2018 Olympic Figure Skating Mens SP

[SarahSynchro]

Why did Nathan attempt a 4F in the warm-up and then changed it to lutz and toeloop for the competition?

Hasn’t he done this several times in the past? Random yolo quads, major choreographic changes mid program...Raf never knows what he’s actually going to get from Nathan until after the music starts.

Andrea Joyce's best interview so far has been with Hanyu because she's only capable of conversing with someone with about a 70% command of the English language.

I know he's young, but I really hope nathan's career doesn't turn into a gracie career... potential to be the best but ruined by nerves

idk, very happy for yuzuru, shoma, javier, and the other top skaters, but I'm soooo sad for Nathan.

 

[zanadude]

Yes, we're talking a meltdown of Chernobyl proportion.

Let's not get carried away. It was more like a Three Mile Island.

 

[lavender]

Does Nathan fall a lot in practice?

 

[FSGMT]

As would Ross Miner.

No.

 

[yelyoh]

Wow Adam in second group but top. Vincent in second group but bottom and Nathan nearly bottom of third. Nathan could have the skate of his life in the LP/FS and pull up to 7th but I doubt that will happen. I predicted no better than top six for Nathan but not this bad. Raf should be ashamed of himself!!! Now Nathan has to face the press and the public and that will hurt him like hell. Poor kid. Well maybe college is a good idea after all. He has not been the same since last year's 4CC.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Well it looks like it is up to Ice Dance to save the USFSA from the whole carton of Egg On Face.

Again.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

ZOMFG!!! Yuzuru interview in English....”I’M BACK!!”

Why did Nathan attempt a 4F in the warm-up and then changed it to lutz and toeloop for the competition?

After missing the Lutz he had to get his combo so ditched the 4F for the "safer" 4T.

Lemme just take a moment to say that I HOLD THE JUDGING PANEL IN CONTEMPT for giving Boyang less PCS than Kolyada and Rippon.

His performance, his program, and his skating were breathtakingly beautiful.

Go show them tomorrow, Boyang, and WIN EVERYTHING. [emoji630][emoji966][emoji120]

Nathan didn't decide this. If he did - Raf should not have been giving him this freedom.

Yuzuru Hanyu is too adorable.

 

[DiamondDust]

For the last flight of the men:

Yuzuru... sooooooooooooooo SUBLIME and Magnificent!!! A well deserved first place.

Nathan... too many errors. He's lost his chance to medal. The pressure must've gotten to him.

Mikhail... not feeling this program but good effort.

Shoma... his facial expression doesn't change but overall a good skate.

Javier... sooo wonderful and the program is soooo him. Great skate!

Boyang... Awesome jumps and he's improved artistically as well. Great skate!

#teamcricketrules!

 

[Sjs5572]

he planned on switching to toe loop for combo if combo didn't happen with lutz.

 

[Kissx3]

Well, on the plus side for the US, both Adam and Vincent made the 2nd last group. Keegan did too. That's pretty cool.

 

[firal]

CBC ecstatic Patrick in the final flight.

Current top 3 my ideal podium!! Good job tonight boys!

 

[BlackAxel]

Wow, Denis Ten didnt qualify for the FS. Previous 2014 Olympic Bronze Medalist too ... I cant help but feel so bad since he was one of my favorites. I will fondly remember his Caruso SP at Trophee de France. An utter masterpiece!

 

[EdgeCall]

I think that in terms of PB Aliev really isn't in this competition. But, if everyone else falls a few times it could happen.

After what happened in pairs I don't rule out anything any more. And the upcoming quad battle is certainly good for surprises.

 

[GGFan]

The thing that warms my heart the most tonight: Keegan in 10th :luv17:
