2018 Olympic Figure Skating Mens SP

[loop9497]

I think it's a mistake to compare these sports. They get multiple runs, skaters get one shot. They can rely on adrenaline rushes to just push through it, unlike in skating where you can just go from jump to jump.

True.

Plus Shaun White did mess up in 2014 (well, he didn't medal).

Will nathan make the free skate? Isn't it only the top 16? Maybe if Koloyda goes lower?

Top 24

 

[silverfoxes]

What a surprise...not!

Kolyada's coach should be fired after this Olympics, really.
She didn't do anything not even the disastrous performance in the team event.

Mikhail Kolyada

4Lz opened into a 3Lz instead. Tilted in the air on that 4T, so a fall sadly and no combo. Decent flying sit spin. Wonderfully high 3A. Nice layover camel spin position and donut spin in the second spin. Good stretched movements and difficult edgework throughout the step sequence. An adequate combo spin to finish.

Yowchies on that fall on the 4T, especially without the combo. This program has grown on me over the season, and his artistry does work with this program more than it did earlier. He'll still get points for the 4T but his base value will be similarly very low.

Uggghhhh

 

[ks777]

Not sure why 4T is reading as invalid.

because 4T must be in combo. He didn't do a combo so no point.

But many superstars thrive under the pressure like Shaun White, Chloe Kim.

True, but unlike those you've mentioned, or Hanyu, Kim and Medvedeva, not too many athletes can thrive under that kind of pressure!

This is a good opportunity for Nathan and Misha to meet in a bar and get tanked up together.

Korean bbq, then karaoke with Soju. Sounds like a perfect night to me :agree:

 

[Silvia451]

oh boy...

Shoma please be as amazing as your choreography.

Top 24. He's in

 

[Yuzuruu]

I feel so sorry for Nathan I have a feeling that all that hype around him has hurt him. Also, its tough to follow Yuzu.

 

[BlackAxel]

Message to NBC: Just because your prized "golden child", Nathan, didnt skate well doesnt mean you have to forgo showing the final group.

 

[Ziotic]

Wow, Patrick needs to send Nathan and Mikhail a muffin basket. They have proped him up twice. Albeit this time his skate was better.

 

[mermaidfestavol3]

Sorry for causing a panic, but the missed combos actually count as points. Just a 30% deduction of BV, I think.

 

[100yen]

I have a good feeling about Shoma.

 

[zschultz1986]

Doubtful with a messy 3Axel.

Ross Miner should have been here.

So he can choke like most of his other previous international competitions? HAH. At least Brown has done something internationally.

 

[friedbeefmince]

kolyada actually placed pretty well?? hopefully he brings it in the free

 

[yelyoh]

Koylada not going to make final group. So sad.

 

[Mista Ekko]
