2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 1

[Baron Vladimir]

Why Eurosport stream is so late comparing to Russian one :noshake:

 

[FunsizedFlier]

In terms of emptiness it's 10 AM over there, first day, opening ceremony hasn't even happened yet, and out of the events and especially figure skating events, probably...one of...the least interesting? to people. So I'd say it's probably a combination of the newness/small impact of the event and the day/time. I imagine tons of spectators aren't even in the country or city yet.

HHInaB: Well, the skater sorta got into the position, but well sorta not. A Half Hearted Ina Bauer.

 

[Sabrina]

Jun quite good 39.77 TES

 

[Lissy]

It's very fitting that a Korean skater started off the competition. And did so extremely well!

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Eurosport stream showing now!

There's ads blocking the whole screen. How do I get them to go away?

Nice, Wakaba is actually attending the Olympics... oh wait...

I love how your avatar fits this quote.

 

[loop9497]

What a great start. Happy for him.

 

[nolangoh]

Yayyyyyyy JunHwan!!!! Wonderful start!!

 

[lavenderblossom]

BESP is late, back to BBC for me

Cha going strong!

 

[lady_bee]

Thank you, JunHwan, for great start

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Seriously, the NBC needs to fix their mikes because the background noise was drowning out Jun's music

 

[Baron Vladimir]

40 TES for Cha

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Solid start by Cha! It must have been a huge challenge to be the first skater, especially when he's skating at home. I found the music too big for him, but he's young and has time to develop.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Junhwan!

(It feels almost poetic that he's the first person who skated his program on this Olympic's ice.)

 

[MsLayback]

Looks like the OAR box is empty and trying to see what USA skater are in the box

 

[BravesSkateFan]

I quite like the purple arena. Much better than Rio's green.

Or London's pepto bismol pink

 

[jillredhand]

No ISU purple TES box? We have the NBC red light green light toddler box instead? Dangit, I was looking forward to the TES box.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Tara & Johnny back to basics, figure skating 101. I have a feeling we're gonna hear a lot of this over the next couple weeks...

I came across an article the other day about why ice dance is a different sport from figure skating. I died a little on the inside.

Fancy camera angle in the replay!
