2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 1

[frida80]

I’m here! I’m here! I can’t believe I missed three skaters!

 

[EdgeCall]

Your Pyeongchang rink ice was delivered to you by Quadkiller Inc. Quadkiller - your premier choice for quad-save performances.

 

[Ylyzybyth]

I love this program! This is fun!

 

[chairmanmao]

Uhm it's like 11AM in South Korea on a Friday. People have things called work

Rather pointless excuse. If this was Japan this would be full.

 

[Yatagarasu]

Splatfest already. I read that the ice was not good, doesn't bode well...

In what way?

I remember that the talk was that it is more fit for speed skating, as that is the priority for the Koreans.

 

[GGFan]

OT: Props to Korea on this color scheme

 

[lavenderblossom]

I want someone to save this group, but the next skater is Kolyada and I don't trust him to skate clean

I like the purple! Contrast is good.

 

[readernick]

That is just what I was thinking. Boyang's jumps and Han Yan's skatings skils= Yuzuru Hanyu

 

[Chemistry66]

"Yen Han"

Yen.

 

[Tastetherainbow]

Wow... neck to neck on TES with Cha... interesting!

 

[Leppis]

If the main competitions are going to be like this i'm gonna cry. I want clean performances from everyone!

 

[invisiblespiral]

Han Yan makes me sad.

(I liked everything in this program except the jumps. )

 

[sunnystars]

Who in the world is singing this A Thousand Years cover? His ISU bio doesn't mention.

I think it's Boyce Avenue

 

[Wo|flax]

Oh Han Yan; first you make me cry with the failed jumps and then the beautiful SS

 

[SarahSynchro]

Yuzurudaughter live commentary: that’s the skater that’s almost murdered yuzuru!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

What a shame! Han is such a lovely skater - fast, great skating skills, etc. - but the jumps were just not there today. The quality of his skating is at a much higher level than the other skaters who have gone though.

 

[MiRé]

Wow... neck to neck on TES with Cha... interesting!

Han has PCS advantage I think.

 

[QuadThrow]

The Germany commentor mentioned that the ice quality may be diffcult to handle.

 

[silverfoxes]

In what way?

I remember that the talk was that it is more fit for speed skating, as that is the priority for the Koreans.

It was a Google translate interview with Mozer, she said something about how they have to switch the ice from speed to figure skating and so the quality is "crappy"

 

[MaiKatze]

German Eurosport say that it's bad (spröde) ice. And there will be more falls to come. Especially edge jumps are problematic with that ice.
