#2 KAETLYN OSMOND : CANADA'S SWEETHEART

[Ohyes]

Bronze, and second in PCS!!

I think that might be one of, if not THE best skate of her career.

Kaetlyn did that sh*t.

 

[screech]

And she CRUSHED her personal best by 10 points!!

Wonderful skate. I'd have had her first in PCS, but second is better than nothing! Congrats to her team too - I really hope more people will start going to Ravi now, and I hope she sticks with Jeff doing at least one of her programs each year.

Oh holy bananas THAT WAS AAAAAHHH. I'm SO happy for Kaetlyn. Her skate brought SO much joy. My heart is full. I hollered so loud. Leslie Jones-level loud.

 

[Wyliefan]

YEAH KAETLYN!!!!! You did it, girl!

Positive news for Canadian FS fans, after the hockey negative yesterday.

Can someone post the teddy bear (or whatever they are) ceremony that's not geoblocked?

Kaetlyn Osmond did an amazing job

 

[KimGOAT]

She was amazing. I personally would have given her the silver over Zagitova! Congrats to beautiful Kaetlyn and to Canada. I think the best is still ahead for this extraordinary young lady! No matter what she is already an Olympic Gold, Olympic Silver, and Olympic Bronze medalist, making her the most decorated Olympian and greatest Olympic female skater since Witt, that is a fact.

 

[manhn]

Why did I not realize Kaetlyn has all the medals!

 

[lexeoe]

i'm so looking forward to see a full clip of kaetlyn's free program. cbc, besp, nbc please?

 

[ballettmaus]

Best program of the night! Would have loved if she had gotten the PCS she deserves (or rather, that the two Russian had gotten lower PCS) and had gotten a shot at silver or even gold but I'm thrilled for her! She put out two fantastic skates!

 

[VGThuy]

Congrats to Kaetlyn, this has been an excellent Olympics for her.

Lets hope some of kaetlyns performing under pressure in the FS and delivering magic helps us to win gold in mens hockey.

Kaetlyn was absolutely stunning! She was on fire and was NOt going to let that skate get away from her. That was so exciting! I am thrilled for her. Huge congrats to her and everybody on Team Kaetlyn!

 

[Satellitegirl]

Very happy for her! Her jump height/technique/distance is unmatched and her edging and artistry were beautiful! Congrats to her!

 

[Ohyes]

Kaetlyn trending number 7th worldwide and number one in canada. Get that spotlight girl! yaaaassssss!

 

[jl22aries]

When she hit that climactic note at the end of her step sequence with that attitude pose. FIERCE.

Kaetlyn was great. She really deserved AND earned that medal. I did not believe in her in the FS but she proved me wrong. Thought her long program was great, whereas I hated her SP.

It's a shame about the PCS and GOE inflation the Russians get. In a different world it should have been a more fair fight.

 

[Bellanca]

Aaahhh, Kaetlyn did it! I knew she could!! I am so proud of her!! So very, very happy!!

Congratulations to Kaetlyn!! Wonderful!!

 

[paskatefan]

Congrats, Kaetlyn!!!!!!

 

[Emdee]

What an amazing skate. She held it together and was awarded the PCS she deserved.

 

[Seerek]

Probably the best short program and free skate combined ever by a Canadian woman at an Olympics (yes, in some respects, even better than Elizabeth Manley).

Now here's food for thought...

1st place ordinals from: Canada and China

4th place ordinals from.....
....OAR and France

Sweet story here (with video clips) about Kaetlyn's hometown crowd celebrating her medal!

Rewatching Kaetlyn again and she was so wonderful. I had initially thought she was robbed of the silver ahead of the ridiculously overmarked Alina Zagitova, but now I am thinking she might have even deserved the gold. That she deserved silver over Zagitova is an easy call, and something I think we can all agree on. However on the rewatch I see there are possibly valid argument for her to have maybe even beaten Medvedeva for the gold. At the very least I think she deserved the win by the long program phase by a narrow margin over Medvedeva on rewatch.

Either way her performances and what she went through to deliver them, particularly with her own history of inconsistency, losing her Canadian title to Daleman, and coming off the great performances of Miyahara and Zagitova right before her putting immense pressure to stay in the medal hunt, was nothing short of remarkable.

 

[Ohyes]

I think the placements were correct in terms of tech but Kaetyln should have been in first for presentation/performance.

My fave skates last night 1 Osmond 2 Med 3 Satoko 4 Zag 5 Loena from Belgium.
Kaetlyn should be on instructional videos for gorgeous technique.
