[lileychristie]

Arrghhh is it because we get good Kevin, we can't get good Kao back to back?

They're like 2 sides of the same coin and only 1 can land on top

 

[cocteautwin]

At least he will have a chance to get a better olympic moment in the free.
Devastated for my child.

Six sharks in the sea, and they are all bleeding ...

How can a skater not have spare boots?

He did, but still felt more comfortable in the busted ones. They were gambling the repairs would hold...

 

[Seven Sisters]

Hard to believe, but Andrew is going to be in the top ten after the short. I just had to check

 

[lariko]

Yay, he made free skate, I can go back to work now.

 

[museksk8r]

Well, Ilia certainly doesn’t appear to be lacking confidence right now. Imitates Rocky Balboa as he takes the ice.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Kao made it in! I wonder if he's relieved or not with the boot situation?

Adam! I keep missing him, so I'm excited for this.

Mikhail S!!!

Ilia is the best, love the confidence!

And Yuma, what a cutie!

This group is staaaaaacked!

[labgoat]

I will only accept that if the hair removal is permanent

I am worried that I need to hide from you two

 

[Sabsi]

Six sharks in the sea, and they are all bleeding ...

Lara Sharky Gutman will have them for dinner

How can a skater not have spare boots?

Not unusual, most skaters only start breaking in new boots once old ones fall apart.

How can a skater not have spare boots?

I assume it's hard to break in two pairs within time when you have training and competing to do, also with boots there can be a slight difference with each one and that can make the whole thing useless so I think most consider it better to save the money
