mightysparrow February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 I'm seeing a lot of arm flailing. At least Katelyn was true to her music and portrayed the Black Swan. She didn't just swing her arms around. 5 Link to comment
anniebird February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 This music isn't grabbing me. And she doesn't look like she's skating effortlessly - she looks like she's working hard for every move. 6 Link to comment
alihart41 February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 At least Kaetlyn's PCS were higher than Zag's. 4 Link to comment
SimoneS February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Medvedeva is just better than Zagitova artistically. Medvedeva is much more polished and as far as I can tell her jumps were very good. I don't know how the judges will score her. 10 Link to comment
Bama February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 She's technically great but she's just not engaging. Her skating doesn't make me feel anything. 9 Link to comment

Growsonwalls February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Well i like Med's program better even though I realize her jumps are technically not as strong. 6 Link to comment
galaxygirl76 February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 I'm not convinced that's enough. Link to comment
vixenbynight February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 (edited) Med knows that she got the OGM tonight. Oh wow!! Edited February 23, 2018 by vixenbynight Link to comment
stealinghome February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Oooh, that’s gonna be close. Zag is a better jumper but that program felt to me like it had way more artistry and character. awwww she’s crying. 8 Link to comment
mtlchick February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 That was a very abrupt ending. Well, congrats to whatever Non!Russian wins this so we can finally see the Olympic flag being raised, the Olympic anthem played and wonder "So kids, was it worth it?" See you for the exhibitions! 6 Link to comment

I would imagine Anna Karenina would be hard to interpret. 1 Link to comment
Dots And Stripes February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 The pressure Medvedeva is under is almost incomprehensible. I like Medvedeva's grace and I like Zagitova's brattiness. 10 Link to comment
anniebird February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 I wish I could award medals based on how much I enjoyed the program -- Osmond for the gold! 6 Link to comment

BuckeyeLou February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 I thought Med skated with more feeling & soul, I would have given her the Gold. 22 Link to comment

KenyaJ February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Damn, Medvedeva looked so stunned. And now she looks pissed. I live for this kind of drama. 9 Link to comment

Dots And Stripes February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Tara said Medvedeva won the free skate portion, but the scores I'm seeing say they tied the free skate. 1 Link to comment

EllenB February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 2 hours ago, greendog78 said: No one should be skating to Schindler's List. German or otherwise. It never looks good. Paul Wylie and Katarina With both skated to it, can't remember if they were at World's or if they'd gone pro by then. Both were considered pretty controversial at the time. Wylie's was great because he was always so good with movie theme interpretation (or his choreographer was). With got more flak as a German. Link to comment
zorak February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 I have finally figured out who the scary Russian coach reminds me of. She’s like a harsher looking Elizabeth Mitchell. 10 Link to comment

dbell1 February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Just happy it wasn't a splat fest. Wasn't the "best ever" Tara. Hope they do something about backloading programs though. They're not fun to watch. 19 Link to comment

Mumbles February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Psychologists say that bronze medalists are happier than silver medalists, because silvers always think how close they came to winning gold, but bronze medalists are thrilled they won a medal at all. Not sure if it’s true but Osmond looks over the moon and I’m happy for her. Would have given gold to Evgenia. Unrelated to that, she seems like more of a human being than Alina. 19 Link to comment
