2018 Olympic Figure Skating Mens SP

[chopinskate]

That is TES speaking not PCS. Cha won the PCS. Zhou's PCS was low. Zhou did a 4LZ+3T. Lets not pretend this is bad scoring :

At least one UR not called and GOEs are weird as per usual.

 

[gerorin]

Yay Misha, you did well, dude.

Now shave.

 

[TCAngel18]

Misha Ge just slays my life. His performance quality is beyond. LOVED that.

 

[notunprepared]

Wow Misha, that skate was truly stunning. So emotional, you could tell he was so much in the story of the choreography.

 

[Ylyzybyth]

DAnG Misha what was that!?

 

[Button's Niece]

Kind of like all these romantic “I put a spell on you” that completely miss the original intent of the tune. That’s figure skating

I think maybe Tom Jones could pull it off, but Anka? Not so much.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Oh Misha :luv17:

All I want for you is to slay your programs at these Olympics and then make bank doing shows and choreography

 

[OS]

Nicely done... now I look forward you get rid of that beard for the FS.. His penultimate skate to final FINAL retirement.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Choreography: moving with intention.

Well Misha was intending all over the place.

Jumps? Who needs jumps? Pah!

Misha Ge

Clean and direct 3A to start. Nice and light 3Lz+3T into a good multidirectional camel spin, might lose a level for not having a lot of rotations in the last position. Got the landing out of the 3F immediately into a nice flying sit spin. Wonderful intention and patience throughout his footwork sequence. And a beautifully centered combo spin to finish.

I don't really care that Ge doesn't have a quad or that he doesn't have difficult transitions. He has speed, flow, expression, and a sense of gravitas throughout Ave Maria. He's a very supple skater who means what he moves. Gorgeous skating that will sadly be undermarked in this IJS system...

 

[jillredhand]

Misha this is a bit much

My exact thought. I love Misha in general... but he did seem to be a little too overdramatic in his movements today. Manifested as jerkiness rather than smooth passion.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Nice flow and spins. Not bad lines, solid jumps. Overwrought performance, pretentious choreo. He's selling, but I'm not buying. [emoji854]

 

[100yen]

He isn’t?

You mean I should stop tithing to him?

If it means we get more that beautiful skating, I'll contribute too!

 

[Princessroja]

Wow, Misha. That was exquisite. I could watch that over and over.

All Dick Button can says is that he spins both directions, which is hard, and that his costume is distracting. Really? Really?

 

[Chemistry66]

Artistry, thy name is Misha Ge.

 

[readernick]

GOE's on point. He got negative GOE on each of his jumps. Don't see the problem

 

[gerorin]

What do you call that thing in review where the jumps are shown per steps/rotation? They remind me of figure skating mangas of my youth
