If Caro skates the free and really delivers...?The stars have to really align but could Italy get a team medal here?

No! We don’t need any more salt around here, not even a single grain of it!
Some of the posts tonight just in this thread...

Skate of the night for me was the Italians. That was well skated and fun to watch.
US better step up the game, Italy is breathing down their necks.

Does Caro will skate FS?
I'm still nervous because our ladies and men definitely could come in 5th in their segments. If we use Keegan...

It would be amazing if this Italian team could get Olympic medals (If they all seriously nail it tomorrow)
But then i remember it would be at the expense of the US team and that gives me very bad shivers
They should probably get Nathan to do the free now
He could beat the lot while Adam might finish 4th just above Rizzo

Valentina and Ondrej were my highlights tonight! They did amazing
Overall it was a pretty good day of skating, and it's getting me excited for individual events

That's true, but they'd need to come in 5th with the russians on top, and expect a good result out of ID for OAR. It's not impossible? But at this point not very likely. Stranger things have happened, though.

Strategy wise. She has to.
If not, well...it would depend on their men and ice dance.

Yeah, I’m torn between Chiddy and Keegan.
I think Gabby will skate the free tomorrow.
I also could see V/M sitting out.... but I’m uncertain if Piper and Paul, or Kaitlyn and my dreamboat twizzle borking husband Andrew would make a negative “difference”, points wise?
Do the feds have to submit their free program rosters for all four events all at once? Or can they pick and choose after each event based on placements as the competition goes along?

They are not independent athletes. The name of their team is literally Olympic Athletes of Russia. How many times they have to say it?

Small chance, but actually not unfathomable! I did it in my head quickly so maybe I'm wrong - but the most plausible path is Caro goes 2nd in the LP (not impossible) with Russia 1st, Canada 3rd, and Japan 4th, and Russia is put above the Shibs (seeming more and more likely). Than Rizzo just has to come in 4th I think, which isn't unthinkable.

Did anyone see Gabby or Patrick around??? Maybe (hopefully) resting for the team event?
