2022 Olympics Team Event Day1: Rhythm Dance

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Best PCS?!? Gross.

They should be in 3rd, maybe even 4th (although the Canadians were a bit tentative). Can’t wait to see the +5s on those twizzles.

They just need to stay on their feet and an individual medal is theirs, silver if they restrict it to one stumble.

All to play for, Team Russia!

So sad for P&P, I was quietly sure they'd come third...

 

[Mista Ekko]

USA winning 2 out of 2 so far

Judges are generous to Russia in both events,
Maybe not criminally so, But visibly

Well Canada is kind of screwed now. The one point advantage won't help Team USA for gold as things stand, but a major slip up in the short could now be costly for ROC, especially if they are second in the FD as well. KoKo got lucky with placing seventh, that will keep them closer to the US in order to push for silver.

 

[QuadThrow]

Should have been in 4th.

 

[anonymoose_au]

There US won.

I love it when posters are like "The fix is in! Russians cheating again no surprise."

Then they don't win or whatever and crickets. Like no-one has the grace to apologise. They just pretend they never said it and we're all supposed to forget they did.

Mmmm'kay that's totally fair.

this is painful to watch as a piper and paul fan.

Honestly the costumes were distracting from the performance

 

[Ziotic]

I’m sorry, I may get an infraction for this…but

Honestly how much is Russia paying these judges. First Mark and his GOE for sloppy landings and a spin he almost fell out of. Now a visible error in the midline and overall sloppy performance and still scores don’t reflect it at all.

It’s getting hard to watch when the judging is so outrageously biased.

Yes. But less than in Sochi or at Europeans. The Russian Bonus is there. But this more comes from the past overjudging.

This is a dream start for the United States in the team event

 

[satine]

Sounds delicious!

What about all greens though?

i loved the costumes...

I still enjoyed them. I feel your pain though.

They need it before pairs and ladies

 

[HeadBanger]

I agree with H/D in first, they had a fantastic skate.

The rest of the placings, I'm not so sure about

 

[Mista Ekko]

Eurosport calling out that the point difference between H\D and S\K wasn't big enough

It will be hard for Japan to get silver now. However, it isn't impossible. Koko placed as expected.

Keegan being out with COVID really hurt Canada. Keegan's SPs this year have all been in the 90s. He likely would have scored above or similarly to Mark K. I don't think they are going to make the FS.

If they latch onto 3rd in both events (Not out of the question)
they should be doing pretty well

I know, right! They're 2 for 2.

 

[Hyena]

I think Japan is safely into the team event at this point - I might actually guess it'll be Georgia going with them, but China, Canada, Georgia and the Czech Republic are tight.
