Hard to replicate the magic of the Team Event, but still a good skate.

Q 84.30 = 8th Place

 

[NinjaTurtles]

We tried to move and found people who bought seats for their coats (allegedly) and wouldn’t give them up.

The #latestagecapitalism moment that could be my supervillain origin story.

 

[MacMadame]

I have new appreciation for Rizzo after the TE Shame about the quad.

And L3 on everything (so far)

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Work had the nerve to expect me to work.
Just catching up to scream in glee for Torgy!!!!!

 

[Wyliefan]

I have new appreciation for Rizzo after the TE Shame about the quad.

Yeah, I still miss Memola, but Rizzo's done well.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Rizzo really had A Moment in the team event. It must be so hard to try to replicate that; today wasn't perfect, but still a good effort.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Well, baby-Rizzo already got everything he could have possibly gotten, so I'm at ease.

 

[Carolla5501]

Watching Scott in the studio with Mike makes me happy Scott is not calling the event.

I’d take Scott over sideshow act any day. At least he realizes he’s not the main attraction

 

[Lara]

Shame about the quad but I’d honestly have a tough time caring too much in his shoes after the Team event.

 

[tangerine dream]

CIAO ITALIA! CIAO MILANO!

 

[Private Citizen]

Matteo kept it together after the quad but this won’t place super well. We’ll see how low it goes….

 

[susieB129]

This has to be just extra whipped cream and cherries for Rizzo from here. He achieved his goal, in the most dramatic and heartwarming way.

 

[Asli]

Matteo did the 3axel just one second into the bonus time.

Also I hope he completed the rotations of his last spin because I'm sure that finishing pose was supposed to be facing the judges and not the short side of the rink!

 

[Sally1214]

Some of those fans seated with the Italian flag looking less than impressed with Matteo's skate. Come on guys, you enthusiastically support your home skater at the your home Olympic games even if it wasn't quite his best. Matteo looks happy, so that's all that matters to me. Enjoy every moment of your Olympic experience, Matteo.

 

[Finnice]

I just hope Matteo is happy with team bronze.

 

[Karen-W]

Looking at the scores coming in for Matteo, Max is going to safely be into the 2nd group for the FS.

Crazy right now that there are 3 men with 80+ scores who are likely to be skating in the 1st group if the rest of the men skate up to their potential.

[mattiecat13]

From what I hear from every-four-years friends and social media chatter, Scott's still pretty popular.

And those are the people who think Scott did skate in this century.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Selevko el viejo.

Cizeron could never

 

[Prancer]

They think Johnny and Tara are relevant. What do you expect?

Johnny like his slang, but it really dates him. Not that that's unusual, but sometimes he will say something and I think "Only NBC execs think this is the way the cool kids talk."

 

[Colonel Green]

How did he clear this music when others couldn’t?

 

[Colonel Green]

Uh-oh.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Browning: "a lot of crossovers!"

 

[overedge]

Hope I don’t jinx anything by saying these Olympics are the first time CBC Gem has ever done anything/worked for me. Other than the Great British and Great Canadian Baking Shows that is!

Uh-oh, now you're going to get three minutes of commercials before every skater

 

[Karen-W]

SCoB is going to be extra proud today with both Selevko and Naumov skating so great!
typed too soon - dangit! Can't believe he fell on the 3z!

 

[Sally1214]

Darn .... it was going SO well.

 

[Braulio]

So this program will block any posible Youtube version of the short program later because of copyright

Selevko better make it worth

 

[Private Citizen]

Selevko Selevko’ing, sigh. Should still quality I’d hope? (Don’t have the standings in front of me)

 

[Citlali]

Noooooooooo

 

[umronnie]
