2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 1

[Artistry]

Does anyone else think this event is lame? Why did they add it?

I went into some sort of coma from this music.

Interesting info from Beeb, Mateo was the roller skating world champion? They think he is a proper figure skater now but bit underwhelmed overall with the program and placed them 3rd.

Jonny said on nbc that Italiann’s music clashes to the ceiling f the building. Is there something wrong with the rink/area acoustically? Or, just general reaction to their music choice?

It’s first time watching anything related to Olympics now.. I have to say the arena is not mind blowing... I like purple but... maybe I had too high expectation??

Ugh NBC is so nauseating. How many times do they have to repeat US is in 1st place?

I went into some sort of coma from this music.

Like a fugue state?

What a thing to do with your mom XD

Oh yeah...our personal running commentary often involves stating just how beautiful skaters are...

PRESENTATION IS A PART OF THE SPORT TOO. lol

 

[Violet Bliss]

I think many of us need to be hosed down with cold water and put back in our cages, now that Matteo is done skating.

Who let you out of the cage to start with?

I went into some sort of coma from this music.

Indeed. I wonder if the music choice costs them a PCS point or two?!

Hmm... the Kniernans over performed according to my predictions. Add another point to team USA. Take away point from team Italy. But they still look safe for the finals.

I am pretending to be Canadian and liking tv and life better

Not as many times as the mention Nathan’s meltdown. I predict he’s back on the ice as soon as they leave the arena.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Maybe it’s the beer talking, Matteo, but you’ve got a butt that won’t quit. They got these big chewy pretzels here fjdndnssiwksnc firsjwna five dollars!? Get outta here...

(Please lord, someone laugh at my Simpsons reference)

In between screaming NATHAN CHEN NATHAN CHEN NATHANCHEN NATHAANNNNNCHENNNNNNNNNN and then showing the replay of Nathan falling a hundred times.

That's pretty much right on point.

 

[FunsizedFlier]

Here's your reminder not to google search Matteo Guarise because most likely NSFW lol

If you tell me not to push the big red button, I'm gonna push the big red button! So I did and I uh...wow, I was not...WOW. :

6 DELLA MONICA N / GUARISE M (ITA)

2 minor issues

But two point lose, more if you count them over USA...

10 points overall for Italy, for now.

I'm liking the B. Eurosport, not so much talk and they have fancy replays.
