So excited to be in Lake Placid for Skate America!!! I am slowly but surely dragging my whole family into figure skating fandom with me, so I made cheat sheets to help my parents + aunt who came with me.

Also. My country flags are READY

Skate Canada—GOE +2.5

The theme! The colours! The lines! The flower arrangements on columns!! I'd go higher but those ice cube seats look so uncomfortable, even though they *are* charmingly thematic. Delighted by this situation.

It's fine? I like the white curved couch, and that background is clear and easy on the eyes. Not a lot else happening here....

This is a nice, if somewhat basic Kiss and Cry. The background is typical, and the couch is a dull color. But the plants are nice! There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not really to my taste.
