team is just practice it's ok

 

[lavenderblossom]

Nerves must have eaten him alive
Wasn't he nervous at Worlds 2017 too? I was afraid of this.

 

[BabblingBrook]

Still love this program but he's not having as much fun as he usually is skating it, I hope he can do it in the individual event (poor boy...)

 

[Mista Ekko]

Dear judges,
Don't put this in first place. C'mon.

I can't see it above patrick

 

[nolangoh]

It's ok Nathan, this event is a mistake dumpster. Shake them off here!

 

[Anyasnake]

Did Nathan just lose to Patrick?

He probably should

Well technically no, but Patrick got 81 (and 45 PCS with 2 falls...) so probably

OK, guys will do their best in the individual event. They will. They will.

They haven't in over four years. Why suddenly start now?

 

[EdgeCall]

Looking at state of things I think Kolyada will definitely not stay clean. Question is if Shoma can cut it.

 

[MalAssada]

Seriously, does everyone prerotates?

 

[Latremu]

Nathan... Well, I hope this performance allows him to shake off the nerves in the individual event.

 

[moonvine]

what on earth just happened?

Also, for those watching on NBC online, who are the commentators? I assume this is the international feed?

 

[OS]

Dear judges,
Don't put this in first place. C'mon.

not going to happen don't worry. That was a disastah. Nathen looks so off, he was so much better earlier in the season. Nerves?

 

[alyssamarie]

Got to say today wasn't his best. Never saw him fall like that before. Hoping he can come through in singles

 

[readernick]

I can't see it above patrick

Yes, I think third place.

 

[twirlingblades]

I know he has boot issues and stuff, but constantly changing his programs around probably doesn't help that much. There isn't any way to be automatic...

 

[yude]

This is the Olympics!!
