2018 Olympic Figure Skating Ladies FS

Oh my god....what a heartbreak for Evgenia :sad21: What a class act. Poor Alina. OMG TEARS EVERYWHERE> CAN"T HANDLE>
 
Last group of ladies did come through! Congrats to all the medalists, sometimes I forgot how young they are.

Gutted for Satoko, hopefully the Japanese media won't be too hard on. She did great!
 
Again, as I said, in retrospect missing the GPF was devastating. She needed to keep the PCS in check by beating her. I'm sad for Med.
 
Nope. Tara vs. Michelle part 2. Evgenia elevated herself tonight. She deserved the PCS
 
Evgenia Medvedeva

Sturdy 3F(tano)+3T to open. Good tano 3Lz into a spread eagle. Very good center on the flying combo spin. Lovely phrasing with each step right to the beat of the music. And another tano 3F done with ease. Strong landing on the 3Lo. Safe and secure 2A+2T+2T with tanos. Smooth rippon 3S+3T. Secure 2A. Wonderful combo spin and a strong center on the layback spin.

What a wonderful performance! That technical score doesn't look like it will match Zagitova's and be a bit too much for even her to conquer, but I think she's safely secure into the silver medal position. The landings of her jumps may not have as much ride-out as Zagitova's and her spins may not be as fast, but she did the best she could with that program and has better overall artistry. Either way, I hope she's proud of that performance and that she's still one of the best skaters in the modern era.
