2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 1

[Pippuripihvi]

I heard a lot of reports from skaters and coaches complaining about ice (Zabiyako and Enbert said it was f... bad). So that might explain what's going on

If the mens SP TM were a drinking game, we would all be drunk by now!

Actually, booze would make this mess of an event look better

 

[Bumdid]

This event is more cursed than Sochi

 

[twirlingblades]

Man, is the ice really that bad? I can see their poor knees trying their best...

 

[Lissy]

Controversial opinion- I love Shouma's new costume

I like it too! It's pretty and it's flattering on him

 

[BabblingBrook]

I think at this point its gotta be the ice (or is just everyone this nervous?)

 

[lavenderblossom]

Oh good, he got his combo off.

And the axel! Lead by country mile I guess.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Just got back. What on earth happened?

 

[MiRé]

Yes combo

 

[Winnie_20]

Yas, Shoma!!!

There, no problems with the ice, just problems with skaters.

I hate to add fuel to the flame, but it's really incredible how Plushenko thrived on competition...he just loved the pressure. Anyways, I wish the young Russian men brighter days; there's so much talent right now.

 

[Icey]

Are we at the beginning of the season? So much sloppy skating .

 

[ancientpeas]

There is a small part of me that is thrilled for Alexei. What a confidence boost for the men's event.

Love me some Shoma Uno!

 

[jimini]

he's not even going to make the free skate.

I thought all top 5 countries all qualify to the free skate for all of their skaters?

 

[Sabrina]

Bravo Shoma!

 

[Ayeshoo]

Hello! Can anyone share a link on where they watch the event online? Thank you.

 

[badknees]

oh my gosh , that Ashley commercial for Toyota! She's getting more press and airtime and sponsorships than Bradie, Karen and Mirai combined. And she's not even skating.
wow, this is really different than normal.

 

[zschultz1986]

Shoma's movements look less rigid in the upper body today, I like it.

By far, the best short we have seen tonight.

 

[jkun]

thank god for shoma uno.

 

[msaidi]
