I just finished watching.
Romsky for CAN - He got to the Olympics and forgot how to skate. It is like he just forgot how to land his ultra-c elements, the 4S and the 3A. Good on him for sticking the 3Lz 3T combo he usually struggles with. But, when I saw him on the ice during the warm up, he looked like a deer staring into headlights. Popped jumps and then falling on the ice. This is the worst he has ever skated. I think the best I can ask for, is for him to skate a good enough short program just to place in the top 24. That was an embarrassing skate and I was cringing during his performance.
Zhou was pretty dull for me. I’m glad he placed behind Mark. All his jumps were under review and I think he actually solidified himself as the fourth best American when there is a strict technical panel. I don’t expect to find him on the podium in the individual event. Maybe, a small medal after the SP, which is a masterpiece. During this performance, I missed Ilia and wish Ilia was here as the #2 American Skater instead
Mark is just solid and this free skate guaranteed the gold medal for Russia and to me, he is now the #5 best skater in the world behind 3 men from Japan and Nathan Chen. I wonder which two substitutions will be made tomorrow. Will Eteri decide between ladies, dance and pairs? Is it up to her? Diana Davis can skate now that they have a cushion. I kinda hope it will be Anna & Stepanova with Bukin in ice dance. Also, Kamila, next to Mishin….. be careful girl…… I don’t trust Mishin next to the star of the night
Yuma, wow! He is a relevation and the star of the night in the Men’s field. He added and tried out his 4Lo and I love his Loop combo. Hanyu, I hope you are watching as these are the two elements you need to add to your program, not the 4A. He deserved those high marks and I’m beginning to see it as Chen versus the three Japanese men. Shoma and Yuma were fantastic in the team event. Japan, specifically has been great at this ice rink. If the Japanese Pairs team was placed higher than the American team like they deserved to be, they would have been one point away from the silver medal
