Jeddah February 4, 2022 Share February 4, 2022 That score is huge! Well-deserved! And of course Shoma is in second…perpetually. 1 Link to comment

emma675 February 4, 2022 Share February 4, 2022 Nathan seems so much steadier and calmer this time around, this first great skate probably just added to his confidence. Besides Shoma and that super tall Georgia skater, it was all kind of lackluster to me. 3 Link to comment

absnow54 February 4, 2022 Share February 4, 2022 Slightly off topic, but what is it with the Jurassic Park crossover promotion that’s implying there are dinosaurs in China? 12 Link to comment

Lol. Yay for corporate synergy! Yeah, the competition was kind of boring and lackluster overall. Not a lot of energy, maybe they’re saving the good music and such for later? Just now, Chaser said: Are you saying there aren’t dinosaurs in China? Darn it . I know I would enjoy “skiing as velociraptors are chasing you” as an event. Or “bobsledding as a T-rex attempts to eat you.” 6 1 Link to comment
justmehere February 4, 2022 Share February 4, 2022 (edited) I'm all for Team USA, but sorry - I just don't really care for Nathan's La Boheme program, and I thought he looked pretty nervous before starting - visibly breathing hard. Don't blame him after last Olympics. Getting the nerves out here will probably help with the individual skates. He looked a little rough to me, but obviously the judges didn't think so. Shoma's was my favorite performance. Re: the scorebox - not showing the breakdown of base and GOE scores is annoying. (ETA: This is on Peacock - no breakdown and no identification of elements. Just caught a repeat on NBC, and their scorebox has much more info.) Not having a crowd watching definitely lowers the energy. Edited February 4, 2022 by justmehere Clarify comment 1 Link to comment
Lady Whistleup February 4, 2022 Share February 4, 2022 I don't like Nathan's La Boheme program. I think it's sort of artsy fartsy and he doesn't have the chops to pull this sort of thing off. 2 Link to comment

But why did the two men get nice, curious dinosaurs and the woman got stuck between a velociraptor and a t-rex both attempting to eat her? The Czech Republic ice dancers with 80s/90s music was very cute but cheesy. And that woman's outfit was doing her no favors, it made her look 20 pounds heavier than she is. 3 Link to comment
