2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 1

[begin]

That was pretty great!

 

[OS]

Nicely done... Ashley is cheering for Moulin Rouge somewhere... BBC lady just wondered why there's not more Lalaland which she thought would be more trendy. Robin uh... replied, it is more Junior (I am like ??? REALLY?! I didn't know Robin is a Lala Snob.)

I had to use the restroom. Glad to her S-K/K landed their jumps.

You have to use the bathroom during EVERY skate now.

Is throwing gifts on the ice not a thing at the Olympics? (Or is it just for the team event)

 

[synteis]

Holy cow their coach has such luscious hair??? I kept being distracted by how shiny and beautifully curled at the ends it was.

Mirai’s cheering is so cute

They nailed the elements mostly, but yeah... not amazing somehow. Good on getting the hard stuff done though.

 

[Mista Ekko]

I think... It could've been higher?

 

[WeirwoodTreeHugger]

That was so needed! Thank you Alexa and Chris!

:thumbsup:

Jeremy Abbott is exactly right. Shoma was very imperfect and that means his PCS should have been more negatively impacted. He definitely was overscored, as was Patrick Chan.

Oh, and they landed their SBS! Grrr. Good job though. Stay healthy Alexa!

strangely this is true, La La Land was v popular in juniors and not so much in seniors

 

[jillredhand]

Go Xiaoyu and Hao!!

 

[Violet Bliss]

Go U U and Hao!

 

[Mista Ekko]

stumble on a single? that's harsh

 

[nocturnalis]

Oh Yu...

Disagree. There was the stumble, and it could've had more attack and expression. Didn't look like a 70+ skate quite.

This music bringing me back memories of I/K free dance music in Sochi
