Shiffrin is a super star. US pairs team, not so much.

Riku does karate? How awesome is that!

Whoo yeah! Into the lead!

OK let's be cool, guys, be cool...

I do karate.

I hope Moskvina will arrive soon. It would be sad if Mishina/Galliamov had to skate the individual event without her.

My boyfriend: "I want to see a pairs team do reverse throws."

Yes!!! I bet there is a way to make that work. Get on it! Beautiful costume choices in this group but I do wonder if the blue of M/G is too close to the color of the arena?

 

[Seven Sisters]

Since when do M/G have blue costumes for this? Am I just behind the times?

Why weren't Cain-Gribble/Leduc chosen for the team event, given that they are the national champs? No hate for K/F, I'm just wondering if anyone knows.

Because the US swapped Vincent in for Nathan, USA only had one other swap and it was promised to Chock and Bates.

Aren't Nastya and Sasha's new costumes gorgeous though!

No one knows why USFS does what it does. But although I love Ash and Tim I think Alexa and Chris are the stronger pair.

First time. They are new for the Olympics.

I guess I will have to watch this on the replays since NBC is not airing it live. A big thanks for the posters providing comments and play by play.

M/K were awesome. Judges, I'm ready for y'all to give them the PCS from here on out.

 

[moonvine]

Is that a Fox stuffie?

 

[Mista Ekko]

By the way, What ever happened Zhang\Yu?

I think it is strange that they show more skating in Germany than in the USA.

i think creative thinking is a fine quality for a BF to have!

Higher scores throughout the season, basically. The two top dance teams are extremely evenly matched, so make sense to swap out, and Nathan needed rest before the individual event.

I think Shizuka or kostner could easily throw Shoma Uno around since they are much taller than him.

 

[satine]

Who could realistically do them?

No one that I know of, which is one reason why it would be incredible to see!

 

[s_parks]

I like M/G's new costumes better but they also match the boards...hmm...
