2018 Olympic Figure Skating Pairs FS

[MaiKatze]

PRK Cheering Section: ACTIVATE!

I'm so proud of the two for
1) Qualifying for the Olympics
2) Qualifying for the Freeskate
3) Making it to the second warm up group!

They really did well. Still it's leaving a bitter taste in my mouth how this all played out in a way. They qualified but then missed being entered and were invited especially again. Why the special treatment? Every other country it would've been, kay, byebye. And now that disgusting cheer squad. It just screams attention seeking, for all the wrong reasons. Which they didn't even need, because they are good.

I have not been keeping up with Pairs so my first time seeing this PRK team was yesterday. After watching their long program, I am amazed by them! A bit slow though but everything else is good!

 

[LittleLotte29]

you got to start somewhere

remember what China's Olympic pairs debut was like? And look at them now :agree:

The audience actually laughed at Yao Bin and his partner. Amazing story of success, btw.

I’m worried, yuzudaughter has been in the bathroom for the last fifteen minutes.... pray for me plz.

And history repeats itself

 

[Yatagarasu]

They are not too happy with that it seems, the Russian commentators think should have been higher too. Ah well.

 

[s_parks]

Behind both canadians, as expected. They don't get the levels yet.

HAHAHAHAHA THE JUMPSUITS.

Ryom and Kim are delightful, I think she in particular has star quality. Very happy that they skated so well and are enjoying their Oly experience!

 

[BabblingBrook]

Are the North Koreans using the same costume as their SP?

Nope its just has a similar colour scheme

 

[jillredhand]

Hooooo boy. Normally I am a bodysuit fan, but... not today. Very Blades of Glory.

 

[s_parks]

I'm sorry, but I hate super matchy costumes...

 

[mermaidfestavol3]

I'm conflicted on this costume choice.

 

[nolangoh]

Still waiting for Matteo to rip off his suit at the end of the program

 

[anonymoose_au]

Yay, good score for Ryom/Kim!

But now I must flee.

Fingers crossed for all the remaining pairs! The final two groups are gonna be epic! (Hopefully I'll get to see it in hi-def on the Ch 7 TV coverage!)

 

[GGFan]

I love these 80s pairs outfits

The other North Korean athletes were invited for the Olympics instead of qualified too.

Even sadder still they hacked half of the South Korean team that qualified for the women's ice hockey because they wanted to make a joint Korea team, so half of the athletes that have been preparing and training and competing for years to be able to make it to the Olympics had to make way for the North Korean hockey players D:

They sure aren't happy. Bruno Marcotte said that they are extremely ambitious and even plan to become world champions in two years.

 

[SarahSynchro]

These costumes remind me of one of Adam’s bird shirts...

 

[Roo87]

HAHAHAHAHA THE JUMPSUITS.

#Butts

Reminds me of Adam Rippon's previous FS costume (which was fab).

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Ah, yes. The matching jumpsuits.

I love them
