2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 1

[Winnie_20]

I'm teary-eyed with seeing Shoma happy after that skate, that little smile. I want to feel that way later these Olympics, too. :luv17:

10 UNO Shoma (JPN)

Music: Winter (from "Four Seasons") by Antonio Vivaldi

Black jumpsuit, sheer top part with purple sparkle

4F - twofoot, stepout, hand down (maybe <)
FCSp
StSq
4T+3T
3A
CCSp
CCoSp

Iffy 4F, otherwise strong skate. Should win the SP

SP: 56.64+46.61 = 103.25, 1/10

 

[zschultz1986]

is it top5 per event to free skate or top 5 overall after all events?

Top 5 countries after all shorts, but you get the points from your actual position for the short.... So USA will receive 4th place points, OAR will get 7th place points.

Edit: OUCH, Russia will get EIGHTH place points. That's rough.

Shoma Uno

Come on, SAVE US, SHOMA!

Two footed and step-out on the 4F. AND the stream froze... Can't see crap. Beautiful 4T+3T. Wonderful spread eagle into the 3A with a spread eagle exit. Only one mistake, which is amazing in this men's event so far.

Clearly 1st place for Shoma, no question. He's the most ready for the Olympics out of the men today. Great intensity, edges, speed, and glide.

 

[twirlingblades]

he's not even going to make the free skate.

Is Aliev skating the free?

 

[jkun]

In an interview with Kaori Sakamoto from practice, she mentioned the ice there was very soft. I wonder if this is the problem tonight too...

IF anything, you'd expect the ice to be very hard. Korean ice tends to be hard. Although I guess they could have tried to compensate and ended up overcompensating.

103.25

 

[Lenny318]

Sooo are the US chances are bronze gone or no cause I cannot keep up with all this and it's only been one portion of the team event...

 

[Wo|flax]

broke.... 100????
ok I guess

(and I love Shoma but)

 

[Mista Ekko]

The main thing we take away from this event as far as the Podium is that Canada is currently safe in the lead

 

[ruffledgrouse]

oh my gosh , that Ashley commercial for Toyota! She's getting more press and airtime and sponsorships than Bradie, Karen and Mirai combined. And she's not even skating.
wow, this is really different than normal.

Yeah, girl, get money

 

[begin]

Live Yuzudaughter commentary: a spread eagle out of a jump? He stole that from Yuzuru! Call the police!

What...what is....this?

 

[gerorin]

Also idk, I love that he's dripping and glittering in crystals

 

[3dsushi]

103 with a step out? I cant....:shocked:

Is okay, Yuna son Yuzu took it from Yuna, and Shoma can pass it on to next baby Japan

 

[casken]

Italy wuzrobbed.

 

[alyssamarie]

Sooo are the US chances are bronze gone or no cause I cannot keep up with all this and it's only been one portion of the team event...

I think there's still a chance bc idk if Israel will stay at the top

 

[breadstal]

Too high....

 

[jkun]

Sooo are the US chances are bronze gone or no cause I cannot keep up with all this and it's only been one portion of the team event...

No. USA is technically in good position because everyone else screwed up so bad as well.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Final verdict: Shoma, Alexei, Cha, Rizzo, and for everyone else.

And in the spirit of the Olympics, I might tune in for some pairs.
