I saw Yuzuru on ice..in Sochi

 

[Oreo]

Tara, please stop yapping so much. Are the producers behind the scenes telling you to do so through your earpiece? If not, please tone it down. Now. Otherwise it’s going to be a long (and really annoying) two and a half weeks. Thank you.

So when will the pairs be shown? In an hour or so?

 

[Violet Bliss]

I am more nervous for the Pairs as errors are more dangerous than Men's splatfest.

 

[DorYiu]

Hello! Can anyone share a link on where they watch the event online? Thank you.

Search “FS live” in YouTube.

Thank goodness we ended on a good note. Not perfect but good.
Bychenko Cha and Rizzo skated good too. The rest were a MESS.

Agree! I am so glad I wake up early to see Cha’s SP, he stay clam and did his best, not the most technically difficult SP, but it’s clean, well skated. Good job for Cha’s first Oly at home!

My friends in real in-person life are talking about how they don't like Johnny and Tara commentating and I'm like YOU HAVE NO IDEA

 

[Marius]

So when will the pairs be shown? In an hour or so?

It should start again in about 20 minutes!

Shoma's costume with purple shade on the lapels looked quite nice with the purple rink, I must say.

 

[Blades of Passion]

So after the very first event, with Canada's man delivering an awful performance, they've already like won the Gold medal. The structure of this event is just ridiculous.

 

[Alifyre]

Man, I was so sad I had rehearsal all through the men's team event but reading through this? Almost makes me glad I couldn't watch. Sounds like the whole thing, save for a couple sparkling moments, was an unmitigated disaster.... I really hope the individual event is better than this

 

[WeirwoodTreeHugger]

Hot mess. Pretty much all around. Wow.

 

[OS]

Peggy Fleming.

Yuna is a Peggy Daughter then, even inspired her Olympic costumes

 

[moonvine]

honestly i don't get this priveledge

I just figured they had bought x number of spots and had to fill them, and have a contract with her. I'd rather see Apolo Anton Ohno shill chocolate. Mmmm...Apolo and chocolate..

 

[cheerknithanson]

Wait, commentators on Eurosport are saying that SP points are carried into FS. Any true to that?

Yeah. It's the overall points from all 8 events (men's SP/FP, ladies SP/FP, pairs SP/FP, and ice dance SD/FD).

 

[chopinskate]

Nathan :O

 

[anonymoose_au]

Have to go to work so only tuned in for a second on Ausse TV Channel 7 and some dude with an American accent is commentating with Belinda Noonan! Anyone know who it is?

 

[NoNameFace]

I can't believe how nonchalant I am about the Olympics. hwell:

Maybe the pairs drama will ruffle my feathers and get my anxiety going for the men's event.

Same here, not being an invested fan in any particular skaters is a blessing
I am just a fan of particular programs and wish they would be skated great, it's just not that simple

 

[s_parks]

So when will the pairs be shown? In an hour or so?

Nope, in just a couple of minutes; ice resurfacing right now.

Good luck to all the pairs, the superior discipline.

 

[purplecat]

I'm so disappointed for Nathan. Poor guy - hope he can shake it off for the individual. And I'm disappointed in general for that whole Men's SP. Yikes! Hope the pairs will be a little cleaner.
