2022 Olympics Team Event Day3: Free Dance

[ks777]

Ok the US wins the silver and Japan bronze.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Yeah, that was best dance of the night! I loved that! That was great!

 

[museksk8r]

Wow! Both H/D and C/B have now defeated the reigning World Champs, S/K! Amazing surprises!! <3

 

[karne]

They did it! Oh, magnificent, Chock/Bates!

 

[invisiblespiral]

Yay!

 

[NAOTMAA]

The fact they aren't in Beijing yet makes me believe 1 of them has not been able to produce the required number of negative tests. Who is the first alternate for the ice dancers for Russia?

Yikes if that's true. Combined with what happened 4 years ago this team can't catch a break at all

 

[satine]

Ok, so what are the total points looking like now?

edit: nvm, they showed it

 

[Cilla70]

Yes. I almost passed out holding my breathe. That free dance was special tonight. Thank you.

Did Chock/Bates alter the music to their Free Dance? I don't recall it having this much energy before. This was their best Free Dance performance of the season.

Now everyone remember Evan is actually the alien here as he landed on Maddie's planet

There's definitely a lot of "entering the atmosphere" happening there.

Or—that something else mysterious is going on, as it did for the last Olympics also.

Unfortunately the first alternate, Khudabierdieva/Bazin, had a positive Covid test. I think the second alternate may be Morozov’s daughter and partner

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Japan now can't get silver, they can only tie and even then they would lose the tiebreak (I think?) because that would mean Kaori would win so Japan and USA would both have 10-10... idk

Also, the ice dance results

 

[saturdaysun]

WOW.

 

[ks777]

Ok, so what are the total points looking like now?

The US won silver now and Japan bronze.

 

[cheerknithanson]

So I think someone mentioned this in a different thread, and I have no idea who it was or which thread it was.....but every member of team USA from the 2018 Olympic team is going to have at least one medal once the team event is over.

 

[Amei]

Ok, so what are the total points looking like now?

edit: nvm, they showed it

Russia: 64
USA: 58
Japan: 54

 

[rollerblade]

What the heck does the phrase "chalk and cheese" mean? Is this a British thing?

 

[Winnie_20]

Ok the US wins the silver and Japan bronze.

I wanted Japan to get silver, but with Chock/Bates skating like *that*, I am totally okay with the expected end result. That was quite something!!!

 

[WeakAnkles]

And yes USFSA, your DANCE teams are going to save your butts in yet another Team Event.

Respect the Dance. And the Dancers.

 

[skatesofgold]

So what are the chances of a France-USA-USA ice dance podium?!?!?
