Festa on Ice 2008 (May 17 -18 in Seoul, Korea)

They had mentioned in the London Free Press Interview about a show in Korea ...so I decided to look it up!

Discussion on a Yu-Na Kim forum (mentioning Tessa & Scott as performers):

Hopefully, there'll be some coverage of this event

Hmm. i doubt anything in North America, we suck for coverage of any skating.aha

From FSU:

Korean SBS wii live broadcast of the show from 16:30 to 17:30 PM(Korean Time +GMT9) at May 18.


Not sure if there's a way to get this channel online or not.

I feel silly for asking but what does Korean time +GMT9 mean?

Fingers crossed for good reviews plus video of this broadcast.
It would sure be a help during this non-skating-season time.

That's just the time zone. Korea is 9 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (or GMT+9). For comparison, the east coast is 4 behind GMT. So for me (on the east coast) this will be broadcast at 3:30 am on Sunday May 18.

If it's broadcast we'll probably get videos eventually. I think I need the skating fix too. Major withdrawal!

Thank you OlieRow. I knew I would feel silly; once you explained it's "oh, of course."

I'm assuming a Korean broadcast would be heavily concentrated on their own, plus other Asian skaters. Do you think V/M could end up not even being shown? Maybe there will be another angel there taking home video.

I love when Everything is included, the coming out to the ice, the bows, the leaving the ice. I've noticed very few broadcasters show these details. Like they think we'll surely be bored or something. Not me.

V&M seem to be one of the featured skaters on the Festa on Ice website, which gives me the feeling that the organizers think they are a big draw. At 4CC's, the crowd seemed to love them, and the main Worlds tv feed kept showing V&M's Korean fans whenever V&M were on the ice. Hopefully, all this means V&M will be shown on the broadcast.

I'm afraid of it too. There's some promo video in this link. It made me a little sad because of they showed Tessa and Scott only in 2-3 shots.

That is actually a fan-made montage, not an official promo.

I was @ 08 Can. Nats. in Vancouver & I was lucky enough to meet a Korean lady who resides in Korea & so I am counting on her to send me as offered a tape of the tv coverage of Festa On Ice.

Watch until the very end - Tessa & Scott in traditional Korean outfits

oooh, evt, thanks for video! Both of clips are so interesting although there's not so much Tessa&Scott there.
It would be cool to see some pictures of them in Korean outfits

Here are links from FSU for the live broadcast. Assuming the links are right and there aren't any technical difficulties, I'll be able to record it.

Tessa and Scott's Interview

Pictures from last night's show:

http://sports.media.daum.net/nms/general/news/gallery/general_035/list.do?cate=26200&type=c

There are also a few video clips at the top but they're taking forever to load.

It looks like they did Umbrellas (or at least Tessa's wearing that dress, Scott is in all black like he was for the Ballet number) but there weren't any pictures of them skating alone, just in group numbers. It could be the lighting, but Tessa looks really tan in some of them. Maybe she got a vacation in somewhere between World, CSOI, and now? She definitely deserves it. I really hope they show Tessa and Scott even though they've shortened the broadcast and I also want to see the Yuna and Johnny number.

Their ballet number is uploaded on FSVids:

There are also a lot of pictures posted here:

Here's one of the ballet exhibition, they're in some group shots too:

When I saw the initial video of this program from CSOI, I wasn't so sure I liked it. However, now that I've seen the whole thing, I think it's fantastic! Very beautiful!

Thanks for the link! I thought it was cool. The "barre" work, the little solos...

Yes, they wasnt pair team - they had third skater - "barre"
I like this number and the quality of video very good!
