Figure Skating

[stealinghome]

That was crazy good.

[Dots And Stripes]

Between the ridiculous costume and the back to back to back jumps, I liked Zagitova. It was fun.

[twoods]

Wow she just threw in another triple on tired legs. I know everyone is nonRussian hating but she is so good.

[Moxie Cat]

I am so sick of hearing Terry/Tara/Johnny say "Medvedeva." Yes I know it's irrational. And I hate that now I know how to pronounce it too. A year ago I couldn't say her name if my life depended on it.

[Omeletsmom]

Gee Tara and Johnny, tongue bath, much?

[Growsonwalls]

Yeah she has spunk. I like her. Compared to the "I'm happy with 10th place" Americans she deserves to win.

I am not. I don't even understand the hate for the Russians.

[nextian]

She was awesome, but I do hate the back loading. They left room though.

Terry: "And remember, Russia has not won a gold medal at this Olympics at all."

Me: Why start now?

 

And nor should they, since "Russia" is not technically there. What a farce.

[anniebird]

They don't look all that thrilled.

[Minneapple]

Well, Zagitova's coach looks miserable. Botoxed and miserable. Will she try to smile if Evgenia wins? STAY TUNED.

[SeanC]

Oh, it's actually possible for Medvedeva to catch her.

There's a RV place around where I live called MedVed so that's what I call her in my head.

[healthnut]

High, but not her season’s best. 

[shizzle]

I really can not hate on her...I mean damn, she is good.

[mtlchick]

Come on Osmond, get your Natalie Portman game face on and get this done.

Because they shouldn't even be here.  That "ban" was a pathetic joke.

[Mellowyellow]

I'm going against the grain but I loved Zag's routine. 

Yes there was backloading but her steps sequence was awesome and a lot of fun. I feel like if she didn't back load she's got the ability to do an even greater routine. 

But I loved that routine and her crazy costume. She was fun and sprightly and didn't splat!

I love Osmunds look.

[Growsonwalls]

Katelyn Osmond skating to Swan Lake? Bleh.

[Dots And Stripes]

Osmond has improved so much since the last Olympics.

[Linderhill]

I am seriously tired of the tongue bath that Tara (who i've disliked since her gold medal) and Johnny (dude, you're from New Jersey, not Russia) are giving to the skaters that they like.  I much prefer the Australian lady on the NBC app.

[Cindyluwho]

You gave it your all Kaetlyn! Way to go!

[Chaser]

I liked that so much better then the NotRussians

[SeanC]

That was one of the best performances Kaetlyn's given.  I'm not sure it will be quite enough.

For podium or to top the Russians?

[elle]

Can someone explain the difference between the bobble Zag made and the one Osmand made. 

[Bama]

That was fantastic.  Good for her.  Her step sequence was great.

[anniebird]

You can get tired of Swan Lake but it's a beautiful piece of music and she did a beautiful job.

[stealinghome]

That was also beautiful!!! Great for Osmond. Look at her smile!

[dbell1]

Osmond was really good. Almost made me like Swan Lake. 

[vixenbynight]

I am not sorry. I love it when Johnny calls Terry "Terrance". Especially in regards to Osmond's amazing program this evening. 

 

She even shocked Tara aka Jinks!!

For the podium. No way she will reach silver or gold. 

 

 

Yes!!!!

[SeanC]

She did it!  Yay Kaetlyn!

Wow, she boosted her personal best by 10 points.

[Growsonwalls]

Katelyn into second place! Guaranteed bronze, what a great Olympics for Canadians.

[Bama]

Osmond gets a medal, yes?

[anniebird]

Good for her!

Osmond stepped out, affects GOE. Zagitova just did her combo in another jumping pass, she didn’t make a mistake. 

[Omeletsmom]

Wow!  God for Katelyn!

[kittykat]

I liked Osmond better than Zag.  Not surprised at the result though.

[mtlchick]

And with that, Osmond has secured Canada's 27th medal, the most we've EVER collected.   I'm crying! 

[mightysparrow]

Katelyn's on the podium!  Her parents are so cute!!!

[stealinghome]

The judges are like Oprah. “You get a personal best!” “You get a world record!” “Everyone gets all the points!”

[SeanC]

And with that, Kaetlyn Osmond has made this Canada's biggest Olympics medal haul ever.

Poor Satoko :-(

Is it bad that I want Medvedeva to fall like 5 times?

Does anyone know who she is?  I tried googling and couldn't find anything.

Nope. I'm hoping too. Handbasket to hell for 2 please. 

[Omeletsmom]

Oh, shut up, Johnny!

Minor nitpick- Johnny’s from Pennsylvania, not New Jersey.
