2022 Olympics Team Event Day3: Free Dance

[satine]

Well no jumps or lifts over the head so IMO dance is calmer and less wacky costumes in the FD vs. the RD.

True, but then we have the women to skate

I'm still salty at how mean people on Twitter and Instagram are to Team KoKo, so I'm super happy at how beautifully they're going!

FYI : the French CBC commentator said this was exquisite

 

[Baron Vladimir]

So, Japan and USA are equal at this point. It is indeed a battle for a silver as we expected. So let the battle begin

 

[s_parks]

Well K/K were all very pleasant and they've certainly improved, but that just lacked magic.

Beautiful costumes though.

Yeah I just don't think they have an x-factor tbh.

I thought the US had the tiebreak with Japan -- 2 first places. But Terry Gannon keeps saying the US doesn't???

KOMATSUBARA Misato / KOLETO Tim (JPN)

No major mistakes and elaborate beading for their kimono-themed costumes! The choreography is a bit simple with the open holds and the music has so many tempo changes, but the choreo doesn't let them change pace between each piece all that much. Good flow overall, just not a lot of waltz in the circular step. I think they skated up to their best, though.

 

[ffloweer]

I love their costumes, they are so beautiful!

The CBC stream keeps stalling out on me...

I couldn't load it last night.

Me the entire time: ooh pretty costumes Misato is so gorgeous Tim looks far better here than in the rhythm dance costume very pretty oooohhhh

 

[WeakAnkles]

Oops was that a fall in the end there? I never know the rules now there's a choreo slide move happening!

Balance check. If I remember correctly as long as she doesn't touch down to balance herself it's not technically a fall, but I'm SO out of practice with the rules.

I enjoyed that program! Lovely music. Good skate for K/K.

 

[Amei]

I forgot about this mullet between today and the RD...

 

[flipsydoodle]

Yeah I just don't think they have an x-factor tbh.

I would enthusiastically watch that program again.

 

[satine]

-5 for this mullet, sorry not sorry.

OMG, Liu Xinyu is so attractive! So many handsome figure skaters!! <3

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Aww the Chinese cheer squad! Oh wow these costumes are just stunning as well

You don't dig the rainbow belt?

OK go Wang and Liu!

Sounds like there's a good number of people in the arena.

 

[museksk8r]

I love their costumes too! Blue, green, black and silver are my favorite colors!

 

[4everchan]

Wang and Liu also have gorgeous costumes. Not sure his Elvis hair is my cup of tea though

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

OMG cartwheel over knee
