2022 Olympics: Women's Free Skate

[OS]

Oh noo.... what a pity on the last jump, stupid loop!! The rest has some nice highliight parts. Hope she is okay with her performance.

 

[Chris Cooper]

I can't understand why Karen hasn't subbed out the loop for a flip or salchow in the short and free after the problems she had in the team event. Really disappointed for her. She's a gorgeous skater and brings so much to the sport.

I see bananas aren’t being rationed tonight, perhaps the chillies are?

 

[auser]

Thanks Karen for the gorgeous spins, spirals, and Ena Bauer. Happy Olympics!

'Immense height on Triple Lutz'....and still yellow from potential UR. Story of Karen's life.

Sad, I like her the most out of US women. But the TES isn't high....

 

[Baron Vladimir]

It will be a carrot cake for Karen too

Yes, definitely very low on chilies. The bananas are multiplying like Tribbles!

 

[Princessroja]

Ouch, hard fall.

So far, except for Katya and Lindsey, this has been a disappointing free skate to watch. I'm sure the skaters are much more disappointed though, to be fair.

Happy to see Jason cheering Karen Chen.
Amazing spins and spirals.

 

[Jontor]

Oh Karen, dont cry...

 

[elektra blue]

lunch break, i'm going to miss the first skater in next group see you later

American ladies seeing new low in standings. Yeowza.

And people used to think 2010 was bad for US ladies.

 

[Paulipau]

KURAKOVA KILL COUNT 11!

 

[Mista Ekko]

Too bad Karen couldn't crack any of her Olympic skates (ever, I think)

Quite incredible for Kurakova though

 

[CellarDweller]

nothing can beat a banana queen comment with a freddie mercury in bananas as a reply, sorry

*steps up to microphone at the after-event press conference*

It's a relief to know that the gold medal is still mine, after a minor dispute from another competitor. I will wear it with pride.

Kurakova has moved up from 24th to (at least) 13th Wow

 

[Jasira]

I´m starting to get nervous. Too bad, it´s too early for a drink (1 p.m)

 

[LiamForeman]

I don't see how Karen can pull ahead with those mistakes.

Nope, she'll likely be around 18th. Not bad for an Olympic Silver team medalist. She's happy. Back to Cornell.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Stop trying to influence the judges. I got higher marks because my performance came in later.

Good comeback. And so true, unfortunately.

To be fair, that combination was very clever. I have to take my hat off to @CellarDweller for thinking of it.

But, at least mine is the right colour.

I think we better quit this line of conversation now, because it is maybe a bit close to the edge to be comparing bananas after we were comparing the sizes of cathedrals earlier...

She was clean and no one else has matched that. And it was only 6 points up to 10th place for her so she can probably climb into the top 10.
