Quite apart from the OG. Did anyone else see this? The Gabrielle Daelman Story.

I have just watched the last two groups (will catch up on the rest another time). We deserved medal for Piper and Paul. Deserved based on how they and the other teams skated, not because of politics or sympathy or anything else. That is how I like medals to be won.

I'm so happy about Piper and Paul's medal. They definitely created "the moment" of the free dance for me.

I'm selfishly grateful to them because I can now relax and enjoy the rest of the competitions. Of course I want the Canadian skaters to do well, but I don't expect any more medals, and medal/no medal (or for some people gold/silver) is the most nerve-racking divide. So I will watch the rest of the competitions and cheer on my favorites (Canadian and other) without becoming too over-invested.

Deanna and Max had their first practice! They took out the backflip. Also Deanna says she did not and does not have a concussion.

Jackie Wong says their practice looked totally normal and just from seeing this one wouldn't know they were close to not making it there.

Also a thread of what's been said in the mixed zone:

^^ artists love it when skaters do their work and click and clear their music

nice gesture.

Both excited and nervous to watch the men's Free. So want Stephen to have a skate like he did in the Team event... or maybe even a bit better. If he does that he should set himself up well for top ten at worlds. He is an example of sending our skaters out. He was well seen this season and because of his results got to do a non-host GP where he won a medal. He also shows that consistency is important with getting high marks.

I am stunned at what I have just seen. Gogolev 5th and just 1.12 points off an Olympic medal!

 

[Colonel Green]

If you had told Stephen he'd be fifth at his first Olympics, he'd take that every day of the week.

Conversely, if he had just landed that triple loop cleanly, he would be an Olympic bronze medalist, and that's surely going to sting a little.

 

[HeadBanger]

Fifth overall and 2nd best free skate... in perhaps the most bats*** men's free skate in history

Very proud of Stephen! Lesson to all naysayers who said that he might not even get to FS.
Way to perform at his first Olympics, not 2, but 4 great programs and come in 5th (and second in FS)!

 

[ladyjane]

Stephen came through. What a skate!

 

[Sackie]

WOW - Just getting back form dinner here and checked the results. I am in shock. In fact I didn't see Stephen's name at first in the free skate list, cause I was looking further down the list. This really sets Gogo up for worlds. Will have to go and watch some of the performances now. Just think if Stephen had the short he did in the Team event he would have gotten the bronze medal.

Really hope someone sits down and talks harshly with the CAN judges. The 2nd lowest Tes score came from the CAN judge. Most other countries score their own the highest or at least not the lowest.

I'm about to start a petition... Medal for Gogo

Stephen was just 1.12 off the 3rd place....if only CAN judge would have been more biased towards his own...haha

Actually it was the level 2 spin that got him

Or PCS un the sp

I kind of hope that Stephen hasn't realised that a clean 3Lo or a higher spin level might have got him a medal. I would like him to be able to really enjoy the huge success he has just had at the Olympics, rather than have him feeling like it wasn't quite good enough.
