CarbonCopy February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Wow, this Latvian girl looks TALL! 2 Link to comment
Bama February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 More gloves and a cool ass catsuit! And her coach is adorable on the split screen of the NBC app - he's bouncing like crazy and doing the routine right along with her lol. 1 Link to comment
Enero February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 (edited) Another skater skating at a snails pace. Also, I agree with the Tara the telegraphing of the jumps is just not a good look. She landed everything but her performance was very blah. Lambiel is so damn pretty. Sigh. :) Edited February 21, 2018 by Enero 2 Link to comment

Thumper February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Felt bad for Bradie. She seems kind of colt-ish to me, like she hasn't quite grown into her body. 8 Link to comment

I can see that. I think they shouldn't let that stop them so I hope one will start a new trend. 2 Link to comment

Bewitched February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 As tall as the Latvian skater looked, the Korean skater must be pocket-sized. She is also much faster across the ice. 1 Link to comment

Enero February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Kim looks TINY. :) I enjoyed her skate, but too bad on all the under-rotations. She's the only skater thus far that's skated with life and presence. She seemed to be a little faster than the ones before her. Loved the spin at the end. Link to comment
scarynikki12 February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Barring any injuries, I can see Kim being a threat four years from now. That was good. 1 Link to comment

I wouldn't blame her for not wanting to break in a new pair of skates just for this, but at least wear black tights and pull them over the boots. 2 Link to comment

Enero February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Oh gosh - Carmen..... Eeek. This Swedish skater looks really tall, but like other is skating very slow. Her outfit looks like it should be the Queen of Hearts in a deck of cards. 1 Link to comment

Bama February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Tara and Johnny really leaning into the "Hunger Games" meme, huh? The Swiss skater is a 9th generation Olympian. That's cool. 6 Link to comment

Thumper February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 I'm curious about the gold adornment (necklace? Not sure) that is around his neck and curls in front. It looks like it would hurt me if I hugged him. 2 Link to comment

Dots And Stripes February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 I'm not sure which shows more mental fortitude from Bradie: moving past an early fall to deliver a solid program or showing no emotion to Andrea's attempts to make her cry in that interview. 13 Link to comment

fireice13 February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 (edited) I'm watching the stream and I really like the Australian woman. She's giving out a lot of good information on the elements and what makes them good or why there are deductions. It's nice to actually be told why something was scored well or not instead of just hearing "oh that will lose some points." Edited February 21, 2018 by fireice13 8 Link to comment
Bama February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 This blue ombre number on the Chinese skater is pretty. And it helps that her illusion netting truly matches her skin tone. From a distance her costume actually looks strapless. Pretty performance. 3 Link to comment

I really hate Andrea and her awful, awful interviews, particularly when she interviews skaters after they have faltered. I compare her skills with Scott Hamilton, who did such a nice job with Nathan Chen, and just shake my head. 12 Link to comment

She explains things like a judge and not just a coach or skater. Link to comment
sweeks February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 I don't know how I feel about Paganini's ensemble. On one hand, I like the blue part of her dress. On the other hand, the beading and the sleeves give me a Heidi vibe. Link to comment
