2018 Olympic Figure Skating Pairs SP

[shiroKJ]

Wow! The judges really went with them

 

[draqq]

Ryom / Kim

Great height and catch in the opening triple twist. Great unison on the sbs 3T. Clean throw 3Lo, though it could have more ice coverage and height. Good speed through the combo spin, and a strong lift. I like the interpretive steps in the sequence. Very quick into the death spiral.

Certainly the best they have done in the short program. They have strong elements and their expression was quite apparent to Day in the Life, which is a difficult song to express. Their future looks great so long as they can continue to train outside North Korea.

 

[Yatagarasu]

Brilliant result!

And to think, they almost didn't go! Gah. So happy for them.

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Yes, it was near 70 indeed... and they are so happy :agree:

 

[anonymoose_au]

Congrats Ryom and Kim! They're in and the NK Cheerleaders go wild!!!

But Katia and Harley!!! I'm going to cry :sad21: :sad4:

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Dang, these North Koreans are GOOD. :eeking: How’d they get to be so good?

By having you guys train them!

 

[Princessroja]

I think I have something in my eye... they're so happy. It does my heart good. And good for them--I absolutely cannot imagine the pressure on them.

 

[gravy]

Omg, you can hear the arena is ELECTRIC. What a lucky group going after the DPRK.

 

[LittleLotte29]

Alexa and Chris skating in this group! I'm already getting nervous.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Aww, what a special moment. I think I have an eyelash stuck in my eye or something.

It’s probably remnants of the pudding I slingshotted into your eye the other night.

 

[Mista Ekko]

Pretty strong group

I want MT-M 70+

 

[s_parks]

What are they chanting btw?

The skaters' names, Lee Ju Sik! Ryom Tae Ok!

The cheerleaders aren't "cool", people. I wish the skaters well personally but those cheerleaders are brainwashed and coerced to do this.

 

[GGFan]

Time to pour some of my 40 for Lubov and Dylan. Still in my heart

 

[cheerknithanson]

"For Your Entertainment" by Adam Lambert!

 

[Yatagarasu]

It’s probably remnants of the pudding I slingshotted into your eye the other night.

As long as it's not remnants of the clogged toilet...

 

[QuadThrow]

Kirsten and Michael got me with their FP this season.


Hope them to skate well!!

 

[SarahSynchro]

By having you guys train them!

True dat!

I bet Trump is gonna have Bruno Marcotte permanently banned from entering the US now.

 

[Heleng]

Ok, maybe now NBC will start showing some figure skating.

 

[Sophie-Anna]

Great from the NK pair. I've seen them live at Nebelhorn and they are really engaging. They do not NEED that stupid cheer squad. People would cheer for them naturally.

Agree. This trained cheer squad is just terrible. Kim Jong-un's robots...Anyway, it is not the fault of this pair. Their performance was great.

 

[nocturnalis]

Pretty strong group

I want MT-M 70+

I'm rooting for them hardcore.
