deevs, did we talk long program yet?

Posted by jingoist pixie (aka chris) Feb 26 '10, 09:08

hard to argue with the final standings (though i thought nagasu should have been scored a bit higher than she was. how good is she going to be in four more years?)

Responses:

I felt the same way. Couldn't argue w/the scoring. (spoilers?) - Diva Feb 26, 09:14 21
- as much as I'd have loved for Joannie to finish higher, she just didn't skate as well as those two. - zork Feb 26, 09:28
- also, Mao needs to *lighten the f up* - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:20 3
  - I imagine if she wasn't so pressured she wouldn't have been so miserable up there. it's sad when such a wonderful accomplishment is seen as a failure. - Diva Feb 26, 09:22 1
    - it was a great accomplishment -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:39
  - I think the Japanese would prefer losing to a Russian or an American compared to the country they lost to -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:22
- this Olympics has made me more aware of the coaches than the previous ones - my hat is off to Brian Orser -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:15 10
  - Tarasova did Mao no favors with that music selection for the long program. It was so Russian and not in a good way. - Diva Feb 26, 09:19 6
    - I see your argument, and I respect that. But I thought it choreographed well were as I thought Kim's music sucked ass for skating. -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:21 4
      - wow - I thought the exact opposite. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 09:23 3
        
        her music's rhythym and her skating rhythym rarely aligned -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:26
        
        it was classy! -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:24 1
        
        the music -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:26
    - i thought that too! -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:21
  - We're definitely claiming half of that gold. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 09:16 2
    - I'm going to ask you not to, because then Russia would demand a huge number of medals :) -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:20
    - *pops a Molson's and takes Kim on a Zamboni ride* -- nm - Brian Orser Feb 26, 09:17
- *falls again* -- nm - Carolina Kostner Feb 26, 09:14 4
  - I was referring to the top flight of skaters. NBC didn't show her, but I hear she was spectacularly bad. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 09:16 3
    - three falls and a touch down. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 09:19 2
      - all in all, this competition was much better than the last one as far as falls go - crash davis Feb 26, 09:24 1
        
        yep. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 09:25
The backstory on Nagasu has me convinced that there should be more financial support from the USFSA for athletes. -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:11 2
- Her performance in Vancouver should help her a lot with $$, but yes - there are plenty of other good skaters out there who could use the help. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 09:15 1
  - I can't believe her parents almost were unable to make the trip from California to Vancouver. - crash davis Feb 26, 09:19
lemme guess: you backed a loser again....nm - x Feb 26, 09:09 1
- my Joannie is no loser! -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:10
