2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 2

This is an unpopular opinion. I believe that Bradie FS is better than her short. She just seems to come alive more.
 
bradies short program at Skate America was the highest any us lady had skated internationally she just topped that score here at the Olympics which means Karen and Mirai hadn't matched it in the Grand Prix how would they match it now

Read my post again, I said I'm not sure that either would have scored better.
 
On NBC Streaming (paraphrasing) "In modern skating the (spin) positions are much more inventive with more features" ...

Uh ... that's just totally arbitrary requirements from COP that somebody made up for unclear reasons.
 
Bradie I thought should of scored at least 70

No way. Even the GOEs were generous, the combo especially was not ideal, she had to fight for it. And her PCS isn't even 30 for sure, which she got here but if we count in the Nat champ, the Oly inflation, she was scored exactly right.
 
That was a little tough... Heads up Mae!!

I find it fascinating how much people here hate Bradies presentation - I feel like I'm the only one who really likes it?
I definitely think she's above or on par with what Karen or Mirai could have scored, imo she should do the free as well. (also I'm biased I love the cinderella FP)

People are just sentimental about Mirai. But,she and Bradie are both hardly
PCS goddesses and Bradie does not ur or fall.

Karen does have better SS and she is musical but her jumps are extemely prone to under-rotation. She always gets dinged even worse than Ashley Wagner.
Bradie is the most likely to score well.

Rough fall on the opening 3F. Good recovery on the 3T+3T, a bit high on the first jump landing. Spins could be faster but fairly well-centered. Adequate 2A as well. On the downside, she could really skating to anything and I wouldn't know the difference, and I like The Mission's soundtrack ever since Matt Savoie.

I to love Cinderella and I'm tired of the haters, bradie said in an interview that she really wanted to skate to this music and this was probably the last chance she would have at the Olympics and she was going to skate to the music that she had wanted to skate through for a long long time she is living her dream and she worked hard to get there so her Dream came true it's a Cinderella moment
 
Bradie's PCS falls to earth. I think the judges were a little harsh.

69 is very good for her she is not yet a top world artist she has to work on her « reputation » but next season if she continues to skate clean she will get good pcs (and she has to speed up her skating she is a bit slow compared to the best girls )
 
So my father, who is in his 70's, heard me use the term "throwing shade" this summer a couple times. After having to try to explain it to him, he is now attempting to use it, quite generously, in regards to the NBC figure skating commentary. Someone please save me
