2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 3

[Anyasnake]

Agreed. It's not that V/M are overscored, it's more that Shibs are underscored. They have very clean technique, and have great PCS, too. Yesterday was fair, though. I'm not into Ice Dance, but this seems about right.

Don't know about underscoring, but this is a case of Worlds 2017 where almost everyone got weird low levels after performing the best step sequences of the year. The grey zone between level 3 and 4 is unexplicable if you don't swallow the ISU rulebook.

Well that definitely just gave italy a leg up.

 

[kresslia]

It's so upsetting that even Rizzo concerns me bc the state of Patrick is so uncertain...

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Wow - Great job by Matteo! I really didn't know much about him before, but I have been really impressed with how he's held it together at the Olympics. He was very solid in this program! I found it a bit snoozy (and him a bit slow) until 'Help', but well done!

Now we bring the music back to the 21st century with some Coldplay. :hap93:

 

[el henry]

Forza, Matteo!
You’re happy, I’m happy, such a presence:agree:

Commentator: He could not have jumped any better, he could not have spun any better, he could not have skated any better.

No, they couldn't have. They have to change the ladies, and the pairs had to be changed as Tarasova got a mild injury. So that's the 2 allowed changes.

Oh no, what happened to Tarasova?

 

[Princessroja]

What fun from Matteo! He could definitely sell it a bit more in his upper body but what a great skate.

Yulia: "i was in good shape and decided to try quads. I thought my brains would go out through my ears."

 

[Spirals for Miles]

I really love Matteo!

 

[FunsizedFlier]

HA at NBC apparently acknowledging that people are getting annoyed with their constant repetitious explanations of basic concepts.

"And if you're a figure skating fan, we KNOW you know this already.

 

[clairexmarie]

The support from the Italian team is adorable

 

[invisiblespiral]

I was folding laundry during Rizzo and Kolyada.

Rizzo, and I'm glad Mika rebounded in the FS.

 

[Mista Ekko]

It's so upsetting that even Rizzo concerns me bc the state of Patrick is so uncertain...

It's really really time for Patrick to hand in a relatively clean skate

 

[lavenderblossom]

Matteo dancing off the ice lol

Robin that was not a good air position on 3A, it was tilting and great that he landed it but :v

 

[AngelENTL]

How wonderful for Matteo! Great skate!

 

[Ylyzybyth]

I loved that Beatles program! Refresh-ZING!

Oh, I mean in general, I think the Shibs should be getting a couple points higher in PCS, whereas V/M deserve the 59s they get.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Um, that was a bit low... Alina Zagitova's scored higher without 3As...
