2018 Olympic Figure Skating Ladies FS

Emmi must be pretty proud of her asscheeks

 

[somelikeitpink]

Okay first: why the hell did this song become a warhorse? Whyyyy??

Two: I really like Emmi - I feel like when she’s on, she’s on, she’s got wonderful lines then.
When she’s not then.. well... she’s young.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Well, that was...

Pretty terrible to be honest. She likely should be last. Sigh. Finnish ladies' skating...

She's so fast, and the jumps are big. I wonder if it's nerves.

 

[amateur]

The Finnish girl has some very good qualities, I hope she continues to develop well

Papa might not be here, but "Mama" on the left does NOT look happy.

Bodyguard Adam is with Mirai backstage again.

FINALLY A FRIEND

I am so part of this club.

Kurt and co. have become my fav commentary team. They explain the scoring and technical side perfectly for casual fans and point out reasons why skaters get the scores they do that may not be obvious on tv, like how Emmi skates high speed into her jumps.

Yes. And they know when to be quiet too. They remind me a bit of the British EuroSport commentators. They know how to point out the flaws without bashing a skater and to point out the good points without exaggerating. And no idle chit chat unless a program is reeeeally boring.

Papa! WHERE THE EFF ARE YOU!? JESUS PAPA!

Emmi Peltonen

Hand-down on the second 3T on the 3T+3T combo, but quite high on the jumps. Fall on the 3Lz attempt, a bit too much force on the landing. Clean 3S+2T. Stronger 2A+1Lo+3S with good speed (3S could be < and it has been called <). Only a 2Lo for the intended 3Lo. Nice arch in the back for the layback spin (Level 2). And only a 1F. Foot-down on the second 2A. Good expression through the step sequence with attention to the lyrics (Level 3). Good combo spin (Level 4). Alright flying spin to end the program (Level 2).

I would have liked to see her interpret the music more throughout the program, because she was able to capture the music much more in last minute or so of Papa, Can You Hear Me. She gets so focused on the jumps in the first half that the program feels a bit lost then, but she has lovely arms and good intepretative skill. But she had errors on a lot of her jumps today and lost levels on her spins for not being sustained.

Beautiful Finnish skater.. Missing Viveca.. hope she can make to the Worlds next season. I just found out she was second to Emmi.

 

[beki]

I think Emmi’s quite talented and she’s improved since I saw her last year in Helsinki

 

[CellarDweller]

OH, really liking Kalani's outfit

 

[anonymoose_au]

Yes, a couple Finnish posters confirmed it

Judging you so hard now, Finland.

OMG...Australiaaaa! Go Kailani! You can do it!

 

[kevinVchicago]

Poor Emmi. I like her a lot. [emoji53]

Go Kailani!

 

[SarahSynchro]

Every time I see a Scandinavian or Finnish skater now I think: you better enjoy this because your days are numbered. No tourists allowed! :dev2:

Unless they join a synchro team.

 

[Puchi]

Go Kailani!!!

 

[GGFan]

Oh gotcha. I just couldn't figure out where the tourist part came in lol.

You have people who complain that their country is sending too many "tourists" to the Olympics who have no chance to medal.

The last Moulin Rouge of the OG!

Oh great, another syphilitic hooker.
