[Paulipau]

Hello everyone, so here we go? This is what we have been waiting for for the last 4 years?

All the shady business going on is unfortunately shadowing my excitement...but I'm going to try not let it get to me and sheer on my sweet Katya!

 

[anonymoose_au]

She didn't use the good bit?!

Whyyyyyy?

 

[EdgeCall]

Poor Jenni, what has happened to her? She is capable of so much more.

 

[Jontor]

Oh Jenni! Great skate without those falls.

Yellow alert incoming!

 

[Jasira]

I hope this skate isn´t a bad sign for the rest of the competition.

 

[Winnie_20]

Oh goodness.
*fingers itching on the remote control to switch to Chinese TV drama*
*face palm*
What a nightmare skate.

 

[brens78]

Well, at least she has all colors in the score box.

Who’s doing the clovers, bananas and chillies? 🌶

 

[elektra blue]

I hope this skate isn´t a bad sign for the rest of the competition.

to tell the truth Jenni isn't known to be clean

 

[Mista Ekko]

Eurosport suggesting she should be thankful to Valieva because she wouldn't qualify without her

I mean if you're gonna talk out of your ass guys maybe just don't go there at all...

 

[EdgeCall]

Kurakova starting in the first group of the Olympic FP. That's a heart breaker by itself.

 

[CellarDweller]

Well, that's something I didn't expect to see!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Whoo! Go Katia!!!

 

[brens78]

That dress looks like a school girls dress on top

 

[elektra blue]

i wish someday Katya will show up in a different package

 

[lariko]

Nice! Go, Kurakova!

When Jenni fell on the first 2 elements, I started getting horrible flashbacks to Elizabeth Golding last week.

Thankfully, things started coming together. But then she had another fall.

I had high hopes. 14th position was only 5 points ahead of her after the SP. But, the pressure got to her.

She's disappointed coming off the ice. But, at least there's no tears.

Urgh, Simon again saying that she's only in the FS because of Valieva being here. Clearly nobody has explained to him what I said when he came out with the same rubbish at the end of the SP.

Did I miss a fall? She got 4 points in deductions.

96.07 points in the FS, and 153.04 points overall.

It's not the way she would have wanted her Olympic debut to go, but I'm sure things will go better at her next event.

I really appreciate the CBC coverage of figure skating at this Olympics. I really like Belinda (and Olly too, I think). And I´m happy that I can avoid Daniel Weiss and Katharina Witt

I appreciate CBC stream too, but if SarahSynchro catches us being virtual Canadians we might be given the stink eye

 

[CellarDweller]

Ummmmm....is she trying to portray a 50's housewife on the ice in that outfit?

Very "June Cleaver" look, but she forgot her pearl necklace, you know, so she can clutch it when she gets her scores.

 

[rollerblade]

She didn't use the good bit?!

Whyyyyyy?

Because she's using Rach's Piano Concerto no 2 movement 2.

Your so-called "good bits" is from movement 1.

I was waiting for @4everchan to say this for a while, but apparently he fell asleep at his job.
