2022 Olympics Team Event Day1: Pairs Short Program

[LadyB]

Oh, Matteo!!! Good luck!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Oooh just into second, Japan's silver is probably gone barring disasters in the free or the women

 

[museksk8r]

I would have given the edge to M/K. They have the more complex program and more intricate transitions and the most joy.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Good luck Nicole and Matteo! You can do it!

 

[Haikush]

Wow, so close between the two teams. Arguments could be made either way.

Should have gone first...more PCS

ita opening the door

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Oof, not looking good for Team Italy right now…

 

[karne]

And just as I was thinking this was a really good pairs comp the Italians start falling apart.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Yikes, it looks like her blade just slipped out from under her on that takeoff

ahh... and now the throw

 

[Jasira]

Why do so many skaters chose crapy covers instead of the original?

 

[4everchan]

Japan will overtake Italy now

Could Canada capitalise?

 

[moonkat]

italy really loves the matching costumes
thought i was looking at hope and legacy

 

[museksk8r]

It’s so sad to see how D M/G have really struggled since the 2018 season.

 

[Jammers]

US has put itself into a great position for at least a Silver medal with the way these skaters are laying it down in the ice tonight. The ladies just have to hold serve.

 

[GGFan]

It’s been tough to watch DM/G these past couple years. Perhaps injuries and age has gotten to them. I hope they get to enjoy this last Olympic experience.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Sad for D-M/G

(but their costumes do go very well with the arena?)

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Nicole looked like she got stuck in her own head after the first mistake. Her face just had this 1000 yard stare
