2018 Olympic Figure Skating Mens FS

[risingtrot]

There's still quite a lot of empty seats though I'm sure more people will show up later. Even then there might still be seats available. Kind of sad cause the tickets had to be raffled here though and I could not get one so I gave up.

Good luck to the rest of the skaters!

Some of these skaters really need to take kurt's advice. oy.

 

[Icey]

they should give a point for the skater that falls the best

Keiji Tanaka

Great 4S to open! Shame, a fall on the 4S (looks < on replay and no combo). Solid 3A though, into a fairly well-centered sit spin. Steps could be deeper but good energy. Turn-out on the 4T attempt but good rotation. Another fall on the 3A, shame (and also no combo). Strong 3F+3T with good running edges into an adequate flying camel spin. Nice steps into the 3Lo. Alright 3Lz+2T+2Lo. A bit off on the exit of the last spin but should still be alright.

Several falls and a bit sloppy on some of the jumps but the base value should remain high for all the elements he performed. A better performance overall than his team event free. He's got good energy but his lines aren't refined and his arms tend to flail a bit. The music certainly helped him have more of a personality on the ice.

 

[myself]

I just don't think this music suits Keiji sadly

We are having a front half splatfest, so hopefully this means a back half cleanfest.

Keiji Tanaka - Just want to glue his arms down. so sloppy and hap-hazard

 

[EdgeCall]

Oh oh, this is turning into one of those men's competitions, isn't it? Poor Keiji.

Looks like it. Let's see how much hit takes to get the rink monster fed.

 

[LadyB]

Morris!!! I want him to do welll!!!

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Moris!! Don't let me add you to your training-mate's slay count!

 

[begin]

He didn't pop. A win for Keiji afaic.

 

[AngelENTL]

I'm getting a premonition that Boyang Jin is going to win.

 

[Button's Niece]

I forgot a big one for the "EMTs on standby" drinking game: commentators explain the green/red boxes. Or the 10% bonus.
Also, sip anytime they say "only" a triple/"only" a double

I wish Dick would do some kind of live stream with his commentary.

 

[ines42575]

My order of pizza and ice-cream just arrived, along with a good soda and dulce de leche, so its gonna be a good night.

 

[100yen]

Can I just point out how hilarious the shot of Keiji falling is with the stone-faced judges in the background?

That image totally sums up skating

 

[WeakAnkles]

Carol Lane: Well Kurt you just have to plow through the 10000 pages of rules everyone has to read.

Kurt Browning: That's an exaggeration. There's only 9888.

Good Lord, I ADORE CBC's skating coverage.

 

[satine]

Take me away to your super bizarre world Moris

 

[OS]

He didn't pop. A win for Keiji afaic.

Consider his last outings... this is a decent finish.

 

[lavenderblossom]

Ouch, Moris is not having it with that 4S or the 4T
