2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 2

[liberrhythm]

my WORST nightmare, along with vincent zhou. do the tech panels for ladies stay the same?

 

[jenm]

I expected as much with Zhenya's scores. Not that I agree with the scoring because how can they give Caro and Zhenya 38s, Kaetlyn 36 and Satton only a 34? It baffles me.
If Zhenya would skate like this or better, she'll have another world record in the individual event.

NBC Olympic stream says pairs is coming up in a couple of hours..guess I have to stay up.

Is Alina skating for Russia in the long program?

 

[Chemistry66]

In the meantime while waiting for the Pairs FS, I'm watching Zhenya's Sailor Moon gala skate again <3

That was ridiculous. Two people made clear mistakes (Kaetlyn and Mai) but were put ahead of Bradie. Why? Because her toe pick made noise? Give me a break. Bradie should have been third, behind Carolina and Evgenia. I'd say there was anti-American bias, except that they put Nathan ahead of several clean or cleaner skaters, so I guess they just prop up whomever is the most famous at the time.

I'm not sure...

She did beat them technically in the scores but they are far superior skaters at the moment

 

[schizoanalyst]

I don't know why anyone is surprised a clean Bradie is behind a messy Osmond. Deserved or not, this is how it was going to be. The American lady was always going to be 5th. Only a clean Chen or Nagasu could've pushed for that 3rd or 4th slot.

Golden Skate is getting really slow...anyone?

 

[Step Sequence4]

Am I the only one finding one of the Canadian CBC lady commentators quite annoying, she’s saying so many un true facts I can’t stand it.

The traffic is real!

 

[skatesofgold]

Some questionable judging here. Osmond should have been placed behind Tennell. And I would even place Choi ahead of her. So in fair world, Canada and Russia should have been tied going into the Frees.

Agreed.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Japan should be thanking their ID team. They put them through.

Then again, the USA should be thanking the Shibs for once again showing that ID is the strongest American discipline.

ID deserves so much more respect!

Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Do we know if Alina is skating the team event?



Def less ice coverage than the skaters before her. Idk about rough. This program was always too loud for the music (completely pointless use of Chopin thanks to the choreographer from hell).

I agree; there was something missing from the performance. Med should be leading, but she should not have received 81+. She's talented but every program has that same sigh and mime expression

Just wait till the ladies final

 

[LadyB]

Zhenya Medvedeva, what a wonderful thing to wake up to! And the Russian fans are out in force!
