2022 Olympics: Men's Free Skate

[Janice4th]

This music is a nightmare, a very boring nightmare...

I thought I was the only one who thought the music was bad.

Oh wow he nicked a hole in the boards

RIZZO Matteo (ITA)

That popped 3T+2T and unexpected fall getting too close to the boards really knocked the wind out of him. He still had the nerve and fight to land the rest of the jumps - 3F, 3Lo, 3Lz+3T, 3A+1Lo+3S (how did he save that 3A landing into the Euler!), 2A, and 3A. They weren't up to the normal ride-out he gets, the same goes for his edge quality, but I think he was late the entire program due to that wonky fall. Still, the quiet music emphasizes his soft edgework that is smooth and buttery. At least he didn't fall on an element!

Why is Adam’s coach holding a chicken? Any guesses?

I bet it's @Jontor famous .

 

[lariko]

Yeah, Mozalev told the reporters he is sick, please, not Covid

LOL the French...

Halfway Mark...I'm still sad about Mark.

At this point do we need to burn some sage or have the officials at the rink do a full blown exorcism to cast out the rink gremlins?

He hit Yuzu gulch!

 

[nickp91]

2 more groups!! And we'll have the winner on the podium!!!

 

[CellarDweller]

For those watching on USA Network in the states, they just said you need to switch to NBC to watch the rest of the men compete.

 

[4everchan]

Yeah, Mozalev told the reporters he is sick, please, not Covid

probably not... feeling sick probably equals mandatory tests...

 

[16Olympics]

Yuzu is in the next group. Fireworks? We'll see.

Back from my nap. How many cloverfests are we up to? One?

 

[skatedreamer]

matteo loves the board.... as a fan of two skaters (ito, chan) who were in committed relationships with the board, i feel for him

But yikes, I still remember Midori's crash at Worlds. Felt so bad for her that day!

 

[labgoat]

big jumps for Adam so far... only thing missing in this program is Chock

I believe she has been captured by an astronaut

One. Brendan.

 

[Weathergal]

Mark is one who we will see more of in the next 4 years. He's young and can improve.

I hope you're right!

 

[Jasira]

Okay, my favorites skated, so I could go to bed. But I think, after all the drama today I need some nice relaxed skating to cheer me up.

Normally I would say we need Pooh to grace the ice But I guess sage will have to do.

 

[Florian]

As I expected it, many mistakes in this free skate. I think Brendan Kerry can be the happiest out of those two groups.
