Growsonwalls February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 (edited) Well good for Alexei. He's experiencing the Olympics the best way and that's what's important. ETA: I thought Tara's comment about "all the miserable days at the rink" was sort of revealing and it kind of makes me understand her commentary more. Tara was clearly a harsh perfectionist on herself and any misery was worth pushing through. Johnny seems to have more empathy for the headcases because he was very inconsistent. You can tell Tara doesn't get why someone like Bychenko is ecstatic with a non-medal skate. Edited February 17, 2018 by Growsonwalls 7 Link to comment
PaulaO February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 I kinda wish the Israeli skater had worn a clown outfit for his Paglliaci routine. Is that wrong? 9 Link to comment
Peace 47 February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Aw, Bychenko was a delight! So nice to see him so happy. Those are the Olympic moments I love. And it’s so sweet that Johnny shared that Bychenko’s wife moving over to the U.S. has made him extra happy. 10 Link to comment

Popular Post BitterApple February 17, 2018 Popular Post Share February 17, 2018 All the props in the world to Chen for going out there and killing it. So much disappointment and pressure and he went out on a high note. I hope he comes back strong for Beijing. 36 Link to comment

Crs97 February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 From way back Quote I remember always being a little perplexed when people praised Brian Boitano's steadfast loyalty to Linda Leaver as a virtue in itself. It was certainly good judgment for Boitano (clearly it worked extremely well for him), but it wouldn't necessarily work for the next skater. If I remember from a book on skating, Linda was smart in that she would send Brian to specialists for short “workshops” to hone his craft. He had no need to leave her because she managed his training so well. The book said the whispered question among the skating community was when he was as going to wake up and get a real coach, and some coaches actually called him. So glad to see Nathan skate well in a he long! 5 Link to comment

Enero February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Nathan Chen! Awesome! He could potentially medal. But he'll need help from the top contenders. Glad he was able to pull it together. Perhaps coming in 17th in the SP took off some of the pressure. 7 Link to comment

COESpiral February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 I hope this means he's going to finish top six now. At least he'll have that to be proud of and build on for Beijing. 10 Link to comment
stealinghome February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Good for Nathan Chen! I was expecting tonight to be a disaster for him, but I am very glad to have been wrong. Regardless of whether he's on the podium, that was a great last skate and exactly what he needed. Good on him! 13 Link to comment
kittykat February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Forty point lead, NBD! Let's see how many spots he can climb. Top 10 for sure? 3 Link to comment

scarynikki12 February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Way to go Nathan! It was 99% lights out thanks to the hand down but it's what he needed. I'd love it if he somehow earned bronze but I won't hold my breath. 9 Link to comment

MaKaM February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Too bad his PCS holds him back. If he were getting mid 9s, he'd really be back in this thing. I like the kid. Disliked the beginning of the program but it got me by the end. Link to comment
scarynikki12 February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 I've got Uncle Dick open and he LOVED Nathan's skate too. That's always my benchmark. 11 Link to comment
LexieLily February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 I need a quick explanation of the points and medal race. Nathan Chen is in first and gold medal position as of now, with how many more skaters to perform? 1 Link to comment
Souris February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Nathan Mao Asada'd it! I am so, so happy he came out and skated like THAT. He won't medal (sorry, NBC) but he should be darn proud of himself for fighting back like that. Of course, at that point, the pressure was off. But still great to see. 23 Link to comment
COESpiral February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 And now I feel like I can relax for the rest of the night because while I'm absolutely pulling for Vincent and Adam, they aren't getting anywhere near the podium either, so now I can just enjoy. 8 Link to comment

mtlchick February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Nathan Chen is the new Kurt Browning. Hell even Kurt Browning said "He's doing what I did in Lillehammer: skating for pride." I hope he builds on this and not look at this as a total failure. He rebounded enough to say "I'll see you all in 4 years." 14 Link to comment
