2018 Olympic Figure Skating Mens FS

[invisiblespiral]

Little sister: "So you know Ayumi... the Japanese guy..."

Me: "Yuzuru?"

Her: "Yes! They showed his fan club! It was really adorable because they were writing motivational messages!"

 

[myself]

I think Cha has improved, not sure what Soured Johnny.

Probably feeling salty that the "kid" was skating artistically whereas the golden boy did little more than stroke between jumps.

ok now I'm confused

 

[BlackAxel]

This might be a dumb question but who are S and M?

Savchenko/Massot I am assuming

 

[Violet Bliss]

It looks like the judges are determined to get Nathan on to that podium. There will be sacrificial lambs from the first group.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

But he had the redemption arc.

I'm going to stop before it starts sounding like I'm bashing him, though. Better not knock off any of the Top 4 if they're clean.

I don't think there's any danger of that. I'm just hoping a top 10 finish for him

 

[NAOTMAA]

unpopular opinion:
I find the double standard pretty funny. Yes Nathan's program is nothing but crossovers but so is Adam's, yet everybody goes gaga over him Adam skates more pretty but that's it, his programs are actually more empty than Nathan's!

 

[chopinskate]

No. If you know much about figure skating, there’s not much in Chen’s skating that can be awarded a positive GOE. He has far less height and hang time than others, almost no flow on his exits, poor entrances... nothing that demands more than a neutral GOE at best. (I’m also an American. It’s pretty obvious why Hanyu gets over +2 on his 4Lo and Nathan doesn’t.)

Boyang's Lutz is the Benchmark. Yet Nathan gets the same GOE.

Tara and Johnny are awful commentators and a bunch of mean girls. B1tchy would be an apt way to describe them.

Even though Im not watching NBC but I just like this comment in general

 

[da96103]

lol NBC will justify it as:

But he is the quad king. ALL DEM QUADS.

Yuzuru is over. Boyang Jin, who? What's a Shoma? Is that a veggie roll

I don't mind having Shoma serve me a mini veggie roll.

"Mr Uno, one shoma-sized veggie roll please."

 

[Ziotic]

This might be a dumb question but who are S and M?

Savchenko and Massot, pairs gold medalist.

Adam doesn't get Nathan's PCS..?

That reply tho

 

[skatenewbie]

Savchenko/Massot. Pair skater who won gold medal after being 4th with 6 point difference with 1st place in SP. everyone thought it was over for them until they placed 1st in FS and broken the WR score (that they set themselves lol)

 

[Metis]

That's exactly what I'm afraid of!

It’s inevitable. I mean, unless the judges decide to surprise us, I think we can all see it coming. I still think Hanyu has this with a clean free, and he’ll still crush Nathan’s PCS score. But Boyang is likely screwed. Uno, Fernández, and Hanyu are the only ones I see as being able to beat Chen’s gifted PCS because it’s so obviously there... though if the judges decide they don’t want any of them to win, who knows.

This FS went from “going to be a good show” to “I’m really pissed” quite fast.

 

[Yuzuruu]

Well if if the top 6 skaters are all clean you shouldn't be worried.

I am not worried anyways I wish ALL the skaters clean and beautiful olympic performance and will be happy with any of the Big Four taking gold somebody is going to be left out of the podium anyways so I am prepared for that [emoji3]

Heh well i happen to agree with Dick Buttton, and thought Kurt's comment is appropriately directed to him or people like him. I said the same thing about his SP.

 

[nolangoh]

Bringing it everywhere. When you hate Tara and Johnny,

Blame NBC?
