Where's MCM????????????

 

[GGFan]

Matteo is such a pleasing skater to watch. Minimalistic beauty.

Rizzo popped second half of combo, I think. He should still go into second.

S-T: 0
N: 5

when will the see-through mesh make an appearance? *insert puremagic emoji*

 

[jillredhand]

Good job from Matteo!

 

[TCAngel18]

Rizzo is so pretty. Like ridic pretty.

 

[SarahSynchro]

He also medalled at Worlds, so I think these years around Sochi were his peak years. It's simply over for him. Scary to see what can happen if you don't quit at the top of your game.

Erm, I dunno if Carolina kostner would agree with that statement.

 

[s_parks]

I'm not a tech expert, so correct me if I'm wrong, but his jumps seem quite... prerotation-y.

 

[Metis]

Rizzo has more understanding of his music and artistry than half the Big 6.

So I'm in the audience and had a perfect veiw of Vincent's quad flip. It wasn't under. I can see the ice tracing where he landed and there's a tiny hook on the landing but definitely not an under. The toe was under no question, but the flip looked fine aside from the bad landing.

You live up to your name!

I think Vincent score might stay on the leader board till the 4th and 5th group.

These Quads really help, whether one likes it or not.

 

[Icey]

Isn't Frank retiring ?

Jackie Wong says MCM is there, on the ice now.

Just an error in the broadcasting.

He lost gold by little more then a point! Patrick still won even though he splat across the ice and made numerous smaller mistakes if I recall correctly He was so robbed!

 

[schizoanalyst]

Rizzo can't touch Zhou technically (especially since his 4F wasn't called) - but there should be a decent gap in components and I fear there will not be.

Matteo Rizzo

Smooth and secure 3A to open. Clean running edge out of the 3F, might be considering putting the combo in the second half. Nice donut spin. Only a 3Lz+2T, a bit wobbly. Alright flying sit spin. Could have more one-foot skating in the footwork sequence but good variety of steps. A bit of travel in the combo spin.

Not as crisp and pristine as his short program in the team event, but still a clean skate with a bit of downgrade in technical. The opera was a bit overpowering for his smooth and simple style. After Denis Ten, it's just a bit lackluster in expression. However, he does have a good edges and nice attention to the phrasing of the music.
