2018 Olympic Figure Skating Mens FS

I have nothing personal against Nathan (more towards the judges tbh) but if he wins I don't even know what I'm going to do anymore
 
Adam own it as if it is the last performance you will ever do!!

Go birdy!!!! Work those PCS...
 
Adam is playing it safe. But he wouldn't have a chance anyway, so I don't mind it and just enjoy his skating.
 
Here comes Adam! You go, son!!

Also...that shirt wins for the most sparkliest! It's like nothing but sparkle.
 
I'm not sure what to think right now. The part of me that has alway loved the men, and thier bigger jumps, more than the women admires what Nathan and Vincent brought tonight, even if Vincent isn't fully rotating his jumps all that often. I'm a fan of the athletic aspect over the artistry.

But...

Most of the quad-heavy programs are choreographically empty. This is a hybrid of figure skating and some other sport. It's interesting, but it's not what most skaters have trained to be. A decision is going to have to be made about where the sport is going. Personally, were I coaching a skater now, I'd advise him to concentrate 80% of his time on jump practice and not worry too much about what goes between elements. Just throw some engaging music on and skate around a bit then jump. And you know what? I'd watch that. But it isn't figure skating as its traditionally been. Is it what audiences want? I don't know. Maybe, but looking at who has the most devoted fan love it's the 2-3 quad men with fuller programs.

No matter who ends up winning, this is a crossroads moment for figure skating. Interesting times.
