2014 Olympics Ladies Free Skate

[Antilopa]

Elene, at least her new dress doesnt look like oriental carpet.

Perfect for this event.

And the "prayer circle for Mao" tag is mine.

 

[Tonichelle]

lol! I'm watching Johnny and Tara instead. At least we're not getting woeful regrets about a national skater who didn't qualify.

no we just get to listen to them commentate in a way that adds fuel to the fire of "skating's not a real sport". bemoaning that the costumes don't inspire them is getting REALLY old REALLY fast.

 

[Ophelia]

It is insane who is in this second group. It's like the whole event was the subject of some strange voodoo curse.

Plushenko cursed the ice.

 

[smoothiw]

This group will amaze us!!!
Go Mao, Osmond, G., Kim, Zhang, Kanako.

My heart beats !!

Guys. I think Oprah paid all the girls a visit this morning.

You get a splat.

And you get a splat.

And you get a splat!

EVERYBODY GETS A SPLAT!

Nice job, camera man! /grumbles

 

[hurrah]

And Mao does a clean triple-axel! Well, kind of bittersweet really.

 

[TMC]

Skating at the Olympic FS means she is one of the 24 best novices in the world.

Thanks! I saw that the other day but couldn't find the link today.

It's in the first post of the thread. We started doing that to make it easier since the helpful posts get buried in the giant threads.

i still cant believe Mao is in this Group... biggest Heartbreak of the Olympics...

 

[Kinga]

This group is super interesting. Wow.
Kanako changed her dress. Not to my liking

 

[ARipp42014]

Fall count is at 5.
WH count is at 4.

 

[MaiKatze]

I love Kanakos new costume. So weird to see Mao this early.

 

[Fruit Loops]

Her costume seems at odds with her music

Yes! I agree with this. When I first saw the dress I thought it was so beautiful but then the music started and I was thinking, "what the heck does this have to do with the music??" Never mind that her skating did not match the music either. The slower section in the middle was more appropriate both to her costume and speed (or lack, thereof). She seemed to get most of the job done though.

 

[Puchi]

I expect some good performances in this group. They all want to move up in the standings.

And Mao does a clean triple-axel! Well, kind of bittersweet really.

Hope Mao can skate clean. Probably her last competition, her heart must be broken right now.

 

[EdgeCall]

Right now I wished Mao had scored another 74 yesterday. Call it a night to remember. Alas, it was not to be.

I can't take Yulia looking that devastated ever again. If she can throw down a 140 with her FS she'll be putting the heat on but I don't care what she scores. I just don't want to see her that sad again. Amazing to think she hasn't fallen in over two seasons. She's put her hands down and stepped out but not fallen like that. I hope she can recover.

My ignore list is at an all time high! I'm now in a Yuna like Zen state of indifference.

The Way to Zen is not through indifference, grasshopper.
