Mikhail Shaidorov, the new Olympic champion, talking about Yuzu being his idol. Congratulations, fellow Fanyu!

Happy anniversary to Yuzu's Sochi Olympic gold medal! Yuzu's "I'm first? I'm the first? Oh, my god!" was so adorable!

After seeing the olympics today, I realized if Yuzuru really went for it, to compete at Milano, he would've even gotten Olympic Gold... which is very shocking. I realized Olympics really is unpredictable and that Yuzuru really is the GOAT, he can perform under Olympic pressure. It's both shocking and kind of sad that Yuzuru stayed out of this olympic cycle.. I would have loved seeing him compete one more time... but I guess that boat has now fully sailed, because Yuzuru will be 35 by the time next olympic comes...

And another awww......

Awww....

I was rooting for Mikhail, I am so happy he won the gold! no one saw it coming the neutral skater had an amazing free skate too! but his components were so low, it felt unfair. Could be cause he is not too known to the judges and components has a lot to do with rapport...even if that isn't right imo. Yuma sadly couldn't have a clean skate but his performance on the short on teams was so so wonderful. I feel bad for ilia, even though I don't like his skating he was devastated and I could see he didn't even think losing was a possibility. He seemed completely out of it. I think they pressured him to do the free for teams because they were at risk of losing the gold to Japan and initially he was planning on only doing the sp, I wonder if that was a factor, not being able to lock in and rest as good as he should have and adding one extra demanding performance he hadn't accounted for. Japan really deserved the teams medal, it felt a bit cheap they pushed Ilia to do both skates to not lose it, but I digress. I was not able to watch Jun skate!!! I'm so bummed about that, I lost connection just as his skate was happening, I was so mad. I will have to watch video when they put it up, but I did hear he had a fall.

Finally watched the top 6 and so so happy for Mikhail! Such a victory for him. It was funny to hear Tara and Johnny remark during Mikhail's skate that this Olympics would give him good experience for the next one. If only they knew... Poor Yuma can't escape the silver curse but it was so sweet to see how happy he was Shun got bronze. Still feel for Ilia though, he looked devastated but kudos for hugging Mikhail and admitting he blew it. Wasn't great to hear him say in the kiss and cry that he would've won if he went to Beijing but I'll blame that on his post-skate adrenaline. Won't lie, I am sort of happy he didn't win just because of all the insane media hype around him and them acting like him getting gold was a sure thing. Ice is slippery and anything can happen.

Honestly, I made myself suffer by following this competitive season. I was furious after the Team Event, but this is just cosmic energy returning. They were up for karma at some point.

Isn't that just wonderful? *whisper: vindicatiooooon* I think this is part of the reasons "Yuzuru Hanyu is the GOAT" is everywhere on other social media again. The sacrifice for the TE gold. Oh well.

Well that was a turn up for the books. C/B and Ilia Malinin losing their absolutely locked in golds... Congrats to Mikhail!!! And I am so happy for Hun after the travesty in the team event.

Yup. And they don't get another crack at it till 2030

Hang on, sorry for the double posting, but does this mean Zu's 4A< remains the only attempted 4A on Olympics ice? I might be laughing histerically at this, ngl.

The pressure got them. For all the 'quad god' talk as well. Congrats for the bronze, Shun!

congrats to mikhail shaidorov! i wish nbc would play the podium but i guess they won't now

Haven't even watched what happened but happened to see the results and OMG?! Ilia had a Nathan Chen 2018 SP meltdown but in his FP. I feel for him, I think once he fell once he crashed out. No one would have predicted the results

wow wow a lot of skaters (cough yuma) wishing they had taken advantage of this

omg

Ooof my heart broke a little for Malinin

aww yuma really not good skate wobble on the stsq wow, 22 pts lower on the tech than mikhail

aw sad about adam, but happy for the kazakhstani skater

did they change how sequences are scored this quad

Wild choice of music lol

Awww I really enjoyed Jun's skate. Such a shame about the fall

i'm watching it! wow i didn't know one of the US figure skater's (naumov) parents died in a plane crash last year aww boyang looks happier than the last olympics?? even tho he's no medal contender

Anyone else watching the men's free? It's good to see old faces but I'm finding Vasiliyevs' skating to be far less enjoyable than I remember it to be
