Did Gamelin grab his forehead at the end in a happy "I'm so excited" way, or in an "oops" way? I couldn't tell?

 

[draqq]

Aw, the tears of qualification! :sad4: :sad4: :sad4:

Did Yura have a stumble when she was on her knees?

Yes

Oh Min is SOBBING :luv17: She is too sweet!!!!

 

[GGFan]

So happy to see them this genuinely thrilled! :dance:

 

[Heleng]

Yay, so happy I'm going to be able to see Min/Gamelin's Arirang fd!!!

 

[SnowWhite]

Aww, she was so happy.

They live in Detroit. THey are coached by Igor.

Yura Min used to skate for the U.S. as well. And skated with Tim Koleto for a while for Korea. Gamelin used to skate with his sister Danielle before pairing up with Yura.

Interesting! I would have thought Korea was hard place to get citizenship if you don't live there or have relatives there. I know it's super hard to get it in Japan!

I guess it's a bit different for athletes and their mad skillz.

I agree with Tanith. This calling is inconsistent. I'm not saying she's perfect, but she's spot on. What planet does Virtue and Moir deserve a level 2 and these teams get level 4. It's the SAME EXACT PANEL.

Although yes, Anyasnake, I don't want to say not ALL of them deserve it. I agree with Zarhorksi/Guererro and Coomes/Buckland level 4.

I'm not qualified to give levels on chochtaws but I would have put a No on V/M last KP though. Can't eat the outside edge that way.

 

[moriel]

Dick Button saying "meh" is pretty cool. https://twitter.com/PushDicksButton/status/965417285077950464

Well it's water under the bridge, I'm hoping Shibs and V/M get level 4s!

But I understand Tanith's frusration.
