healthnut February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Well all three Americans will be in the top 10, that’s pretty cool. Now let the Games really begin...so excited for this final group! 13 Link to comment
Irlandesa February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Wait didn't they tease some Super G News? But then they switched? I would have liked for Adam to be in 3 just so we could see all 3 US men on top for a brief moment--before they all get booted by the top men. 7 Link to comment
Enero February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 (edited) I guess since we're now at the final group, they've switched the skating from NBSSports to NBC. One minute they said we'd get a Super G update and next thing I knew Hockey was on. RME. Edited February 17, 2018 by Enero 2 Link to comment
Pallas February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 They just did a Super-G update on NBC, and said they'd come back there with the skating. 1 Link to comment

SophiaD February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 I'm so relieved for Adam. (I still hope that Nathan gets on the podium, but I'm not holding my breath). Eeek. Aliev is not doing well. 1 Link to comment

scarynikki12 February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Aliev seems to have hurt his hip. Since he's still going I'm hoping it's just a bruise. Still don't want him to get SWR. 1 Link to comment
SophiaD February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 He's young yet. He can come back next quadrennium. 1 Link to comment
Paws February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 (edited) This whole thing would be more fun if we had someone like Evgeny Plushenko to hate. I miss that arrogant jerk. He made things so much fun. Edited February 17, 2018 by Paws 14 Link to comment
Growsonwalls February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Aww, I feel bad for Aliev. That kind of implosion is never fun to watch. 2 Link to comment

MaKaM February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Okay. I'll say it, I hate the overhead camera during the spins on the stream. You can't see anything and it makes me dizzy. 6 Link to comment

I know others have said it's a long shot, but I think if we keep seeing skater after skater have meltdowns there might be a chance for him to sneak in for the bronze. 5 Link to comment
specialj67 February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 I can’t imagine what the experience for Aliev was like to end up in the final flight. He is my fave of the Russian men by A LOT—expressive in this long program in a way I really enjoy. I hope we see great things from him in the coming years. 6 Link to comment

Ever since she screamed “YES!” when Nathan Chen was skating, I find Tara really annoying now. I can barely listen to her. And I just heard Darth Vader and cracked up. 3 Link to comment

Are people misjudging their space? Seems like several have gotten way too close to the boards. Jin has nearly hit the boards three times in this program alone. 5 Link to comment
Darknight February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 I'm in tears for Nathan.. I wish he had a sports psychologist to deal with pressure 2 Link to comment
Souris February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 A couple of Jin's jumps looked two-footed to me, but they didn't get yellow boxes. 1 Link to comment
galaxygirl76 February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 I know this is irrational but it really annoys me that when someone lands on their ass the box turns yellow. I really feel that should be red but I understand under the current point system it's not. It's interesting that he uses Star Wars music since it's not very popular in China. 6 Link to comment

I usually enjoy Tara/Johnny/Terry, but honestly these last few skaters I've just had to mute them. I'm happy Nathan did well, but they just keep going on and on and on about it. I know it's their job being US commentators and Nathan being from the US, but enough already. 3 Link to comment
Chaser February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Not a fan of the program, that middle part was ridiculous. Even though he fell, I think he will pull ahead. Link to comment

Jeddah February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 I love that Star Wars program. It’s something different, and Jin Boyang just sells the hell out of it. 5 Link to comment

They dont even say to switch over. *Grumble grumble* I'm often watching a bit behind, so by the time I realize they've switched to hockey, and I need to flip to regular nbc, I've missed 2 skaters. >:-[ Edited February 17, 2018 by gatopretoNYC 1 Link to comment
