2018 Olympic Figure Skating Free Dance

Great skate by the Shibs! :) They should definitely take the lead. That said, I'm rather sick of Coldplay, and I really never feel anything when they skate. I'm impressed with their technical precision, but I never get emotionally invested. Maia is always impeccably dressed though. :)
 
Shibutani / Shibutani

Very good speed on the change of feet in the spin (Level 4). Very secure and strong edge changes through the circular step (Level 4). Smooth changes of position in the straight-line lift. Strong stationary lift with calm rotation. Superb synchronization through the twizzles (Level 4). Great rotation in the blurry lift, very Meryl Davis (only a Level 3 actually for some reason). A little stuck in the second part of the diagonal step but good change to try to get a better level (Level 4). Strong choreographic lift and spin to end the program.

They have made a few changes in the program since Nationals, and for the better. The step sequences are more clearly at a higher level (wow, Level 4s on both!). That's pretty much the best they could really do with that program. They were a bit understated and more contained as they usually are, but I think they were able to release their energy much more after the twizzles. Great performance for them! Let's see if Hubbell and Donohue can match it!
 
Remember! Alcohol is a poison that little by little destroys our body, if used more than once in a while.
 
If the Shibs medal...oh gosh I'm gonna be a wreck guys. An absolute wreck.
