2018 Olympic Figure Skating Mens FS

[purpledream]

It was my dream podium omg now I can say it so I won’t jinx it

Ahhhh I was desparately counting points after shoma fell on that opening jump! And the PCS

And he got silver? I was so convinced Javier was dead sealed for silver


Love the podium
So glad for all of them

AHHHHH I was like shouting and cheering in my living room. Only now to sensibly type my response.

Thank you all for the stream help!!

Is there already a link to plushies ceremony somewhere?? Apologies for trouble and thanks in advance!!

You guys, my heart is just so full. Everyone had their moment and skated with such heart. This Olympics for me has been less about how these athletes skate (although that part is amazing) and more about who they are as people. Yuzuru coming back from injury, Javi coming back after a rough season last year, Nathan coming back after those disaster shorts. Everything is right with the world honestly <3

 

[chopinskate]

He deserved it. The program and performance were better and also more difficult, yes with some underrotations and a clear mistake, but Boyang did have a fall on an underrotated jump.

OK just finished watching Nathan...I dunno why the hate, that's was totally epic!!! Spread eagles and everything, I take my hat off to him.

 

[sweetice]

My hoped trio

No clean programs from the best skaters, but today it wasn't like Sochi's mess. I'm so happy, but also very impressed by Nathan's free :eeking:

I think that Nathan is now the favorite for the Worlds.

 

[gerorin]

Yuzu said he's really thankful of everybody's support, that he could even just get back to skating thanks to them.

And then my stream cuts off.

 

[Yuzuru]

Have we put the debates to rest that Hanyu is GOAT?

No, Papa Orser is the GOAT.

I'll take gimmicky with personality over fill in the blanks "beautiful lines" bs. Out of the jumping beans I thought his short came the closest to resembling a convincing program.

Jin's Short is an actual good program,
The free feels like something he kinda gets through

 

[purpledream]

Maybe Shoma was having a "blonde moment"

Hahahahaha agreed. He had this calm demeanour in k&c too! Like not outpouring of emotions like his coach.

Just this ... really? Hmm is that so?
And then 10seconds later

Wow.

HAHHAHA <3 them all
And then Yuzu crying after that!! I can’t T-T

 

[GGFan]

Dick Button's tweets about the top men are beautiful! So happy he was alive to see someone join him as a two time gold medalist.

 

[Jaana]

So happy for the medalists and especially for Javier to have won a historical Olympic medal for Spain, WOW!!! And the silver was so close..., but a medal is a medal, especially an Olympic one!

 

[ks777]

So what's next for Yuzuru? Disneyland?

 

[HanDomi]

Tarasova just all over Hanyu right now

 

[uncchristine99]

That was amazing! Great competition and not too many spills... very proud of the US men--all top 10! Nathan's incredible redemption--I mean 215 and way clear of everyone else in the FS. Vincent was also surprisingly stunning--he was so under the radar compared to the other two. It's so exciting to have these two young men as the future of US men's skating. Adam was ethereal--he's been a picture of class and elegance. I miss that so much about skating.

And can we shout out to the two Israeli guys? They were wonderful!

Congrats to Hanyu, Uno, and Hernandez--all crazy skilled guys with so much heart. And they all have such different styles--it's really hard to pick between them. I loooved Hanyu's FS--that music was BOMB!! Hernandez also got me with his music selection--so much command and flare! That is a veteran right there! Uno's music was good but has been so overdone--he skated wonderfully though. He's the 2nd Daisuke to me!

This was such a fabulous competition--very exciting to watch, I think everyone placed where they should--the judging wasn't crazy lopsided. I personally wish Chen had placed 4th overall because I didn't think Jin had the PCS to back up the score he got but ah well... applause to all of them. It was a great contest! I love the Olympics!

 

[gerorin]

Yuzu interview ended with him thanking everybody for him being who he is, not just as a skater. He said his right leg put up with the pressure for him.

- the middle of the interview the stream blanked so I didn't catch it

 

[machin]

No, Papa Orser is the GOAT.

Real question is can we make his milk into cheese too...

Ok sorry, couldn't repress myself.

Do you have the Eurosport Player? They showed the entire plushie ceremony.

And Yuzuru, Shoma and Javier hugging it out. What a fluffy ball of happiness. I don't think it can get any more perfect than that.

 

[Mista Ekko]

So what's next for Yuzuru? Disneyland?

You mean as in a Yuzuru themed amusement park ?

Dick's Button's tweets about the top men are beautiful! So happy he was alive to see someone join him as a two time gold medalist.

How did NBC not have him on hand for this potential moment?
