Must have missed it somehow. I'll look again. Thanks.

Cross-posting this from the Canadian Pairs thread:

Congrats to Canada’s Annika Behnke and Kole Sauve for being named Canada’s flag bearers at the YOG closing ceremonies! Great recognition for them in achievement of their Pairs Gold Medal and Canada’s first medal in an individual discipline at a YOG.

It’s there in Sports-Figure Skating. Saw as I was selecting the Four Cs icons.

I’m not watching YOG Team event. I’m sure that Cayla will do well. Looking forward to descriptions.

 

[Belsornia]

Ashlie Slatter and Atl Ongay-Perez will be the flag bearers for Team GB!

The stream is live and the dancers are about to be introduced.

 

[Desperado]

Will watch as long as I can. Not super interested in 4CC ladies.

 

[Karen-W]

Will watch as long as I can. Not super interested in 4CC ladies.

I'm the opposite I'll watch this later. Probably.

 

[Desperado]

Gotta love Scott Davis as honorary Canadian coach/cheerleader.

 

[Karen-W]

Gotta love Scott Davis as honorary Canadian coach/cheerleader.

Not as much as we love Cayla "Head Team USA Cheerleader" Smith.

 

[Desperado]

Not as much as we love Cayla "Head Team USA Cheerleader" Smith.

No love for Aaron Lowe?

 

[Karen-W]

Huge score for Ilin/Cain. I love how Cayla has totally brought Sherry Zhang along with her for this wild ride.

 

[skatfan]

The French are not gonna play the game of team are they?

 

[skatingguy]

No love for Aaron Lowe?

I thought he was with the Korean team?

 

[victorskid]

A much bigger crowd here than in Shanghai for the Women SP.

 

[Karen-W]

All two pairs teams here, earning major points for their countries!

 

[victorskid]

I thought he was with the Korean team?

Yes, he is.

 

[skatingguy]

What sort of maths are we in for tonight?

 

[skatingguy]

Not as much as we love Cayla "Head Team USA Cheerleader" Smith.

The kicks during the introduction.

 

[Desperado]

2 pairs?! This is such a weird event.

I thought he was with the Korean team?

He is, and I was looking at the K team with their weirdo sunglasses and everything (facepalm).

 

[Karen-W]

What sort of maths are we in for tonight?

Well, no Russians here so it should be proper, correct maths.

 

[skatingguy]

Well, no Russians here so it should be proper, correct maths.

I wasn't sure - I see two pairs teams so does that mean two points for the winner?

 

[Karen-W]

I wasn't sure - I see two pairs teams so does that mean two points for the winner?

I think 5 & 4 but you might be right that it's 2 & 1. We'll know in about 10 min, lol.

 

[victorskid]

They only have to count to 5.

The standings after the FD:

Rank	Team	Nation	Total Points	Men Single Skating	Women Single Skating	Pair Skating	Ice Dance
1	France	FRA	5			-	5
2	United States of America	USA	4				4
3	Republic of Korea	KOR	3			-	3
4	People's Republic of China	CHN	2			-	2
5	Canada	CAN	1				1

 

[Desperado]

The convoluted “why there aren’t many pairs here” explanations really show how skeevy the sport can be.

 

[Karen-W]

USA - 2-ft landing on the 3tw, good on the SBS jumps. Cayla was going to hold onto that throw landing no matter what. Bit sketchy with his blades on that 2nd lift. They have really nice speed in the choreo sequence and the death spiral. Nice program tonight.

 

[Desperado]

I didn’t need to see these lifts again, but the rest was lovely.

 

[Wyliefan]

I didn’t need to see these lifts again, but the rest was lovely.

I took one look and switched back to the zamboni in Shanghai.

 

[Karen-W]

So, it's 5 & 4 points for the 2 pairs teams. Definitely gives the USA an advantage going into the Men and Women.
