2018 Olympic Figure Skating Short Dance

[fleeting]

[roommate suspiciously peeks outside door] "Is that.... Despacito? More like Despacit-NO!"
"How did the white guy get on the South Korean team?"
"Why does his shirt look like that?"

A+ commentary from my roommate.

 

[Chemistry66]

was he born in Korea?

Lol no Alex is from the US. Massachusetts. Skated with his twin sister Danielle for a long time.

Will this costume once again be an issue? :shocked:

It doesn't even look good. It looks "plouc".

 

[GGFan]

The Thalia part of that was hot!

 

[Ylyzybyth]

I'd give my all
For a fresh new song
To nahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaght

 

[invisiblespiral]

Yay, no costume errors!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Did Yura have a stumble when she was on her knees?

 

[Mrs. P]

Good job to Min/Gamelin. I hope that qualifies!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Yura's dress held up!!

And what a great a skate!!

I wonder what Alexander's story is, how did he come to be part of the Korean team? Do they live there or train elsewhere.

What planet does Virtue and Moir deserve a level 2 and these teams get level 4. It's the SAME EXACT PANEL.

A planet where V&M are human and didn't complete the features for level for in that moment.

Although yes, Anyasnake, I don't want to say not ALL of them deserve it. I agree with Zarhorksi/Guererro and Coomes/Buckland level 4.

So Tanith is kinda wrong?

 

[beki]

Still shell shocked about Wang/Liu

 

[synteis]

Did Yura have a stumble when she was on her knees?

Yes Kurt and Carol mentioned it as a momentary loss of balance.

They live in Detroit. THey are coached by Igor.

Yura Min used to skate for the U.S. as well. And skated with Tim Koleto for a while for Korea. Gamelin used to skate with his sister Danielle before pairing up with Yura.

please qualify

Min / Gamelin (KOR)

A bit short in some of the edges through the rhumba (Level 3). Nice connections through the partial step and nice edges (Level 3). Good spread eagle with her in a deep bend away from him. Decent sync through the twizzles (Level 4). Good energy through the midline step with good snap (Level 3).

Great performance from them! I'm glad they didn't have an issue with the back clasp of her costume this time around. I like their Latin interpretation, Gamelin's strength, and the connection between them. Strong technical levels as well.

My point is they were unnecessarily strict. And off a suddenly they're not. Virtue and Moir skated the Rhumba pattern well as always, there was nothing that indicated they should have been docked two levels.

If Z/G and C/B had skated in the team event, woudl have they have gotten level 4 there? Probably not.

Two more and your roommate will have guessed all of Beethoven's Five Secrets

 

[machin]

Plus it's the Olys, only 24 teams not 30ish. It's normal for now.

You were so right in the end. Even though half way, it's already clear.
I believe the whole last two groups will be over 70 though if clean. Except GP.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Yes Kurt and Carol mentioned it as a momentary loss of balance.

How will that affect their scores? I'm nervous
