SophiaD February 6, 2022 Share February 6, 2022 Kagiyama was the highlight of the evening for me. I'm bummed for Vincent. And for Karen.

Jillibean February 6, 2022 Share February 6, 2022 So mathematically speaking, with a comfortable lead, might Russia switch to D/S for dance now? They probably only sacrifice 2 points there, which they easily will make back up in their other events. I wonder though if they're more likely to sub pairs to eliminate the possibility that Sui/Han beat M/G in both the short and long here. Looking ahead--the US has 3 points over Japan. Japan is likely going to gain back 1-2 of those in the ladies' free, depending on how well Karen rebounds (best case scenario she finishes 3rd but even if she doesn't, the worst she can really do is 4th because she's going to beat the skater from China). So ultimately I guess what they really need is for K/F to stay right behind M/K (I think the chances K/F beat them again are slim) and ahead of the Canadian team so that they're at worst even going into the ice dance where they'll get at least a point back. But they might only get one if C/B don't beat G/P, so where K/F place could be really crucial. It's going to be tight. Did I do the math on that correctly? It was frustrating to watch what seemed like a mental meltdown tonight, but I don't know what the team could have done differently. Nathan didn't want to do the long. Jason likely would have placed the same as Vincent even if he had been totally clean. Alysa wasn't available and she hasn't been skating cleanly anyway. Mariah is as inconsistent as Karen if not more. For a team that has apparent depth, there weren't a lot of stronger options. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/125910-figure-skating/page/7/#findComment-7276019

BlackberryJam February 6, 2022 Share February 6, 2022 (edited) If Valieva were three years older, I'd ship her with Kagiyama. They are both the future of their sport and it was an absolute delight watching both of them today. I love Nathan Chen and I like Shoma Uno, but Kagiyama is dripping with charm. I don't think there is any woman competing right now that can compete with Valieva in artistry, technique or content. She's the best for a reason, and she seems just like a lovely young girl. Johnny mentioned that one of her past times is sleeping and Kagiyama said the same thing, his hobby is sleeping. They are adorable, and in ten years. can be adorable together with some romantic "Met at the Olympics and reconnected years later story." ETA: I'll say it. I'm happy to never see Jason Brown fail at international competition again. He doesn't have the skills and it was painful to watch him try.

In ice dance the bottom two are locked in, I'd say, but given how shaky S/K looked in the rhythm dance and that having been their better program for most of this season, I don't think first place is a given for them. The Russian pair finishing first is pretty close to a given, and I expect J/R to finish last, but the middle three could really be in any order. For the women I think the order of the top two and the last-place finisher are also set, but it's vaguely possible that Maddie could catch up to Karen depending on how things go. Realistically I think Komatsubara/Koleto would need to somehow move up an ordinal or two for Japan to have a shot at silver. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/125910-figure-skating/page/7/#findComment-7276077
