At this point, let's just give Paul Fentz the gold medal, give Yuzuru an automatic Q for the GPF and call it a day, folks. This is too much of a mess. [emoji23]

Did Julian's coach just swear there?

That's a very nice combo spin at the end there.

Also...Paul and Julian should swap shirts maybe!

 

[Metis]

Wouldn't that be fabulous?! If he will emerge as better that other ones, why not?

I firmly believe in the best of the competition winning. I just can’t imagine the salt that Fentz medaling would bring to predictions. [emoji23]

 

[Mrs. P]

Apparently people only skate well in North America.

Orser needs to grab Yuzu by the shoulders, spin him around, and send him AWAY from this ice... I’m becoming afraid of a repeat of last year now.

Y'all, stop putting even more pressure on Kolyada, he already has to save all of Russian men's figure skating and cure my depression, now he has to save this event too?

nah, as in NHK this is probably a sacrifice for awesome ladies event.
Men pairs and dance will bomb, and then ladies will slay.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Is this a case of NHK, 'I made it bad for the men!' and Rostelecom saying 'Hold my beer?'

Maybe they decided to go badly so Trophy France wouldn't feel so bad about life

Here comes Majorov! I hope he brings out the Majorov jump again, that thing is cool.

 

[Mrs. P]

European uncles rise!

 

[Metis]

Majorov’s pleather pants take me to my happy memories of boybandom and everyone singing I Want It That Way in elementary school.

 

[Yuzuruu]

NO. Just no.

You will always have avatar material though

 

[Mohacz]

Men are simply hopeless...

 

[WeakAnkles]

Marjarov really does look like a buff Mickey Rooney. It's kinda eerie.

 

[Mrs. P]

Majorov making Swedish fed regret taking away his olympic spot.

He got StSq4!

 

[anonymoose_au]

I always LOL at Alexander's transition into the 3A, it's like he wants to get his leg up there for a Alina Z tribute Charlotte, but just can't make it.

But werk this step sequence, Alexander, you da man!

 

[Metis]

New tes lead

 

[Yuzuruu]

nah, as in NHK this is probably a sacrifice for awesome ladies event.

What?! NO! just... no!

Yuzu please slay! Also Kolyada need some friggin redemption!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Almost clean, so... um, saved the event?

 

[WeakAnkles]

Majorov making Swedish fed regret taking away his olympic spot.

He should. It deserves it. Best part of the program for me.

 

[Metis]

He should. It deserves it. Best part of the program for me.

Majorov ain’t perfect, but he can sell me those step sequences all day long.
