2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 1

[Mista Ekko]

S\M are being a little cautious with their entries and that cost Aliona that landing maybe

Still very good skating

 

[OS]

Aliona look so gorgeous in that dress... total vixen! love it...!!

 

[beki]

I literally screamed in shock when she fell

 

[100yen]

Even with that throw...everyone knows Aliona OWNS the ice

 

[SarahSynchro]

I just love that short sit spin in the end of their step sequence.

 

[Yatagarasu]

You're kidding me. Sigh.

 

[MIM]

They have this whole new air of maturity about them, they definitely have that "veteran" aura!

Yes, i cannot agree more. they are not shaken by the Olympic nerves. Speaking of veterans, aliona is on the ice!! Wooo!! That was a nasty fall from the throw..

 

[schizoanalyst]

S/M just seemed a bit off. Aside from the fall - the performance was in-and-out. Playful at times, tentative other times. Even their choreography was executed a bit stiffly. I'm gonna assume they are just warming up for the individual.

 

[shiroKJ]

What's the team standing right now?

 

[LittleLotte29]

I somehow believe this cameraman is an absolute layman who has just noticed all the marvels of new technology and wants to show us all, and I mean ALL, of them.

OMG why this fall, but its Team Event so who cares. Save the clean skate for the individual.

 

[nolangoh]

Despite the (classic Olympic) throw jump fall of Aliona, she is selling the HELL out of this program! Shake the mistake off here like the men!!

 

[OS]

ohh nooooooo

 

[ruffledgrouse]

That lift is insane. He pizza throws her up and then windmills her down

 

[casken]

Is this the pairs equivalent of Ito switching out the Axel for the Lutz in 92?

 

[Bumdid]

Not necessarily worried about these mistakes. All the skaters that aren't from the US, OAR/Russia or Canada can probably take this event as a test run of some sort.

 

[Mrs. P]

I love that program! Let's hope that Savchenko got her errors out of the way!

 

[s_parks]

I feel like Aliona needs to skate with Zhang hao or some other chinese pair man to really chuck her into a good throw.

 

[jillredhand]

That lift is insane. He pizza throws her up and then windmills her down

God, I love that lift. It's such a highlight, it just wipes out any memory of the fall.

 

[Kissx3]

Too bad about the fall but this is pretty much a practice skate for them since Germany is obviously not making the top 5.

 

[snowflake]

LOL, his bowtie matching her lipstick (or the other way round)

better luck next time... great program!
