Another Carmen?  Seriously???

et all

At least this is a better version than the one with the singer!

Every time I hear Carmen in connection to skating, I think of Katarina Witt.  It may not have been the greatest of all time, but it was memorable.

I might just root for Kaori.  I'm not sure we'll even have an American lady in the final group.  I can't remember the last time that's happened.  

Great point. Gracie was in the final group in Sochi and both Mirai and Rachel Flatt were in the final group in Vancouver and of course before then we always had medalists. I’m not sure we’ve ever not had a ladies skater in the top 6 after short program at Olympics.

Maybe Mirai at least can do a Nathan Chen in the Free Skate.  If he was able to shake off his disaster of a short program to land six quads in his Free Skate, surely Mirai can shake off that catastrophe of a Triple Axel and redeem herself similarly in the Free Skate.  Could she maybe land six Triple Axels?

That's the thing, none of the women melted down like Nathan did. They made a mistake and then moved on. Nathan couldn't land anything right in the short. 

I think Mirai fully rotated the triple axel, which is still worth more with the fall than a clean double axel. The risk paid off even if it didn't go as well as in the Team Event.

I wonder what would happen if Brian forgot one of his jackets?  Would he steal a flag from the audience and drape it over his shoulders?  Put duct tape on his back and write the country name with a Sharpie?  I'm legit curious.

He should just getone jacket and then stick different flags on it like in NASCAR. 

Can Choi get a homer gold medal to make up for Yuna’s in Sochi?
