Liu’s presentation is what you want to see. She isn’t lost inside herself, she’s engaged with her audience. Great skate, IMHO.

Somehow, I suspect every skater to follow is going to be given a higher score by the judges unless they fall multiple times…

The Belgian skater’s presentation is lovely, but her technical quotient should be much lower than Lui’s. Nope. Judges have her within two points.

Belgian’s degree of difficulty was much lower. Lui lost a 10 point score by one second - one of her combinations planned for the second half of her routine was ruled in the first half on a clock. 🤨

Lipinsky & Weir breaking down the planned technical components of the final four skaters - one Korean and three Russians. 🙄 Admittedly, the potential exceeds the accomplished score of the skaters who have already performed. For anyone else to reach the medal podium, butts are gonna hit the ice or elective downgrades by the skaters as they perform.

I remember when a US male skater was the only one to land a quadruple jump. Now, female Russian teens are throwing quads like they’re potato chips, not even the sandwich.

Now, that’s a true triple axel! Oops! Fracked the following triple triple combo.

Despite the major frack, she tops the technical score of the Korean atop the leaderboard. 🤨

Unless one or more of these three Russians utterly melts down, the judges will give them all medals.

The redhead, Trusova bobbled two jump elements early in her program, but is throwing quads like bread loaves to the masses.

Weir & Lipinski note her lack of artistry, but her technical score exceeds 108, miles above those preceding her.

Technical component downgraded to 106+, but total score exceeds 250 - more than 30 points above others.

Second Japanese skater on the ice, now. Sakamoto is clean so far, but her routine lacks the plethora of quads.

Shcherbakova does care about presentation and is engaging her audience. She’s performed a quad-triple combination and a quad without deduction, but her technical score is short of her quadraphonic compatriot.

The pressure of the focus on her failed test must be impacting her. Three bobbles and butt on the ice. Gone is her fearless perfection. It’s sad to see.

Valiyeva is heartbroken on the ice. The crowd chants “4 more years” in heavily accented English. They want her back in the next Olympics.
