Thanks <3

I'm like...JFC NBC, go to commercials during the review/scoring/breaks but THERE'S ONLY 10 SKATERS DON'T SKIP ANY

Oh no, see, the live stream goes to commercials during the reviews. Yes, I'm serious

"Yen Han"

Yen.

That is actually the correct pronunciation for his name.

 

[LittleLotte29]

"Yen Han"

Yen.

Actually that's the proper way to say it.

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"

oh no.

Well there goes our chances of a decent comp I guess

Wait, no, it's Rizzo up next oops
Go Matteo! Save us!

Ugh, yes. I’ve just sent my first complaint of the Games. I was kind of hoping to at least get to Group 2 before I did that.

Huh.

I...actually did not know this. I'm so used to them mispronouncing names.

Ewww, CBC closeup of Han’s snot bubble nose in the replay...

Han Yan

Was going for a +3 3A but had a rough double-footed landing. Step-out on the attempted 4T. High landing on the 3Lz+3T but good combo. Wonderful glide and power through the step sequence. Overall, better spins than he usually does.

Shame that his first two jumping passes were so shaky. Nice fight on the combination after the hard step-out on the 4T, and he does have strong skating skills and pleasant choreography. He still lacks a bit in facial expression and I wish he had straighter leg action, but he should still land in first place so far. (EDIT: Actually he's in second after being dinged a bit more. Must have had a jump under-rotated.)

 

[Violet Bliss]

Is that his nickname? Why hanee?

Is the nickname Kirt gave Han. Maybe it's Honey.

CBC goes to the Patrick Chan cam during the reviews, with a countdown to when Chan takes the ice.

 

[macy]

where are the russian athletes at??

 

[QuadThrow]

Still lead for Korea. Impressive!

 

[plushyfan]

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.

OMG! terrible!

 

[GGFan]

Kinda sad that i don't get to see S/H but if they win gold I'll get over it

 

[Mista Ekko]

They made sure he was JUST behind the south korean ^_^

But whatever, he didn't compete well

I don't mind commercials during the reviews. Just...don't skip the actual skaters.

Oh yes, not surprised. Word was going around about this for a while now. Sigh.
Thanks!

Smiling Hongbo by the boards is the person everyone should have in their lifes

Dutch commentators haven't done their homework...? They're wondering if maybe Boyang isn't there yet... or if it's the guy sitting in the kiss 'n cry wearing the glasses.
