2018 Olympic Figure Skating Ladies FS

[NAOTMAA]

Come on Bradie, time to hit all of your technicals, since your PCS don't stand a chance!

Bradie's SP PCS marks were only 2.86 behind Karen and 1.18 behind Mirai even with WAY less international experiance and skating first in the whole competition. She's right on par with them

The choreography in this step sequence is truly horrific :noshake:

The aussie lady on NBCSN just said it was "great"

 

[Franklin99]

And that's... not a bad thing :con3:

I see that I was spared a horror show!:eeking:

 

[MiRé]

falling apart....

 

[Metis]

I don’t get Bradie’s appeal at all. There’s an awkwardness to her that makes me think of a newborn animal that hasn’t figured out how to use all of their limbs in coordination yet.

 

[CellarDweller]

I think someone lost both her glass slippers tonight.

 

[schizoanalyst]

We coronated a Rachel Flatt for no reason.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

:hpull: WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR MISS CONSISTENCY?????

 

[zschultz1986]

She's got very nice spins, though.

 

[Shayuki]

Well, Bradie's skating as in feet are quite okay but everything knees up needs serious work.

Her tech isn't there and without her tech she really cannot compete.

 

[ks777]

If karen could just fix the delay on her jumps (and boots) she'd have it all.

I think that's the hardest part... it's like only if Miyahara could jump higher without pre-rotation, she would have it all.

 

[SarahSynchro]

The hot mess express is here AGAIN? Argh.

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Oh Bradie.

 

[chopinskate]

I just don't understand what the USFSA was thinking when they crowned a national champion with this little experience and pinned her as the hope of USA.

 

[anonymoose_au]

She's.... 20.

Huh that is a surprise!

Usually skaters make up makes them look so much older...

But yeah dunno what to think of this program...the last bit of music was nice...the ticking was a no-no though.

 

[GGFan]

Wow, feel for Bradie! At least she has that team medal

 

[Franklin99]

Bradie's SP PCS marks were only 2.86 behind Karen and 1.18 behind Mirai even with WAY less international experiance and skating first in the whole competition. She's right on par with them

I wasn't comparing her to the American ladies!

 

[SarahSynchro]

Gabby looks like she’s out for blood....

 

[firal]

I don't understand the choreography for Bradie's Cinderella. What are all those two arms straight behind her back poses?

 

[Fruit Loops]

I don’t get Bradie’s appeal at all. There’s an awkwardness to her that makes me think of a newborn animal that hasn’t figured out how to use all of their limbs in coordination yet.

I think I agree. Tall skaters can be really elegant and sometimes I don't mind more angular positions but she seems to be fighting her body here. The inbetweens were just ugly to me.
