blackwing February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 2 minutes ago, Chaser said: I've always thought Carolina looked awkward on the ice. I don't get the praise. I've never liked her and I was shocked when she showed up in the team event that she is still around. Something about her look, she looks like a horse. Even more so than the original Horseface, Nancy Kerrigan. 5 Link to comment

Whoever said the team event may be better placed at the end of the Games may be on to something. I'm sort of confused as to why the ladies had a day off between the SP and FP compared to the rest the contests. And it seems the extra "rest" time is creating even more mistakes. There used to be days off for all the disciplines, but the team event condensed the schedule so only the women have a day off now. I laughed at Bradie putting on her credential to get ready to leave the room before Myahara got her scores. 3 Link to comment

seltzer3 February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Carolina's jumps are so awkward. Especially her double axel. Its one of the easier jumps, and she just sticks out her leg really weird. Link to comment

Bama February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 She's young like the NotRussians but she seems so much more artistic and connected to her music than they do. Loving her so far. 7 Link to comment
dbell1 February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 I liked Sakamoto much better in the short. This is like a toddler dance recital complete with silly baby costume and fake posing at the top. And random birds. Oh joy. 2 Link to comment

CherryMalotte February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Quote It's better than the Kermit jumpsuit she wore at Europeans; but no, it does not suit the music. The only time I ever want to see that thing again is on RuPaul's Drag Race. That is the only place appropriate for that..costume. And after seeing the new promo for Season Ten, it would fit right in. Though I will say this - the costumes of today are way prettier than some of the montrosities we had in the past. I take into account that some skaters just don't have the big bucks for that kind of wardrobe, but they have come a long way. I find the plainer costumes prettier than those that look like something the gypsy brides bedazzled. 2 Link to comment

Carolina is artistic when she steps out of jumps and grabs her face, emoting. Caroflation. ETA, plus, Kaori is too young and not Russian to enough to merit high PCS.

elle February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 (edited) So if she was not squeezing in all the jumps. she could have held that spiral? I just noticed all the elements are green. Didn't she miss a triple triple or triple double, where she only did a single triple? Edited February 23, 2018 by elle 2 Link to comment
Thumper February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 I like Zag's costume except for the tights pulled over her boots. Makes the ankles and heels look thick. Tara's comments are not jinxing this one. 5 Link to comment
