I don’t understand the start orders at all.

Reverse orders from individual skater (not country) from SP.

 

[Karoltyna]

Matteo, have a skate of your life

 

[lileychristie]

Unfortunately no Europeans-winning skate from Nika tonight....

 

[Skating91]

Nika probably only needed one more clean jump to be out of reach of Rizzo. Rizzo hasn't been good for a long time. Need a lot of luck now.

Who are sitting invu.s.a. box because alysa, isabeau, kam and oshea are standing next to it and not sitting

 

[discodisco]

Poor guy... looks devastated.
Bummer.
Scores 154, which I actually think is a little high...

 

[ramurphy2005]

I don’t understand the start orders at all.

It's based off how the teams finished in the short.

Matteo!!! On home ice in home olympics!

 

[GGFan]

Tara and Johnny don't realize that they're talking about a celebrity when they're discussing Shun's coach!

 

[lariko]

Le´t see Matteo and Stephen perform first. It´s men planning quads everything can happen. But surely he is leaving the door wide open for Italy now

Rizzo's PCSs alone should place him ahead, then Italy wins the tie break. I am calling it for Italy. But Georgia has come very, very closely. Which is already respectable. But I feel Italy really boosted their program, with more skaters in women. So, i think this is going to play the role here.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

God, they Olympic cameramen are killing me.

 

[BlissfulSynergy]

Matteooo!!!!

 

[moonvine]

Reverse order of how they placed in the SP (for the specific discipline, not the team overall)

Thanks!

 

[lileychristie]

FORZA MATTEOOO!!!! GRAB THAT BRONZE FOR ITALY!!

 

[Ziotic]

It’s so nice that team Italy will be able to celebrate their medal as soon as Matteo finishes.

 

[freedomlover]

I love how the men with only one quad end up as heroes sometimes

 

[moonvine]

That was an interesting camera angle.

 

[snowflake]

Tara and Johnny don't realize that they're talking about a celebrity when they're discussing Shun's coach!

who is?

Great skate from Rizzo so far; he is showing the cool composure that helped him to win the silver at Europeans last month.
