I went straight from SP to practice this morning (worst practice ever

, in solidarity with Paniot), were supposed to sleep for a loooooong time afterwards, but woke up after 2,5 hours, wondering what on earth was going on. I will for sure pass out in a few hours again. Haven't recovered after all the emotions from Empress big day yet, and before I know it, men is on.... #it'sawomansworld
Viking recap:
Overall:
So many highs and lows, but what was to be expected
Hair battle: Brezina vs Kerry vs Paniot
Power of the zippers???
Montoya - Didn't wake me up.
Chafik - Aymoz wasn't send anywhere because he has doesn't do a quad???
Zhou - Trying to be lyrical teenager did pretty well
Ten - I will quote da bossman: "I cannot even describe the heartbreak I am in. This SP is so stunning and I can't believe we do not even see the equally stunning FS on olympic ice. 18 skaters with better PCS, WTF judges, WTF?"
Sigh. My Denis.

Rizzo - Good boy, make sure Gypsyking sticks to tattoos and golden sneakers.
Martinez - Who in their right mind being the first alternate to OG will stop training when you know the history of the Swedish Olympic committee? Sorry. That was just embarrassing. Wearing the 4 sizes too big Lidl-ripoff of Joubert's Matrix costume didn't help.
Paniot - As I said in the PBP: (((Ukrainian puppy))) Three MESS-awards in one SP is hard to beat.

Even the hair couldn't help him. And I'm sure constantly changing the lay-out doesn't either. Nipple
@Jeschke?? And I'm blamed for going after the kiddos

Yan

- Power of the cheekbones. Rock and splat in one performance constantly, of course he's still in. That shirt helps too.
Yee - I actually don't remember much.....blame it on the suspense
Kerry - Good job, whatever....
Moris - After leaving Haddaway, it's all gone downhill. At least his rainbow outfit in the FS is cosy to look at....
Messing -



1994 called, they want their everything back.
Brezina - For sure he wanted to stay on the team! Now wait for the FS.
Cha - Cutie! The PBP was more about hair than skating. Cha's content shows that had D10 watered down, he'd be in the final, but of course no, go for that 4s that you haven't landed all season

Good for homeboy to make it through, with no mistakes. Great music! Love the edge work, great stepseq.
Fentz - I swear that shirt was once pink. Good to make the final, but I need to see that quad again, now it's been MIA for too long. #dontletvikingdown
Ge - He's dating Zabiiako? Really? Good for him!
Jorik - Yay, talk of grabbing the Olympic moment. Again, if D10 had watered down...
Danny Salmon - White wolf came to play. Keep feeding it boy, keep feeding it.
Rippon - Dear Adam, I love you to death, but there's a fine line here you're about to cross. WHEN YOU CUT YOUR SLEEVES TO WEAR THEM SHORT AND TIGHT LIKE MICHAEL WEISS, DO NOT FLEX THOSE BICEPS DURING PROGRAM!!!!!! That is all. Yours sincerely.
Gingersoldier - Our boy, he's a standout! So proud of him!

He's been going a bit under the radar, now he'll pull a Sotnikova after being left out of the TE for head case Kolyada, unable to skate a clean program to save his life, who now has an Olympic medal and Dima has not. Saving T/M for the individual event? Yes, that was big help. #missionbronze. I was amazed how calm he looked afterwards, no drama, no over the top-emotions, just a really cool kid. Maybe he grew up during those last months? So so so happy for him. Glad he's going first in the FS, get it over with, put pressure on the rest. But of course I'll be dead. Dead. But 4z, H*** yeah! Who needs Kolyada anyway?
Chan - Exquisite. Let me just watch his blades all day. Made the final flight, respect!
Tanaka

- Yes, I am crying


That program is sooooo good for him, and he really came alive with it at 4CC. Slay back in the free boy, slay back!!!
Bychenko - Misha Schmerkin reincarnated.
Yuzu - Oh, how I love him! He's the one of few who manages to effortless weave those quads into the programs with no effort, no struggle. SO impressed with him coming back from injury like this. And the opening move, when he's just standing on the curve, staring at the judges is so bad ass. He's hypnotizing them. Love his introvert, yet powerful style. Love how the program builds, with actual speed in the steps, and actual choreo that fits the steps, not just trying to fit as many turns into it as possible. #firstsincebutton #missiongold
Chen - The poor, poor kid! What pressure he's been under. He needs a Mao-moment in the FS. (Skating to Mao's last dancer that could happen. Pun intended

)
Kolyada - I'm seriously loosing faith in you. Sorry. But you are free to prove me so very wrong in the FS. Oh, wait. It's Elvis. It can't be done.
Javi - I'd be very happy if he gets a medal, but that program is not my cup of tea. Stellar quads.
Boyang - Still something lacking, watching him after Uno and Javi, but I'll take it. Miss Spiderboyang though....
Velvet Pocket Prince -

My wish came true. I got this Olympic program skated clean. 3a was better in the TE, but I'll take it. He's such a dancer. He moves with the music (the one war horse I love forever). The way he holds his head, moves his arms, bends his knees, leans on the edges is clinic. I want two Japanese medals, one of them gold, then the rest of the games is whatever, and I can just enjoy. #missionmedal
