationals, without commercials, where I can engage with the replays and K&C moments - despite paying for the official streaming app #PrevagenUSChamps

[Sonya Afanasyeva @SonyaAfa]

Where is the Ashley/Ben feed even airing? Can we watch it somewhere? #PrevagenUSChamps

@Lilly185569 Search for figure skating and here's the screenshot

[Sonya Afanasyeva @SonyaAfa]

FYI Peacock started another feed without commercials. It's got a split screen so not as good for the actual programs, but I'm clicking back and forth for the replays/scores. #PrevagenUSChamps

[Sonya Afanasyeva @SonyaAfa]

We missed Mone and Junhwan in the gala because of @peacock delay 😕 #worldfigure

[Sonya Afanasyeva @SonyaAfa]

@rockerskating Yes, tonight his jumps looked better than Malinin's - more effortless.

[Sonya Afanasyeva @SonyaAfa]

Absolutely love Torgashev. He is the full package male skater - gorgeous technique, beautiful jumping position, such deep edges, elegance, passion... So good to see him skate well! #GPFRA

[Sonya Afanasyeva @SonyaAfa]

@IceTeaPod He has the most genuine concern for all these competitors, I love it, "Oh noooo..."

This is what sunrise looks like from the International Space Station.

What does sunrise look like where you live?
