NBCSN is airing highlights from yesterday's USA vs. Slovakia game before the Men's FS!

Ah Zach Parise!

re battle for bronze medal: my last-minute-wish Brian deserves an Olympic medal, I believe, more than anyone else here, considering all his great accomplishment in the last 10+ years along with Evgeni! :yes: Goo Brian!!! :yay:

Agree! I wish him to do his best.

I am almost ready for the show. TV is on, this forum is opened, but no English streamig just Russian.

I hope anyone could give us BBC streaming, please.

:think: Definitely going back to work today despite not being 100 percent. What to do....be surprise or not? It would be easy to stay away from the social media, me thinks....

Wow, Robin Cousins said that only 5 out of 30 short programs were skated clean. But it didn't feel like a splatfest. At least not like Ladies in Albertville. Oy!

Interesting for Yuzuru Hanyu that he is doing a 3A+2A sequence instead of 3A+2T that he did in GPFinal.
(base value; second half of program)
3A + 2A sequence = [8.5+3.3] x 0.9 x 1.1 = 11.68
3A + 2T = [8.5 + 1.3] x 1.1 = 10.78

There is an error in the above calculation. It should read as follows :

3A + 2A sequence = [8.5+3.3] x 0.8 x 1.1 = 10.38
3A + 2T = [8.5 + 1.3] x 1.1 = 10.78

The overall base value will actually decrease by 0.40 because Sequence has a modifier of 0.8 --- not 0.9

re battle for bronze medal: my last-minute-wish to the skating gods is, if not Daisuke, then Brian to win it!

I second this. I am cheering for Joubert to get Bronze!!

Whelp. Jason skates last today. Here's hoping he finishes his Olympic experience strong and skates clean!

 

[ARipp42014]

I want a repeat of the final flight of the 2010 Ladies FS event! Brown pulls a Nagasu and finish 4th unless Javi implodes.

Just at the Olympics! Don't want him to do a Mirai for the rest of his career!

yay, the german commentator just said that he'll be back to comment for the last 2 groups! so we germans get to watch 12 skaters without interference
when he'll be back, I hope we get some Katarina Witt again though, her laugh is always so contagious
