2018 Olympic Figure Skating Mens SP

[purpledream]

Is that the tradition? I mean the pairs skaters are so beautiful and Han Yan definitely didn't follow that trajectory.

Han Yan was the 3A master before he had such beautiful step seq (at least to me) that I don’t even care he fell today

 

[zschultz1986]

You know, If some of the other falter, and Adam skates lights out, he could definitely move up to 5 or 6!

 

[WeakAnkles]

Nathan's below Zhou.

Yes, we're talking a meltdown of Chernobyl proportion.

On the other hand, it looks like there are enough Pooh Bears for every child in Korea. South AND North.

 

[FSGMT]

Why did Nathan attempt a 4F in the warm-up and then changed it to lutz and toeloop for the competition?

 

[SarahSynchro]

Wow. Adam in 7th. If someone falters he could end up finishing in top 6. Just wow. Who would have predicted that finish order of US men?

Heck, Chiddy might end up top 5, though it’s slim. Oooh, I can’t stand the suspense!

 

[zanadude]

I’m so sad for Nathan - this really breaks my heart he’s so down
He seems confused as to why he did bad(?) is he trying to downplay his nerves or is he hiding an injury? IDK what to think

Live by the quad, die by the quad.

 

[twirlingblades]

6th place is 90.01 and 21st place is 79.52......

ANDREA JUST GO THE EFF AWAY AND LET NATHAN DEAL WITH THIS IN PEACE


jfc

It's time for the vultures to pick at the dead carcass they've crafted.

 

[da96103]

Wow! What a competition!

Yuzuru, Javier, Shoma, Boyang, Aliev all clean as a whistle.

And Patrick in in the final group, just simply more wow.

 

[HanDomi]

anyone have video of Hanyu short program ?

 

[Sjs5572]

Give Nathan a break, NBC. You're still interviewing him?

Yes Andrea, leave him alone. The NBC hype contributed to this.

 

[gerorin]

Now that was a good Olympics. Lots of great skates. More of that in the FS please!

 

[Lenny318]

Omg Nathan my heart completely breaks for him. Ugh he is amazing better days will come gosh I hate to see this happen to ANYONE who has worked so hard.

 

[nolangoh]

Nathan must be in agony

He is gonna comeback à la Mao-in-Sochi, and it will be the Nathan Chen-moment in PyeongChang.

 

[Oreo]

Jason Brown would have scored better than ALL of the US Skaters here. #Justsayin

As would Ross Miner.

 

[LadyB]

‪I’m happy, only that Misha could be a bit further up. Well done, Dima for first time Olympic outing!
What an event!!!

 

[Mussique]

We're so BLESSED TO BE ALIVE


Also heartbroken for Nathan, but this was so much better than I expected.
I hope the fS goes just as well!

Medvedeva final slay count: 13

Boyang pushes Adam out of the final group.

NBC won't admit that they've ridiculously over-hyped Nathan. When I yell at the NBC announcers, it's not usually Terry that I'm yelling at, but to keep on calling Nathan the "gold medal favorite" after the team short...

 

[Skater Boy]

Great job by the top 4 especially. Hanyu, Fernandez, Shoma and boyang. Nice surprising skates from Messing and Aliev. Sad farewell to Denis. PCS really Chan deserved to be up with Hanyu and FErnandez. i get his tech content is too low but still. Nathan is young and with his jumps will move up - he is lucky we are in the age of IjS otherwise he would be in big big trouble. Zhou did fine too but he won't beat Chen. The content is so high compared to Sochi The top 4 willed their way to staying vertical.

 

[readernick]

2xJapan vs. Spain vs. China vs. Russia. That's a battle for the podium worthy of the Olympics!

Hope they will all stay clean.

I think that in terms of PB Aliev really isn't in this competition. But, if everyone else falls a few times it could happen.
