2018 Olympic Figure Skating Mens SP

I love Boyang so much, despite his lack of artistry. I will always root for him!

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Man...Boyang has really improved his control over his performance in between the elements. I wouldn’t call him graceful yet but he certainly is displaying a much better control. :clapper:

Bonus points for the loud gong in the program!!!

Orser's students were lost and down when he was in the hospital and they must be so happy and rejuvenated with him at the board at the Olympics. Junhwan, Yuzura, and Javi wowing the audience.

What happened, was he sick? I didn’t hear about this.

 

[brens78]

A big hell yes to Boyang too!

 

[readernick]

No offense to Boyang Jin fans but this is a real come down for me after the beautiful skates we just saw from the others. Nice jumps though. Good for him.

 

[Sabrina]

My boy is ON!

 

[s_parks]

Dick Button is going to come after Boyang, lol. Anyways, I love that he's so sincere about improving and you can see it.

 

[HollyRose]

Wow, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Boyangman!

What’s Dima doing up there in the top 5? That’s great to see!!!! I’ve loved him since his Notre Dame program in juniors.

giving a big fat middle finger to the Russian fed., that's what he's doing! :cool14:

NBC is getting bad news in skating and skiing tonight.

Adam is the only thing holding the network together

Snowboarding was a letdown, too, but Lindsey Jacobellis has been a choker for more than a decade.

I’ve been checking scores intermittently, and happened to check back in just as Nathan’s came up...all I can say is dayummmm. TBH, I wasn’t surprised that he faltered (I had a feeling it might happen, especially with how out of control the hype machine was becoming), I just wasn’t expecting him to fall that far.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I see your point but I'm a bottle of wine into this and feelin real frisky.

Oh dear

 

[randomfan]

This is going to be an insane Men's FS

 

[BlackAxel]

If only Boyang could steal Han Yan's skating skills. If only ... *sigh*

Podium is set - Gold- Yuzuru, Silver- Javier-, Bronze Shoma.

Nah, Boyang might have a different opinion.

 

[GGFan]

Boyang!!!! Fight for that medal! Love how much he's improved over the past couple years. This footwork has gotten better and better

 

[Miss Ice]

Nathan should go to Brian Orser - whatever Brian does he preps his skaters well under pressure - Yuna, Hanyu, Javi. That's what Nathan needs. It would be a shame if Nathan turns into a Jeremy Abbott/Gracie Gold/Alyssa Czini who never were able to realize their potential becase of nerves.

He isn't. I think he is different. I think ever he switched the costume/hairstyle he became like less confident/nervous. :sad21:
