2018 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event Day 3

[skatesofgold]

Mirai's triple axel was amazing, and she didn't let up the entire program. I'm so proud of her. I know I was skeptical of her doing the team event, but she proved me wrong.

 

[Roast Toast]

Saved the 3F-3T!

 

[ks777]

so Mirai is the 1st American to land a 3 axel at the Olympics.

 

[Artistry]

Tonya hit at 1991 Skate America, not at the Olympics.
But Tonya's the only other woman who did it international competition

No, Asada too, several times.

 

[FunsizedFlier]

Not loving this costume. Something about the cap sleeves plus the pony tail, and for some reason the length of the shorts under the skirt make it come off very little girl despite the nice color

I loved the US team's reaction to Mirai's program

Everyone's reactions were priceless. Even Team Canada's!

Yes Kaori!! Getting both 3-3 in bonus

 

[s_parks]

There is some serious Eteri-inspired choreo/presentation/upper body movement going on, but her speed is absolutely mesmerizing.

 

[fleeting]

Honestly, I'm trying to watch Kaori, but I just can't get over the pure happiness in my soul from Mirai!!!

 

[chopinskate]

I did not expect a Kaori meltdown.

 

[beki]

I hate that puppet mime portion where she just looks dead.

 

[Basho]

Finally after so long....I'm so happy for her. Always thought she should have on the podium in 2010.

 

[xeyra]

Kaori's wobbling a bit.

 

[Violet Bliss]

I predicted there would other heroes in this event when Mathman proclaimed D/R heroes of Team Event.

 

[kresslia]

I feel nothing from her skating, as cute as she is.

 

[randomfan]

I did not expect a Kaori meltdown.

This is hardly a meltdown...

I meant American woman! But yes, Mao and Midori did it too and fabulously

 

[twirlingblades]

No, Asada too, several times.

Asada isn’t American

 

[cheerknithanson]

No, Asada too, several times.

I think she meant to say only other American woman.
