GeminiDancer February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 I'm rooting for Choi. I hope somehow she sneaks in for bronze. 6 Link to comment
SimoneS February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Nicely done, Choi. She isn't the Russians' class, but it was a lovely skate. 3 Link to comment
AuntieDiane6 February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 (edited) Quote 9 MINUTES AGO, SIMONES SAID: Does Bradie eat? I am not exaggerating the poor woman looks near emaciated. She's probably just naturally thin, and then with all the work of skating, it just makes it worse. She has the figure of a 12-year-old girl and a naturally heart-shaped face which makes her look a bit homely because she has no cheekbones and a wide mouth . That costume does her no favors because it just shows how flat-chested she is. Methinks she's verging on anorexia, which combined with nerves, means she has no energy in these performances and can't get through them without a fall or two.

vixenbynight February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Choi's program was very graceful. The South Koreans had very good programs tonight. 9 Link to comment

annzeepark914 February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Is Lori Nichols still doing choreography for skaters? Bradie Tennell needs her badly. Lori knows what to do with a skater's arms (once Michelle left Nichols, she developed airplane arms or as Dick used to say, "they look like they're hanging laundry"). 3 Link to comment

The only way the US girls would go earlier is if they had sucked harder. ETA at least a different cut of MR this time. So far. No. Just would have preferred that they hadn’t pushed for morning skating there to have a live evening event here which was based on NBCs request. 3 Link to comment
fireice13 February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 On the stream they just said Choi's mother died suddenly last year. It makes her skating even more amazing, training for the Olympics and dealing with that tragedy. 7 Link to comment
Omeletsmom February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 I wish they had used plain kineseo tape; it's very distracting. 3 Link to comment
fireice13 February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 I get starting with the hardest jump because you need the speed and energy, but maybe she should start with the ones she nails to get the confidence up first. 6 Link to comment
Growsonwalls February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Well if this is how the U.S. ladies skate then I guess the NotRussians deserve to win. 10 Link to comment

Thumper February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Just watching Mirai and Choi; their arm movements are so much more graceful than Bradie's. I love this red costume on Mirai. 8 Link to comment

I know. Maybe if skating didn't start at 9 am, they might have gotten more than 200 people to show up. If I had known there'd be so many empty seats, I'd have hopped on a plane to go. Probably could have gotten tickets at the door. 8 Link to comment

COESpiral February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 *sigh* Well, I know how this is going to end, so I'm calling it an Olympics. At least Mirai's got a bronze medal in the team event. 3 Link to comment
healthnut February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Very disappointing showing by the US ladies. Maybe they were all just happy to be there, and that was good enough... Link to comment

A quiet performance is just more dramatic and lovely than any jump fest. Agreed. 27 minutes ago, Jeddah said: I really like Karen Chen. I know she’s disappointed she couldn’t put it together here. I hope she doesn’t get too discouraged because she really is a lovely skater. I hope that Karen sticks it out for 2022. 17 minutes ago, Omeletsmom said: Ooooooh nooooo!

alexa February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 So is having the team event a way for none of them to care about the individual event? It just seems like falling back on that bronze medal didn’t help two of them. I just don’t get the sense that Mirai cared about placing low. 5 Link to comment

Chaser February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 I feel like once Mirai hit that long program in the Team Event she just kind of took the rest of the competition easy. 3 Link to comment
