Oh god the German fucked up, that was painful to watch

It was sad

that first korean girl who skated was qt

user... i...

Right after I told someone how good the men’s skating should be this year compared to 2014.

My stream is baaaad, any other options out there?

>Kraut
>skating

>Germans
>those falls
>those pit stains
>that music

Germany is incapable of grace, finesse, and poise

>that look of absolute shame as he walked off the ice

Get a tv

Look at my country, bro. I live in the jungle.

Also, let's go Shoma

European guys were really weak this year.
Quads are the main thing but so many guys aren't consistent at all.

They should've kept the tech box from Euros/4CC with the GOE's.

is that a Tara Lipinski clone in the USA box?

That Asian American qt in the corner

When did the French guy skate?

>two falls in two jumps

why is every single country using american music

If everyone keeps choking on difficult moves will their scores wind up being lower than the south korean’s skate?

Damn run a zamboni over that ice you savages

Oh god this will be miserable again

idk

US coverage decided to interview one of their correspondents for about 10 minutes (the city of NBC)

imagine dedicating your entire life to this gay ass "sport" and you can't even land a triple axel

>Yuri on Ice thread

Yeah, my stream is from NBC. What an awesome coverage.

There are so many cute Korean girls. It's to be expected when the average Korean girl isn't and over weight obese ham planet on average

>oasis
>american
whatever you do, don't ever go on Sup Forums

i hope those old and middle-aged ruskies go out on the ice

>OAR
Is that a new country?

Oh god another double wipe out, this time for China

It's the code for the Russians, since they were technically banned.

Go pasta

nice ascot

Is pasta gonna fuck up?

I know, why don't they just call them the refugee team since they are competing under the same flag?

>OAR
theyre an awesome jam band *rips bong*

This guy is going full pasta

Looks like Fred from Scooby doo

>red right away

Matteo is a cute twink

What is a red and what is a yellow? He didn't fall, while people that fell got yellows.

He’s not droping his spaghetti

italy first team to bring the song of their people

>just got first
you jinxed it

Cute and talented. Go, pasta-kun!

What go you guys into figure skating?

The answer to this question is obvious.

A jungle friend! Olar

Red could be a fall or a really bad landing. It seemed he landed bad even though he didn't crash. They look at all things technical.

>Chen

They got two young guys this year in men.

It's either under review, or minus grade of execution.

He was actually competing in the Junior Grand Prix this year. This is a big step up.

I would go to an ice skating rink when I was a kid, and my mom took me to one of Tara Lipinski’s performances because she was my sister’s favorite

We're all fags/girls in here.
Hola :^)

red means you didn't do the required element/trick, so if you were supposed to spin 4 times, but only did twice, then you get red even if you nail the landing. you get yellow if you do all 4 spins, but fuck up the landing.

I vicariously live though them

SporTV just changed to this from curling. Too bad it's dudes instead of qts.

Kim Yuna

Oooooh I'm all about the dudes. I'll take a look, thanks!

JJ STYLES

Will the Kraut hang himself after that fuckup?

>russia doesnt have a flag
rekt

I see how they're praising him so much, is he supposed to be better than Hanyu?

>dat warm up by based Nathan

Just give us the gold

i don't have a problem with it, or think it's "faggy," but i'm only watching it because i'm hanging out with some friends (female) who are watching it (plus i get to shitpost about it here)

Well Hanyuu JUST’d himself earlier this year, so people are doubting him

BASED

>wonderwall
Deserves a deduction tbqh senpaitachi

inb4 Chen chokes

>only a single green
JUST

Nathan? He has more consistent quads but his other elements and performance aren't as good.

Team competition depends on everybody else too and USA is weak in pairs though.

>tfw checked ice skating gossip boards out of curiosity and half the beginner posts are from overweight twenty-something women asking if it’s still possible for them to learn how to figure skate and compete
YOI was a mistake

Based music choice

>Dust In The Wind

why red?

>Canada

>chan

He fell twice kek

appropriate choice
reflects his dashed hopes
>tfw 2014 was 9 years ago

yfw Chen’s program music is “Gummo”

>His chances at a medals are just dust in the wind

why is a 27 year old considered past their prime in skating?

so how much kissing does mens figure skating have at the olympdicks?

>chan chokes again

>can't even beat Italy

>yuri on ice
>it's yaoi
why is this allowed

you need to be young, limber, thin, and super flexible for the judges *wink*

Because you need to be flexible. By time you’re in late 20s all the jumps & spins take a toll on your body.

>tfw my yuri on ice blu rays STILL haven't shipped yet

It gets harder to perform jumps when you’re older and if they do something like fall on their ankle the injury will probably be worse. Flexibility is crucial.

Because youthful exuberance beats experience in this sport

Did he go clean at Nats? I need a clean performance of this program at least once.

Hope the individual competition is better, don't need another Sochi splatfest.

High intensity sports are like that, user. You push your body to the max and that fucks it up real fast. Very few sportsmen can keep at it past their 30s.

How do i get a qt figure skating bf?

Rigged skating says otherwise

Someone post a working stream. That reddit bullshit isn't working I'm not surprised

>1st place that clusterfuck

Who got into figure skating during Olympics because of Yaoi on Ice?

Take the YoI shit to discord

>chan in first place
the fix is in

>Canadians too afraid to show their face in this thread
