yes and no. Russia will win the ladies SP and LP. Russia will still place ahead of USA for the pairs LP and actually, USA may drop there. Russia may lose again against the USA in the FD but it would be one ranking... the real deal here will be how well the USA women can stick close to the Russians and if the Russian man delivers in the LP versus whomever USA selects for the LP. If the USA want that gold, they should keep Nathan Chen for the LP.

It seems that @SnowWhite is referring to SinKats running into teams in warmup before and being 'more in the wrong.' And that Sinkats once ran into V/M, causing a bruise on Tessa's leg. I did not see this incident, so I'm only repeating @SnowWhite's comments.
You are in the wrong thread. This is the ice dance team event thread.

Yes, I agree. Someone was talking about being offended by the German team, who were acting out movie characters. I found SinKats RD to be more skanky than edgy. Sure SinKats have talent, but they are overrated. Other teams are better, including Gilles/Poirier and Guignard/Fabbri. Hub/Don and Chock/Bates are head and shoulders better than SinKats, and Zhulin and SinKats know this!!! Forget about SinKats being close rivals to Papadakis/Cizeron. That's a lie too. Even Smart/Diaz and Fear/Gibson are more interesting teams to watch and often have better music and choreography than SinKats.

Nikita made a pretty noticeable mistake in the middle of the midline step. He also wobbled in the second part of the twizzle.

Gotta say, I love Piper's new dress, it looks way better than the trousers. I really hope they'll do better in the main event. As for S/K they bore me to tears with their choreography and generall blandness. I'm not a big fan of H/D, but at least they have some spark.

Dear Members. During the first day of competitions at the Olympics we have noticed that many posters are completely forgetting that these are competition threads, as for actual skaters competing. They are not threads to express with whom you have an axe to grind, to express your political opinions, your issues about doping allegations, any issues you may have with certain countries or people, your opinion about cheating or not, disparaging comments about people experiencing mental health issues, and/or any xenophobic or homophobic opinions you wish to express. Such posts are contrary to forum guidelines in general but are especially off putting in competition threads. Please focus on what is happening on the ice.
Posts which contain such sentiments derail the thread and take the joy out of taking part in these threads for other posters who join in to enjoy the experience of watching a Figure Skating competition with like minded posters. The moderators are free to delete all such posts without warning, and will do so if this continues.

It has strangely grown and on me. It’s refreshing to see something different.

I completely agree! When Nikita almost fell, the first thing I said to my husband was “This is what Russia gets for not putting S/B in the RD.” Poor Nikita is clearly struggling with his injury and it’s unfair they are making him skate 4 times in the next week.

He is an ice dancer. Ice dance for some reason tends to draw straight men

Yes, Tim was so good. I watched him much more than her. Katherina seemed very slow and nervous.- Joined

Yeah they didn’t seem very confident which is understandable!

To me they seemed to lack a bit of confidence and intensity today compared to both H/D and G/F.

I don’t think this was their best skate though. Things can definitely change in the individual event.

Piper tends to get her costumes improved upon near the end of each skating season. I like the dress too instead of the trousers and that she added some color variety to her and Paul's outfits.

Sorry but the amount of people that praise S/K that are not Russian clearly show that they have skill. What is in it for other commentators to praise them if they didn’t actually believe it? The conspiracy theories on here are wild sometimes. Do the judges always get it right? No. Is their political voting/national bias at times? Yes. But S/K have consistently been 2nd for the most part to P/C for the last few years, so does that mean it’s all one big conspiracy by all the judges in all competitions and by non-Russian commentators?!
I think Russians always have a leg up in all the disciplines because they invest a lot in the sport and lots of Russians learn to skate at a very young age and have good basic skating skills. S/K aren’t even my favourite team let alone favourite Russian team, but the constant judging conspiracy is getting tiresome. Sorry for the rant but I had to say something.
H/D definitely deserve to be first as they skated that brilliantly.
