2018 Olympic Figure Skating Mens FS

[Princessroja]

TWO decent skates from Samohin in the same competition! Color me shocked, but happy for him.

 

[draqq]

Oh, Nathan, please do well! Land some quads and attack!

 

[Yatagarasu]

This white gloves look like dishwashing rubber gloves.

I kept thinking Mickey Mouse.

And here comes the funeral procession now. Sigh.

 

[AngelENTL]

He looks like Rudy Galindo circa 1996.

 

[GGFan]

Israel has acquitted itself very well at these Olympics

 

[begin]

Oh ok. I'm crying already.

 

[OS]

Nice Whamo 2 Isareli lead... pretty amazing!!!!

Okay... gulp... here we go. Nathen on ice!!!!

 

[100yen]

Not mine. I mean, I hope he does well but I never had expectations. Now I expect him to have serious trauma after these games and hope he gets a sports psychologist....

In all seriousness I was talking to my mom earlier about Nathan potentially having PTSD from all this...

 

[NAOTMAA]

Yay, sounds like NBC will show Nathan on the main broadcast.

They got no choice they invested WAY WAY too much to drop him. Besides their hoping for the comeback kid story to play out. And if it doesn't they'll just milk the collapse over emotional music like they always do

 

[Franklin99]

He landed his 4lz!

 

[jillredhand]

Hoooo boy Nathan, here we go! Go! Go! Redemption!

 

[invisiblespiral]

My internet just died and my mom decided to yell at me for not cleaning the bathroom.

(This might be a double post. Sorry.)

 

[GGFan]

I love this collar on Nathan

 

[liberrhythm]

Keep the live reports up!!!!

 

[synteis]

Messy skate but his tech is less than a point below Bychenko's. Explanations???

My guess from NotQuiteFancyStats is GOE and levels. Alexei had level 3s and GOEs around 1 while Samohin had GOEs above 1 for some of his jumps and got level 4s in most of his elements.

Olympic Confession #2- I am scared for Nathan's FS

 

[ruffledgrouse]

It's not great, but the costume is still an improvement from the racing jumpsuit from nationals

and now i'm on mute until he's done

 

[SpiffySpiders]

Ok Nathan, even if you're not going home with an individual medal I want you to go home with a smile. Make this skate a good one.

 

[Franklin99]

4flip-2toe landed.
Fell on his 2nd 4flip

 

[100yen]

HE'S DOING IT :eeking:
