2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 2

[sweetice]

Those Caro’s PCS…

The girls seam still not at best, but those points place Carolina on the favorite spot for the 3rd individual place, with Osmond just behind.

Back on nations, 3 point of advantage are still a lot for USA. I think Italy need to see what happen on pairs FS, before decide if Carolina may try to do also the FS.

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. She is a jump technician, .but
Imcould feel her stress getting into her legs. It was a bit more rough tna usual, the first spin travelled a deal, she kind of lost balance in few steps before gerting into her combo. That is said, she should be clearly the winner, but I don’t see how she gets skating skills as high as Carolina.

Alright, when are they telling us who’s skating the pairs free?

I was wondering the same thing. Last minute, no?

 

[winky97]

I think Mirai should skate the long program. She has a higher scoring potential. The message to Bradie is, you're not ready
yet.

It’s already been announced that Mirai was doing long.

 

[jimini]

They should use Mirai for the FS. Any US lady will end up last, but at least Mirai will get an Olympic Medal! =)

I don't think they can unless the Shibs do the FD as well. You can only swap out a max of two events.

 

[chopinskate]

not really... another american girl needs to only score 65+ to be in her 5th place position...or at least 58 to be 6th...

That was sarcasm...

Here's hoping D\R do a repeat of their Boston "Hometown Glory"

It likely doesn’t matter because the US is almost surely going to get the bronze (unless Kolyada melts down again- which is more likely than I wish it was)

But, I think Bradie is a much better option because only two substitions are allowed. All the Us dance teams are amazing!

 

[Leppis]

Well I think OAR lost their chance on Gold with not putting T/M on free.

I miss Dick Button's commentary. His constant negativity was an echo of everything in my head.

[GGFan]

It hurts me that Satoko is a distant 4th in PCS with that program :ddevil:

 

[A.H.Black]

I think US has a chance to be 2nd in the free.

 

[Step Sequence4]

Not sure if people already knew this and I’m just being stupid and surprised, but Knierms are planning a quad twist

 

[twirlingblades]

I don't think they can unless the Shibs do the FD as well. You can only swap out a max of two events.

i thought the shibs were doing both? unless they change last minute

 

[Ice Diva]

Watch Osmond and Med both get higher PCS than Satoko.

And so they should

They did one at Nationals.

 

[Silvia451]

This pair event doesn't look very interesting. I guess I woke up again just for Duhamel/Radford.

The Shibs should do the free dance. They have the highest scoring potential among the dancers. Sentiment shouldn't be a factor.
