2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 1

[Button's Niece]

"When one makes the mistake, it counts for both"

I forget who it was earlier this season that really eff'd up their score because one person did a 3-1 and the other did a 2-2 so they only got credit for a 2-1

Pretty sure that was the Knierims - He did the double-double, she did the 3-1

ETA: Just checked: It was their US Nationals free skate

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

I really love the team event though I wish it was second so that countries would actually send their best. The whole atmosphere of the teams cheering, what it seems to bring out of the skaters (a lot of my favourite performances are from Team Trophy events), that we get to watch more Olympic FSing , the strategizing, how it helps develop areas for countries that traditionally only focus on some but not all FSing disciplines, ...

Hopefully they'll polish it up a bit more this upcoming quad and some of the criticisms will be addressed.

They call him 'lumberjack' at German Eurosport.

He's not due for another 7 years for a fall. That must be reassuring!

This is a dreadful cover of all you need is love.

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

Probably about as many times as they'll mention Tara's OGM during the ladies' event...

Who let you out of the cage to start with?

The Baha Men. They let me out, along with the dogs, back in 1999.

That was super lame, even by my standards.

Nothing beats that mention. Nothing. We've already run out of stars in this galaxy to count that one.

Quick question. What happens if two teams have the same total before the free programs? Do both advance or is there some sort of tiebreak?

I was thinking of the dogs too.

Yep. As soon as they started talking about how Alina is 15, Tom quickly said that she’s technically older than Tara was so Tara’s “record” won’t be beaten.

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. :

Lol I do this every competition he's in because WOW

Pretty sure that was the Knierims - He did the double-double, she did the 3-1

Thanks! I could have sworn it was a US pair but couldn't remember exactly who.

I do too. I was hoping it wouldn't last. Perhaps entertaining if they didn't do the same programs they will do in the individual competition.

Morning all! I made it. What did I miss so far? How did the boys do?
