Our Norwegian figure skater is the nation's first in 50 years and she makes it to the free skate, not bad! Shame about the early mistake. ALthough of course it says more about the sorry state of our figure skating in modern times.

This is now GB's most successful winter olympics since 1936.

 

[killer_clank]

Yay Scotland

Lolo Jones's doesn't even come close to getting a medal in bobsled. She shouldn't have been on a bobsledding team to begin with.

Murakami... :-(

she was holding back her tears.

Wauw 4th place for The Netherlands in the bob, nice performance!

If the US or Canada has a crash, Netherlands will medal

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Horrible steering by the US. Put some better athletes in the Belgian and Dutch sled and they can compete.

No Lolo

 

[Pedrito]

It wasn't fast enough I think.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Canada passes the US in bobsled to win gold by 1 tenth of a second!

 

[criesofthepast]

USA fucked up bobsleigh on last run! Canada wins gold!!!

 

[Pedrito]

It wasn't fast enough I think.

Oh, it was.

Good job girls.

 

[krae_man]

Damn Americans tanked to ruin our shot at the Silver Record. What are we supposed to do with this Gold Medal?

 

[Megasoum]

Bobsleigh gold!!! WOOT

 

[Branduil]

I heard that Canada bribed the timekeepers to cut half a second off of their bobsled run.

 

[zroid]

Genuinely shocked Humphries/Moyse took that. Didn't think they'd be able to come back from the deficit but they pulled it off. Congrats girls!

Haven't seen any of the Bobsledding today but I'll get caught up after Canada loses to Latvia

 

[Pedrito]

Now, if we could only beat Latvia...

 

[Onion_Relish]

Damn the driving quality between 1st and 2nd was worlds apart. Feel bad for the yanks for throwing it away but Canada with the gold repeat.

 

[LNBL]

Medal or it doesn't matter

Country's best performance yet and the sport is so small in The Netherlands. No training facilities in The Netherlands or ice track. So yeah it kinda does matter

 

[Pedrito]

That's how we roll.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Did Gracie Gold fall? Thats a very low score for her

 

[PjotrStroganov]

They were the only ones in the top 3 who actually had some redeeming qualities in the sled. The Americans just stampeded their way through.

 

[Solo]

HUMPHRIESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

OH MY GOD. KILLED IT.

 

[criesofthepast]

The usa fucked up that last run about as bad as one could. Hit the walls like 5 times & lucky they didn't wipe out completely.

True, but Humphries' run in the third run? SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN!

 

[Peru]

Her personal best is just a point higher though.

 

[Pedrito]

The usa fucked up that last run about as bad as one could. Hit the walls like 5 times & lucky they didn't wipe out completely.

And still had the third fastest run. They have a magic sled.

 

[Onion_Relish]

The usa fucked up that last run about as bad as one could. Hit the walls like 5 times & lucky they didn't wipe out completely.

At one point they had a huge skid that lost them quite a bit of time and that basically sealed the deal.

Now canada needs to step their game up and crush these fucking latvians

 

[sphinx]

Did Gracie Gold fall? Thats a very low score for her

she had a clean program but her landings were a bit rough, she is 5~6 points behind yuna but she'll remain in the run for a medal.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Her personal best is just a point higher though.

Oh damn, so maybe she didn't fall but just had some shaky landings. NBC had been hyping her up so I assumed she was good, but compared to the Russians, Koreans, etc. she's not even close to their level.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Whoo 3 more medals (curling, curling, hockey).

 

[Xcrypto]

No matter how Julia (Yulia) performs Yuna Kim will be the most elegant winner for me.She was flying on the ice.

 

[perfectchaos007]

USA will finish the day in the lead in total medals. Norway leads in most gold medals.

 

[zroid]

Yeah it seemed like no matter how many bumps the Americans had, they were hardly losing any time. Didn't seem possible for Humphries to make up the difference.

[Kifimbo]

Probably was unfair to Brad Jacobs this whole tourney, so major props to him and his team for making it to the end.

 

[sphinx]

today will be a bad day for the japanese female skaters, with Mao very likely failing on the triple axel, I am sure the japanese federation will be a bit upset after the placements..

Overall, I think all 6 skaters in the men's and lady's event came to sochi with WAY too much pressure from their country.

Fame comes at a price, it seems. Daisuke, Mao, Yuzuru, all very popular in their country but also with everybody's expectations on their shoulders.

 

[perfectchaos007]

It's Yulia time! Can't wait for her ending spin. Hope she doesn't drill into the ice!

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Probably was unfair to Brad Jacobs this whole tourney, so major props to him and his team for making it to the end.

I remember people hitting the panic button when they were 1-2. But they won the Olympic curling trials over Martin, Howard, etc. so you know they're good. Glad they made it to the final.

Hopefully Jones is more Miami Dolphins than New England Patriots.

Don't think the Americans are favorite to medal here. Might have an outside shot. Yuna Kim is probably the overwhelming favorite to get gold.

 

[TCRS]

ah fuck. that was perfection until then. but she's still going strong.

goddamn. almost perfect. poor yulia.

What element did she slip up on?

 

[TCRS]

What element did she slip up on?

she messed up the landing after the flip jump and fell. everything before and after that was pure perfection though. the flowers showed it, it was raining flowers. poor kid was devastated though.

e: woah carolina. brilliant.

 

[Cuddler]

Carolina!!!!!!!!So good!!

S.Y.D. by Pink Floyd!

In regards to the flowers....Dat home crowd doe...

And honestly I think her falling at that point is the best thing to ever happen to her. #pyeongchang

 

[TCRS]

goddamn, one brilliant performance after another.

That's cool, nobody cares about the bobsled anyway, you guys can take the medal.
