Growsonwalls February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 What? That shouldn't be over Med. Between the NotRussians I thought Med was way more polished than Zagitova. 4 Link to comment

I'm not seeing amazing transitions, just Plushy arms flailing around like a swan stuck in oil. Not impressed. Hilarious. But so true and I loved Plushy. LOL I knew she was going to be ahead of Evgenia. Sorry but Sasha Cohen would make this Swan program look like a dead bird especially on PCS. This girl did nothing for the music IMHO. 2 Link to comment

legaleagle53 February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 All right, Carolina Kostner, it's down to you. Dai! 2 Link to comment
BitterApple February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Huh. I understand the Not!Russians are using the scoring system to their advantage, but I liked Katelyn's program best. 1 Link to comment
galaxygirl76 February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 I don't get it. I must be missing my 'appreciate skating while not!Russian' gene. 3 Link to comment
Enero February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Carolyn should be in 4th with this skate. Katelyn was better. Her maturity and thus interpretation should put her ahead of the Japanese skater. Link to comment

Souris February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 (edited) Oh, there's another one. (Russian*) Shes very pink. And goes boom. At least it's not shaping up for a sweep now. Edited February 21, 2018 by Souris 4 Link to comment
Enero February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 (edited) Well at least it won't be a Russian sweep. Argh. Arm over head on almost every jump. Again, there should be a limit to this. This girl should be behind Kostner. IMO Edited February 21, 2018 by Enero 2 Link to comment

gatopretoNYC February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 (edited) I actually like the tutus on Zag. Her illusion fabric is way too dark though. Edited February 21, 2018 by gatopretoNYC 4 Link to comment
Growsonwalls February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Too bad that this NotRussian wiped out. I think she's the most appealing skating-wise. Link to comment

Enero February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Well this was the most boring competition, thus far, out of all the figure skating events. Don't know if I'll tune in live for the Free Skate. 11 Link to comment
Growsonwalls February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Oh poor Med. She speaks English so she has to talk to Andrea Joyce. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, even a NotRussian. 23 Link to comment

SophiaD February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 I'm going to rewatch the Shibs, eat chocolate, and sulk. I am so grateful to them! At least one of my favorite skaters/couples did well. <3 8 Link to comment
Minneapple February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Just now, Chelsea girl said: Are the Russians the only ones who put all their jumps in the second half? I think so. And really they're smart to do it. Like I said...I think Alina would have to splat hard to lose tomorrow. She's got that ballet dancer thing going on that the skating judges love, like Oksana Baiul. Plus she's technically sound. Does she move me with her skating? No. I think she's like a little skating robot. But it probably doesn't matter. I really wish the US could pull its program together. I cannot believe we haven't had a medal in the ladies program since 2006. 6 Link to comment

healthnut February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Tara made an interesting point about Russia rewarding skaters for trying more difficult elements and implementing that after Vancouver and the US not doing it until after Sochi. That’s the first I’ve heard of this and I follow figure skating regularly. 5 Link to comment
displayname February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 GOODNESS did you look at Eteri making a face at someone off-camera when she saw that Zag broker her personal favourite's WR? Not only would Zag deserve to win if she goes clean in the LP, I'd like her to win just so she can tell Eteri to DIAF and go train with BOrser or someone. 4 Link to comment
Growsonwalls February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 So I guess Med is old news and Zagitova is the New Shiny Thing the judges all love? Too bad, because I'm not feeling Miss Tutu. I like fierce anime queen Med better. 7 Link to comment
SimoneS February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 (edited) I think the scores were all on point tonight. The Russian women deserved to be on top. It will be interesting to see them battle it out in the long program. I think the Medvedea is the better of the two. Edited February 21, 2018 by SimoneS 4 Link to comment

I love her too. (I am not really a fan of her bars--I prefer the He Kexin/Beth Tweddle style but I think Aliya is very graceful on floor.) She just seems very drama-free and yet still a fierce competitor. 1 hour ago, scarynikki12 said: They'd just get bonus for being the best splatters.

gatopretoNYC February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 I was happy to see the Hungarian, whose AC/DC music choice pleased many of us, qualified for the long program. Curious, I looked up her music for her long program. Oh dear: Spoiler Carmen. 9 Link to comment
Mellowyellow February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 That was hilarious and awesome! I used to watch english dubbed Sailormoon a zillion years ago and she was channelling Serena really well in the beginning sequence! LOVED that she went with the socks as well! She looks like she has a sense of humour. 3 Link to comment
