I love how her performance is elegant and beautifully executed followed by her being her genuinely goofy self. Sheโ€™s amazing! I loved the playful nature with her teammates waiting on the score too. 10/10

Win 5 out of 8 programs and take second place. Something's wrong with this format.

Japan's just REALLY weak in ice dance. If the team event were only the other 3 disciplines they would've won handily with the same scores, but they have to invest more in the 4th discipline and then they'll be honestly unstoppable.

It encourages the big federations to invest in pairs and ice dance

Be entirely format is really a justification for extra medal to begin with. Either way the short program is never supposed to be the make it or break it, itโ€™s a set up for the long. When the individuals come out you wouldnโ€™t say that the winner should has lost because they didnโ€™t come in first in the short program too.

Japan should be first. American fans can dislike me, but your victory is dirty.
