Men's Free Skate - Thurs, 18th 8pm EST

[UM84]

I hope Evan wins just to prove to everyone that there is more to skating then just the quad

 

[magicalwords]

Oh my. I feel so sorry for Oda.

 

[Eevun]

Poor cutie...

 

[skatemom1122]

I can't believe this.

What a horrible night.

If Lysacek ends up winning he will be the most underwhelming Oly champion ever.

My goodness he was only the first skater of the flight, calm down.

Pity on the loop and the laces but it was a nice performance by Nobu Chaplin! Will that go below Chosen One's performance? We'll see!

Here, here. Oh, well.

Feeling badly for Oda- what a thing to happen at the Olympics. Though his boots are super beat up and the laces looked scary- like they were on their last legs.

 

[Kinga]

Poor Nobu. Maybe world champ next month?

I thought exactly the same!

Hid quad is to die for, I thought he would go for it....

 

[Smuusik]

Evan skating clean - good for him.
The program in whole though being extremely cautious and imo a bit of a bore.

The pointsheet.

What on earth is going on with Oda. For the love of God...

 

[Eevun]

Stephane, stephane, stephane!! Come oooon!

 

[Marrymeyunakim]

What jumps did Oda do?

Right, and Evan will be the person to prove that. Please, spare me.

 

[Ryan O]

Poor Oda for his skate lace breaking.

Wonder if he will drop a placement?

 

[figuristka]

Go Lambiel, Weir and Plushenko. I think Evan was consistant but without that energy and fire he was missing some performance factor.

 

[mycelticblessing]

Eeeps! What happened with the laces? The Eurosport commentators are being pretty critical about his boots and laces.

+1

 

[Lotta]

At least Oda-san got through. That's the most important thing.

[kiz_4Ever]

Oda's broken skate lace has caused Chan to pull ahead in the standings.
