2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 2

Had to remember my password. Don't think I've been here since Sochi.

Anyway, wow, I thought Carolina Kostner's short program was stunning. I actually knew that song too because my high school French teacher played it like 14 years ago when her husband died (it was really sad.) Medvedeva was also terrific. Tennell was boring, but nailed her jumps. I do struggle with skaters who made mistakes being placed ahead of her. Of course, Nathan Chen blowing his Short Program meant they had to play it conservative.

Ridiculous scoring.
Osmond combination could not possibly be valid. She not only touched the ice, she stroke the ice, but redecided and made a turn. This must have been counted as
3f-COMBO; then the underrotated 3T must have been counted as a solo jump, and then her 3fLz must have been not considered. Her real score would have been 60+.

Tottally agree, that's the way I saw it but I am not surprised. With Russians not really fighting, Canada will run the table here. I wish Japan and US Feds were better at politics.
 
I think Shibutanis will do the FS as well and will win their Olympic bronze medal here. However, I think for the individual event, it will be Chock/ Bates and Hubell/Donohue fighting for the bronze. Whoever has the best performance.
 
Really, Japan, USA, OAR, and Korea should appeal that judging of Osmond. It was against the rules to count that as a combination.

In turn, Miyahara was ridiculously underscored. Her PCS must have been close to Caro and Med, and def. not behind Osmond. She had an outstanding performance of an outstanding program. The choreo and level of polishness was on the same level as Med's. Absolutely disagree was two carrots; if any, it could be one on 3t, but to me it all looked within the limits.

Da bin - same. Great performance, beautiful program and jumps. She is not a junior skater, and not a debut-maker, why the heck her PCS are so low? Her skating skills improved the mile. She should have been above Osmond.

Jacky Wong explains why it was valid. This is the his explanation: "This is how the combo was counted - there was no weight transfer on the foot down in that combination - the call and the score were correct in this case " He has a quote from the Isu rule book. You can check it out.

In terms of Da bin, I really like her ( I love green so... we have something in common) but she does not have great ice coverage. I think the tech panel actually helped her out here. Her toe was no more rotated than Carolina Kostners but Kostners was called, hers wasn't.

Miyahara is a beauty. so no argument there
 
I just don't like how PCS is used to prop up skaters with technical errors just because they're "mature". Like Alina is the only exception and most figure skating fans hate that she's the exception. I feel like if Alina is getting high PCS, then so should Bradie. It shouldn't matter what your reputation as a junior is.
 
Medvedeva received a +3 on her 2Axel. Just NO. That was a +1 element at most, 0 was really more accurate with her lack of lift and barely rotating it. All of her elements and PCS get overscored, but the amount of undeserved credit she gets there is especially irksome.

You are allowed one-turn on the ice and the free foot **can** touch so long as the weight didn't shift. They made the correct call. The rule should be changed.

It was not a turn. And her leg touched. And I don't know where you get it that it "CAN" touch. But even then, the weight shifted, it was almost like a single jump. It was very clear.

How about if everyone gets PCS according to the categories that they are supposed to be scored in and their individual abilities - not because of age, reputation, etc.
 
I just wish Dabin’s mom couldve watched her daughter skate in her homeland. Very proud of Choi tonight

There was weight transfer.
 
Well, I saw Evgenia's program. Extremely boring and backloaded. Her spin was not anchored and she drifted noticeably along the ice while performing it. She had several ugly and unfinished positions. Her deceleration into jumps is hard for me to watch.

On the plus side, she has extremely fast acceleration. Her jumps and especially landings were solid. Exit flow adequate although nothing remarkable.

It is a shame that is a world record program.
