2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 2

[GGFan]

All of the pairs requirements make it really hard to watch when it's not going right. Especially in the free

 

[cheerknithanson]

Getting my bed ready for bed while I watch the pairs FP. Man, I'm in for a great Olympics if it's going to be like this in terms of streaming.

 

[Wo|flax]

When did Japan got a semi-decent pairs team? They look promising.

It's only half new (new girl) and this wasn't a great skate??

This male commentator...."I did not get the sense that she was overly confident in this routine"

No kidding

 

[Mista Ekko]

I want 130+ for Ondrej and Valentina

 

[Yatagarasu]

This Japanese pair lady is not good.

Well it's not like he knows how to throw her. Take a good look and just no.

I think It's another pair team that qualified Japan for the Olympics but the guy doesn't have Japanese citizenship...

And in related news...Water. It's Wet.

At the very least, make the pairs spin similar to the spin in ice dance. The current requirements make the pairs spins look slow, laborious, and boring.

And I say this as a strong pairs fan.

 

[s_parks]

They desperately need Chinese guidance on those twists and throws, but that's not gonna happen obviously. Hope they can work on that.

Sumire Suto/Francis Boudreau-Audet. She's Japanese and he's Canadian.

 

[BabblingBrook]

I am sooo tired.... but I wanna watch it till end

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Anyone else want to hug Satoko?

Valentina time!!

 

[Mussique]

Now that I think about it, Evgenia Medvedeva's score was higher than Kolyada's. The man's SP was truly terrible, wasn't it...

 

[readernick]

This male commentator...."I did not get the sense that she was overly confident in this routine"

No kidding

I think she is completely new to pairs skating. It takes time to learn the elements. I think they have potential to improve

 

[Violet Bliss]

And in related news...Water. It's Wet.

Only in the liquid state.

 

[Lipea]

They don't go by your rules at the Olympics or any ISU event.

They go by Canada rules now or some kind of common agreement on who would get gold in team event. Japan, despite the popularity of the sport, always sucks in politics of this sport, allowing its skaters to be diminished in international judging. If Osmond's case was done by Japanese or Korean skater, by no means this combo would be validated.

 

[Chemistry66]

Valentina and Ondrej way solid on those side-by-side jumps (both the solo jump and the combo!)

 

[LadyB]

I want Marchei/Hotarek do well. I really love Team Italia.
