Snazzy olympic glasses for somebody in the audience.

Simon Golding commentating this time. He's normally the stand-in commentator for various ski-sports on Eurosport.

I wish all ladies a clean skate and much of luck to Elizabet and Diana

 

[puremagic]

So sorry for Masha 7 points gap for her it's very bad. I suppose now she can take only bronze :sad4:

 

[matmuh]

nooooooooo

I haven't read through the thread, so don't know what happened in the SP.

But, what on Earth is Sotskova doing in the second group???!!! I was predicting her to win the silver medal (but was secretly hoping that she would win the gold!)

EDIT: Just looked at the SP scores. She had a deduction, whereas all the girls in front of her went clean. And her Technical Elements score was a lot lower than the girls in front of her too.​

Oh, I hope she can claw back a lot of places today!

I think she fell while doing a camel spin

Not her best, with 2 falls and questionable rotation. Shame, she seemed promising at the JGPs

[ines42575]

Gosh, I need the JGP commentator, at this moment I do not remember his name

Eek indeed!

You know, I really enjoyed Benjaminsen. For the first skater going, she was pretty good (ignoring the obvious).

Hang on, I forgot we don't have a purely seeded draw. She was actually the highest in the SP out of this group.

Ted Barton.

And I agree. At least he is familiar with all the skaters competing.

But, for somebody who normally commentates on ski-sports, Simon Golding isn't doing too bad.

[Sam-Skwantch]

Was that a step out or a half loop??? I'm going to call it a loop out combo.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

This girls arms are getting a work out.

3 HAGAROVA Alexandra (SVK)

Music: Tell Me Something Good by Pink

Bit slow on the jumps, rotation looked questionable

FS: 41.15+34.37-1.00 = 74.52, 113.27, 3/3

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

When the music stops and you see no reason to stop doing your planned spin that's falling a bit behind schedule. I'm with it! Why stop there. Go ahead and throw in some more invalidated elements. Keep the run going!

 

[Interspectator]

I like this red dress.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I can't remember where I first came across Hagarova a few years ago, but I thought she was promising.

But, every time I have been researching predictions for competitions she has been in this season, I have been very disappointed to see how far down the list she is when the skaters are ordered by absolute PB.

So, maybe I was calling her somebody to watch too soon.

And yes, she does have an arm-flailing thing going on, doesn't she?!

The YT chat bar is making me lose my faith in humanity... :furious: I mean, is it really necessary to make comments about raping the skaters as they come on?!
