[figure skating]: EEEEE
JAVIER FERNANDEZ FOR GOLD 2K19!!!
It was really fun to watch the men and pairs and US ladies. Everyone feels like they improved from the beginning of the season and is bringing their best, which is cool to watch. Mikhail Kolyada FINALLY killed his short program! I'm so happy for him! Kevin Aymoz was really fun to watch (he did a cartwheel in his step sequence) and Javier was so good! A bit badly judged, but he is determined to win.
US pairs and ladies short: pairs is...eeeeeehhhh the politics surrounding the pairs competition was not great, if only because people made some shitty decisions. Ladies was better in that no one made any stupid decisions as far as I know, and they did really well. Mariah Bell's short program is really fun to watch, Alysa Liu did that triple axel and is probably going to be on the podium even though she's not eligible for senior anything else for forever because she's 13. If she keeps it up, she could do a lot for US ladies because...well...compared to the top countries they haven't really had anyone able to challenge.
Three more days (including today.) It's been weird watching figure skating from early morning to late at night because the events are scheduled like that.
