[Jasira]

Go Daniel. Have a wonderful skate. Even though your SP makes me miss Kolyada even more

NBC said they were not sending staff to Beijing so I don't think they are in China at all.

There are a handful of people on the ground covering different events.

Wow, how unfortunate that a hole in the ice may keep Hanyu from gold.

They’re all skating on the same ice.


And let’s not blame the ice.

You could tell at the beginning with his salchow prep motions that he was simply not confident with the timing of his jump.

Wasn’t there a flood and only like 2 skaters before him? Really bad luck then to land in a hole.

How are the world rankings so off? I don't understand what this number really means....

I am waiting for Nathan to go clean on his first jumping pass.

all of his jumping passes please.

My boyfriend has described one of Nathan Chen's old Rocketman shirts as a reverse bumblebee.

He has to wear the shirt his mom made. I insist.

[Greengemmonster]

Do I have one?

Annnd after not doing it the whole time the stream decides to insert as breaks now.

Oh phew I didn't miss the start of any skates.

In other news Olly says "sixth" in an interesting manner.

Heh Belinda's coming for Moris's quads. Would Moris gave benefited from trying to learn another edge quad rather than the toe?

I love Belinda. So much shade. No mean girl vibes though!

[nickp91]

Is Nathan Chen channeling Dick Button with his tuxedo?

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Daniel is here to do yoga to make us all more relaxed!

I could use both...

 

[anonymoose_au]

OK here we go!

My stream played another ad just then. I almost freaked!

Woah Daniel so close to the boards!

In other news, I've grown to like this program.

Fine, just leave Shoma to me

My roommate and I are so confused about the world rankings...

That's obviously not correct.

I'm making a coffee now as well and have to start working in two hours time. Luckily, I'm still working from home.

Mine starts 37 mins later which is exactly when it ends. I need to walk in middle tempo, just to arrive work ten minutes later. I'm going to apologize from my colleagues saying this was an olympic morning.
