2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 2

The Shibs should do the free dance. They have the highest scoring potential among the dancers. Sentiment shouldn't be a factor.

The fact is that S/S were beaten by the both H/D and C/B in the FD when they were head to head this year, just saying :confused2:
 
So D/R will do the long too! Very brave considering the individual event is so close for pairs!

We already know Daleman will do the long. Surely with Chan and Virtue/Moir will do the LP/FDs as well?

Is it confirmed? And I think there's a chance Keegan will do the free.
 
When Satoko skates that beautiful and you see the marks...
Like Sandra Bezic said on TSL, Satoko's attention to the music should count, but you wouldn't think so from the scoreboard. Sad.
 
True. I wish Stolbova was here.

Stolbova and Klimov have been inconsistent this season. Withi this lineup Russia isn't really trying to get the gold. I wonder if that was the strategy all along or they changed it after men's.
 
Oh no I was all ready for sleep having forgotten there was still pairs to go. Might fall asleep in spite of myself anyways :c
 
It hurst me that Satoko is a distant 4th in PCS with that program :ddevil:

Yes, I love her too. In fairness though I have heard from friends that seeing her in person is not nearly as amazing as watching her on TV. She just doesn't have the power that Carolina Kostner/ Katelyn Osmond do and that can have a much larger impact in person,

However, I think her interpretation of music mark should always get 10's. She and Carolina are on another level in this regard compared to the other skaters.
 
I'll know after pairs, but Italy has a slight chance at bronze due to her slightly over performing in the short. But it requires the USA dance team to behind both the Russians and Italians and Carolina doing their FS and beating everyone but Alina. Carolina's SP has been pretty inconsistent and Kaori is a beast right now. Right now Kaori has a PB of 142 and Carolina has been close to that but also under that as well.

As for the Canadians, they are looking good for gold. They can afford to be lowly placed in men's so long as Gabby delivers in the FS. However there is a chance for OAR to make up the points if Mikhail wins the men's event and Gabby is in 3rd place. It will all come down to the men.
 
Team Event pairs FS order
GROUP 1
Miu Suzaki/Ryuichi Kihara
Valentina Marchei/Ondrej Hotarek
GROUP 2
Alexa Scimeca Knierim/Chris Knierim
Meagan Duhamel/Eric Radford
Natalia Zabiiako/Alexander Enbert

Why aren't they letting Julianne and Charlie skate the free for Canada? I guess the team medal is ultra important?
 
Not when Chen can't rotate a combo and Mirai skates emotionlessly. The judges lowballed Bradie.

Mirai's scoring potential is in her TES, not her PCS. And I'm sure she could have gotten at least a 30 for her short program--the same as Bradie.
 
The fact is that S/S were beaten by the both H/D and C/B in the FD when they were head to head this year, just saying :confused2:

Yep. Both times they were all head to head they had the lowest full dance score. Sentiment is not a factor, results are.
