2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 2

[draqq]

Mae Bernice Meite

Leaning severely in the 3F+3T attempt, not sure about the 3T. Okay spins. Tough fall on the 3Lz, doesn't seem around either. But nice 2A. Could be quicker in the step sequence, but she's got very good energy with girls running the world and all.

Slay girl!

 

[synteis]

Oh no, Mae, what's happening with your jumps :C

But I love her StSq and attitude. Plus what a great crowd <3

 

[lavender]

They finally mentioned that Bradie's lacking in other skills. I'm sorry but these reporters are annoying reporting that someone is a gold medal contender. They do not do not do their research even during the Olympics. There's a youtube video where the commentator is saying that Nathan falling on 3 axel is uncharacteristic...like really.:sarcasm:

This was lovely from Gracie Gold

Bradie was so solid. Her spins have been exceptional since I first met her in Chicago. Today was no different.

 

[SarahSynchro]

I skated to Run The World last year. I hate hearing it now.

Oh haaaaaaay, it’s my 5000th post!

 

[invisiblespiral]

Miete.

(She has an odd cover of this music.)

 

[msaidi]

Team France really don't have their head in this game huh?

No :/ they dont realy take it seriously I think it’s a shame they should enjoy it more as they know they have no chance to qualify but they all seemed stressee

Mae if you're gonna do Halo you have to use the Beyonce version. I'll give you props for refusing to pop even if you have no business attempting the jump. No zeros for you.

 

[WeakAnkles]

I don't get why someone would pick a Beyonce song but uses a cover version of it?

She might not have gotten the rights to it, or it was too expensive to use. A cover would be cheaper to use.

 

[twirlingblades]

Everything Bradie does is so blocky and superficial. Technically solid but so uninspiring. This should only place 5th if the other Ladies don't make big mistakes, Bradie should not have been chosen for the event, waste of points for Team USA and doesn't do anything to help them push above Bronze. BLAH.

I don't think Karen or Mirai would've scored any better tbh

 

[100yen]

Really was hoping Mete would do well. She looks so tired

I wonder if she's feeling okay, cause she really did look ill or as if she hasn't gotten enough sleep...

 

[firal]

Again, audience is really something today!

 

[beki]

See that was rough but more entertaining to me than Bradie

Bradie did her job. I'm not sure if either Mirai or Karen would have scored much better, quite frankly.

It's not about the score. It's the placement. Al of them have scored higher than the French and Chinese this season. They just needed to stay in fifth place. Mirai may have scored higher in the short if she could skate like nationals. Her PCS score is 31 this season.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

And now we're back to commercials in the livestream, NBC? Are you going to cut off half of another skater's performance?

 

[TontoK]

Bradie did her job. I'm not sure if either Mirai or Karen would have scored much better, quite frankly.

She did a fine job. Puts the press on the other top teams to go clean. And not just jumps. Spins and footwork all L4.

Laurine: "And I am sitting here on my ... :gaah:"

Laurine is much better I don’t what happend to her jumps this season last season she seemed so well and ready to slay at the olympics (not talking about medals but she was getting better and better)
