2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 2

[GGFan]

I like to imagine Evgenia with a decent choreographer...

Exactly. There's actually there there but some of the choices . . .

 

[draqq]

Evgenia Medvedeva

Good flying spin to open, and a solid amount of footwork. Great tano (EDIT: 3F, not 3Lz)+rippon 3T. Beauitful 3Lo and a tano 2A. And a strong pair of ending spins with nice centering. A wonderfully performance on a technical level. I didn't feel the performance as much as I usually do, but she'll get 1st place no matter what. She's in a class of her own (with Zagitova).

Not shockingly, the five final qualifiers are CAN, NOT-RUS, USA, JPN, and ITA.

 

[Heleng]

Evgenia is amazing. I hope she wins gold.

ETA: I would be equally happy if Kaetlyn wins gold because I love them both equally, but obviously Evgenia has the edge in consistency. I’m really hoping that Kaetlyn makes the podium though.

 

[MiRé]

I wonder what Med will get if she goes clean in individual. 39PCS?

 

[jillredhand]

Italy and Japan in the Free Skates! So excited!

 

[firal]

Evgenia sent her message loud and clear!

 

[liberrhythm]

another world record?! i'm not watching, but heard her jumps were weaker than usual

 

[s_parks]

That's the WR? For some reason I thought she'd already scored higher at worlds or something, lol. Shows how much I pay attention.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Score comes up and Eteri be like: “Pfft. Did you expect anything else?”

 

[ruffledgrouse]

If we put all three us women's skaters together, we could get bradie's consistency, karen's artistic ability, and mirai's triple axel [emoji23]

And she could skate to the Voltron soundtrack

 

[schizoanalyst]

Evgenia had a wobble before her first jump combo. And her 3T looks more forced than usual like it's closer to toe-axel technique now. But she should definitely be first.

Well, it's way improved on her 2016 technique. It was best in 2017, but she's regressed. I suspect she's grown a bit and that's what's happened.

 

[chopinskate]

As she should.

Nah.

Anyway, good on Evgenia for going clean. Should be nowhere near 80s, but she should be 1st.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Not shockingly, the five final qualifiers are CAN, NOT-RUS, USA, JPN, and ITA.

Color me Completely Not Surprised.

 

[Crystal7]

I have to say that a break and Alina made Evgenia's skating MUCH better. It seems to be more real to me. It was beautiful!

3F-3T is the combo she does in the short. Evgenia only does one lutz, in the FS.

 

[liberrhythm]

Did US slip into bronze medal position?

 

[SarahSynchro]

I like to imagine Evgenia with a decent choreographer...

I’d love if they sent her to Shae Lynn.

 

[moonvine]

Bradie reminds me of Sarah Hughes, a good skater but not memorable and not someone that I'll go binge-watch on Youtube.

Sarah's OGM skate is one of my very favorite skates by anybody ever. I watch it on Youtube all the time.

Commentator Lane has gall talking about Carolina not walking away from the sport and not wanting other skaters to walk away early when she (Lane) has been responsible for so many dancers at the "Lane" school leaving with such distaste for the sport, due to Lane herself!!!!! Fortunately for Carolina, she stayed in the sport because she had caring, supportive coaches that encouraged her to stay and helped her fight back from discouragement as opposed to contributing to it!

please, which stream are you watching ?
