2018 Olympic Figure Skating Ladies FS

[Metis]

First time I swore out loud in FS when I saw that.

NEEDS TO WIN.

Whatever I feel about her skating and the program, as a former athlete, godDAMN, she could give a master class on composure and keeping a cool head under pressure to so many people.

Shaky on that first 3Lz, and she STILL pulled it off. What a fighter to pull the 3Lo combo on the 2nd Lutz! Amazing!

Agreed. Wasn't her best performance, wasn't magical, but very much a fighter. She only lost a point on that lutz versus her usual solo lutz, so still very difficult to beat.

Plug your ears, Kaetlyn!

Her speed and coverage or body movement seems less than Satoko though.. i am surprised.

Good save on the 3Lz+3Lo.

Allow me to rewrite your sentence: God save the 3Lz+3Lo.

Alina Zagitova

A difficult choreo sequence. A little bit off on the start of the flying camel spin but still well-centered. Refined edges and good positions in the step sequence. Only a 3Lz without the 3Lo combo but maybe she'll get it later. Strong 2A+3T. Nice series of 3F+2T+2Lo with tanos and rippons, and strong combo spin with stretched positions. Strong 3Lz+3Lo, nice comeback from the missed combo at the start. Nice rippon 3Lo. And another strong rippon 3F. A bit rough on the 2A but still alright. A fantastic layback spin to finish.

I almost thought she was starting to lose it with the first missed combo but then she tacked on the combo later on so she's definitely got a good competitive mind. Still not a fan of the backloading but the way the program is edited and choreographed, it works well. Medvedeva has her work cut out for her to beat this but the judges will likely put some room for her to possibly win. She will be assuredly on the podium.
