Kam/O'Shea have to be ecstatic! They scored a PB and Elie's cleanly landed throw jumps turned out to be critical for US Gold.

I love how you can see skaters from other feds are cheering and applauding Matteo's performance in that photo, @Andrea82!

I thought the whole thing was pretty exciting. Oh, those Italians! But I guess the Italians can make anything exciting.

okay so I should have phrased that differently. I really meant between Gold and Silver, because I was all in on Italy getting that Bronze, and Matteo was the highlight of this event for me. Even a perfect Shun could not score high enough to beat a semi-perfect Ilia (which happened) and I thought if Good Anatassiia showed up she very well could be second and beat Amber (which happened). Still wanted Japan to win though.

As well as Marco crying.

And Babs the most unhinged of all.
