Those Americans have a very selective memory 

There should be a term for Americans mansplaining things they don't understand to the rest of the world 

Rough translation of Keiji's comment after his performance:

 

(How do you feel about your first performance in your first Olympics?)
I'm regretful not because I got nervous but because I could not come back from mistakes I made in jumps. I was not nervous but more preoccupied with things I should do. As to jumps, I couldn't have a good image since when I was doing 6-minutes- warm-up. I'm very frustrated but I will try not to dwell on this. I want to learn from this and execute jumps calmly next time.

Wow USA will be only two points ahead of Italy, it will really depend on ladies (if C/L manages to get not more than one point less than shibs tho, I think)

It's okay, Mirai won back points for them.

I wonder where all those people were when Nathan won SA and GPF...over cleaner skates

Right, so if that's the case, where the heck is Ross?

A+++ 

 

Just replayed Kolyada's FS. Despite not doing well on the first 2 elements, both had issues he could fix. The 4Lz he didn't hang on, but I think it was full rotation wise? The 4T that followed, sadly, his was leaning to far into the circle when he launched. But he recovered his second 4T and did okay on the 3As!

So hopefully, it means he's back on track. =)

I love Mikhail. I  don't give a damn what people say. When he  completes  his elements  he is  he only man out there  after Hanyu  who makes me go  "Wooooow". Have  you  seen that 3A??? Have you seen it , I ask you??  One  of the  Russian commies  said  that  he  put  at this 3A less energy than when he  was  blowing his nose  before  the FP!! And  this  commie  has  a point.  The  problem Misha is a head  case . The  Russian  fed needs  to  find a solution to this ASAP!!  The whole  FS world  will benefit from it ,  not only Russians. The  more  brilliant skaters  out there  - the better.  Like I've said  once: not  everyone  who is clean has a potential of being epic. Clean  Kolyada does! Add to this  his  charming, simple  and sincere  personality  and  you have  a winning  combo.

 

 

Thank you for suffering  my short  rant.

I was looking into Mirai tag...”should have won cus she did the 3A” “the first women EVER to do a 3A in history then she should have won” etc.

....well if she backloaded her 3A, lands it clean with as much GOE as today, then there might be a case to be made on the TES front.

But if they insist on that, they should agree that Rika Kihara with 2 3As, and 1 in a combo no less, if clean should win over everyone right?

lololol

 

Why am I not surprised? 

 

You wouldn’t believe the number of published articles and comments I’ve seen this season from Americans claiming Tonya Harding was the first ever woman to land a 3A.

Watching with casuals is a bit exhausting since basically to them it's fall or don't fall and I'm like . How. To. Explain..... 

 

Throw in the dang U.S. PR machine and oh gosh it's impossible
