2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 1

breaks 80

 

[GGFan]

Love T/M's skating skills, twist, and jumps, but I don't care for them being reward like the top two teams in the world. I don't think their programs and interpretation compare.

To my fellow NBC viewers. Did anyone know it's the 20th anniversary of Tara's win? Did anyone hear about this? It seems like this is something we'd all like to hear about a few dozen times? So yes, I will confirm, this is indeed the 20th anniversary of Tara's win. You're welcome.

Wether the US could take advantage and go for Silver is probably up to
how awesome of a SP can Bradie actually skate

If she's like 6th it'll be gone

Did you hear that Nathan Chen fell and had a disappointing performance too?

 

[moonvine]

Maybe it's because of the broadcast, but that crowd seems dead

The arena is mostly empty.

 

[Mrs. P]

Depending how Bradie and Shibs do, the U.S. has some interesting decisions to make....

 

[LadyB]

I totally love the Russian supporters. That was a fine performance indeed.
Now I'm gonna watch what I've missed (or maybe I shouldn't...). Then getting ready for work. Soooo NOT in the mood. Cheers guys, this was our Olympics warm up.

 

[GGFan]

So basically by being consistent (i.e. mediocre) in both events we ended up in 2nd. Sounds about right for the Trump era. USA! USA!

 

[SarahSynchro]

I'd rather not listen to k.d. lang sing hallelujah, but same, can't wait to watch S/H

WHAT?! I will fight you! Don’t tell me you prefer the Jeff Buckley version! :disapp:

 

[LadyB]

I just realised the Knierims did well. Wow, I'm genuinely pleased for them. I like them a lot.

 

[schizoanalyst]

I think all of this makes it more like Bradie does both events, which would make me a bit sad since it would mean no medal for Mirai =(

 

[Corwin]

I predict a second place for Russians, Kolyada falls was critical...and this without Ice dance, Canada has huge advantage in this.

Misha Misha....

 

[GGFan]

Despite some of the hot messes I witnessed tonight I can wake up in the morning and look myself in the mirror knowing that I didn't listen to Johnny and Tara :dev2:

 

[*~RussianBleux~*]

So not ready for the Russians to win the OGM in pairs again, especially this team with that free skate.

 

[readernick]

I feel like Canada is almost a sure thing for the Gold medal now. Can't be sure because anything can happen but at least in the short:

17+10(Dance)+9/8/7(woman's-Katelyn is generally great in the short)= 36/35/34

OAR

13+10(ladies-if Medvedeva almost certainly-if Alina no guarantee) +6/7/8 (Dance)=31/30/29

USA

14+9(dance-because almost any US team will be 2nd now that the French are out)+ 5/6/7(ladies)=30/29/28

 

[Mista Ekko]

Depending how Bradie and Shibs do, the U.S. has some interesting decisions to make....

I can't possibly imagine the Shibs being lower than 3rd (Wait.. Are P\C in this?)

But i can possibly imagine the Russians ending up behind the Italians (Probably not though)
