I don't understand how the American is the only one that even attempted a triple axle, lands it, though a little awkward, yet gets third. Don't you get rewarded for difficulty?

Quad God will need to show up and win it for Team USA.

You have an artistic and a technical score. She missed a technical combo. The difficulty is what kept her from dropping further than 3rd.

So don't even try to push it. Play safe but hit a perfect routine.

That was a bit sarcastic, but true.

Her routine without the triple axel would likely have been 4th or 5th.

I mean, I've seen figure skating over the years watching the Winter Olympics, but I do not think I have ever seen someone be able to do a backflip in their routine.

Malinin is insane.

I cannot embed the video here.

That's because they had been outlawed for like the last 40 some years. Recently lifted the ban on flips, though you don't get any scoring advantage doing one.

Anyone arguing it’s too feminine are too insecure. I’d never fricking try those jumps for pure terror of tearing everything in my knees and ankles following my splitting throat with a skate blade.

It’s track and field shite on ice. It’s impressive as hell.

The French woman on their ice dancing team and especially her skimpy outfit was worth the watch today. My. Goodness that azz was spectacular.

When did they start the whole team event thing, I remembered individuals and/or pairs competing and winning but now it seems everyone scores are all lumped together?
