2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 1

[3dsushi]

If the team event is a collection of a disaster i hope the they all dump them here and the individual one will be a good one

Yeah I hope they're saving it for the the individual event.

 

[Mista Ekko]

Kolyada has a real shot here

But Patrick won't be as far as we thought a few minutes ago

I missed Nathan!

What happened?

 

[draqq]

Nathan Chen

4F+2T, a bit scratchy on the landing. 2T pop on the quad, ouch. Hard fall on the 3A. Spins were not as precise as I've seen before nor the footwork as exuberant as he has done before.

Didn't expect Chen to have such a rough skate. That pop on the quad toe has been haunting him all season and it was no different this time around. He lost about 14 points on the base value with the pop and the 2T. That fall on the 3A will haunt him as well. I'm really hoping this doesn't mean he's too gassed at this point in the season.

Patrick may have given up the gold and Nathan the bronze.

 

[BabblingBrook]

Ahh this Visa ad's music gives me an earworm every time

[silverfoxes]

[shiroKJ]

This is the Olympics!!

People always underestimate the Olympic pressure. :noshake:

 

[Tastetherainbow]

Judges are not giving these skaters ANY favors! Wow! This scoring is quite nice!

 

[gerorin]

Is he exhausted? He's not injured or anything right?

 

[jkun]

lol that performance sucked. Not sure why he's ahead of the guys with 77.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

What if Bychenko wins the SP today and NBC didn't show him? :con2:

Nemesis is the mother of.....KARMAAAAAA

 

[SarahSynchro]

Wow, third.

 

[Chemistry66]

I missed Nathan!

What happened?

Popped his solo jump to a 2T, fell on his 3A

 

[Bumdid]

Lmao. I mean 43 pcs is still pretty high for this.

 

[lavenderblossom]

Kolyada up. Somehow I already know it'll be an unmitigated disaster

and if it's not I'll be delighted and pleasantly surprised.

 

[gravy]

what on earth just happened?

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

I think it's the international feed. It's the Aussie woman who commentates on the Olympic YouTube Channel videos from Sochi.

 

[100yen]

This is a complete splatfest. :disapp:

 

[myself]

OMG I was just going to say the same thing.

Someone please tell NBC that there are other skaters in the world besides Chen. I want to watch the whole competition, not the Nathan Chen show. smh

I don't think they even mentioned Shoma yet? How?
