2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 2

[BabblingBrook]

They are still discussing what to say without knowing the mic is on xD

 

[Amei]

That's exactly what I'm calling them! The country formerly know as Russia!

Maybe we should start tweeting (if someone has a twitter account) NBC suggestions for the commentators because most of what I've seen of the Olympics they all seem to be fumbling around what to call the Russian team.

No chat during skates, Yulia during replays, you need to pretend you are a russian to watch.

Have you lived under a rock for the past year?

Yes....I've got a lovely Condo there.....

 

[Violet Bliss]

There is no team from Russia

IOC has the power to render the largest nation on earth non existent. Let's keep that button away from all eager fingers.

I went out today for general tso, my ex has the kids, just bought an awesome 55 inch TV now I'm getting ready to break out my favorite wine and enjoy the games....I prepared for this moment but I empathize with everyone whose day is going wrong

Exactly! I prepared too.
A lot of people prepared for this moment. I am reading this thread to get fast feedback on technical stuff like why a level 2 etc.

So, please fans — discuss Scott’s facial expressions in depth on another thread, and stop bickering. A lot is happenning as far as the scoring - let’s talk about the live event and leave other topics like which fans are bad to slow times like summer.

Looking forward to see how strict the tech panel is here and also Bradie's PCS after her national win.

Protocols up

One of T or S messed up the chochtaw (maybe Scott but idk), and the last KP (that I'm not surprised at all). No-touch lvl3 but GOE all +3, not the 1st time with them.
Shibs both did not get credit on chochtaws. Rest is lvl3.
B/S got No-touch lvl4.
Anna&Luca almost got pattern lvl4 but timing issue on one of the chochtaw.

moral = those damn chochtaws

Is there somewhere where we can discuss ID technique because here, it's going to get lost between ladies...

 

[wusswuss]

the music they play before/after performances and during warm up I think is fab, just dancing to everything lol

 

[moriel]

first group on ice

Sounds like a plan.

 

[MsLayback]

It would be really sweet if the Shibs and Chock/Bates won medals from the team event and then Hubbell/Donohue took the individual Bronze.

That is how I think it should it happen too! Ice dancing is our strongest discipline reward them...
If Brady is up there she should do the long it could even give usa a chance to win the silver

Spasibo.



Do I pass?

 

[GGFan]

Perhaps now that we have a gold I can relax

 

[NoNameFace]

You do get that unlike several other teams, they didn't modify their music? They used the normal version of Sympathy for the Devil, which is considered samba rock, Santana is a latin rock band, and Hotel California have a rhumba rhythm, they just used an acoustic version.

And the acoustic version of 'Hotel California' is one of the best, most effective in character rhumbas this season in SD in my opinion, not mentioning its actual great fit into rock glamorous aesthetic chosen for Tessa and Scott's dance.

Yes what amazing power the IOC is showing by addressing the problem in a cosmetic way only :disapp:

You should start a new thread in The Edge! I'd love a bit of ID technique education.

So happy for Red Gerard.

Schott just took a hard fall, hope she's alright.
