This is a big rink and Nagaoka/Moriguchi look like they don't have enough space and can crash into the boards ⛸️ #4contsfigure Oh no the throws! Anyway I think they should medal?

Are Sui / Han really going to do the Free? She looked like she needed to be stretchered off 😖⛸️ #4contsfigure But it's Wenjing she'll probably try to muscle through it...

Kao! Mommy, I'm scared... #4contsfigure ⛸️ Wow, never so happy to be proven wrong. But save something for Milan, ok? (ANYWAY ALL THESE BOYS NEED A HAIRCUT)

Shaido! Can he reverse his trajectory in time for Olys? #4contsfigure ⛸️Kind of, still not at his best, but a step in the right direction. (Dang, ALL these young men need a good haircut)

Going to Olys: Iffy 4CC skate (save your best!)
Not going to Olys: Great 4CC skate
Prediction: Kao flop

Bad camera work: overhead shots, what the what.
Good camera work: picking out skaters in stands supporting their team mates, thank you, it's a cavernous and dark arena I don't know how you do it #4contsfigure ⛸️

Wow Sota! Best I've seen him skate in ages. I guess not having Olympics looming in your horizon gives you wings in 4CC 😅⛸️ #4contsfigure

Wow Kazuki! Maybe it's about not having to save anything for the olympics and going for broke in 4CC? #4contfigure ⛸️

Oh Chris, all you need to do is listen to how the ring announcer pronounces names, she's doing a great job with names from all round the world. (JIN, Chris, JIN not yin) #4contfigure ⛸️

Bummer: Olympics will be 2-6am my time 😭 (the way I'm feeling now, i.e., OD-ed on skating, I might just wake up for the last group at 5am). The tiny bit of upside: If I do want to catch anything live, I have no clashing appointments or work obligations 😬⛸️

The Chinese ring announcer pronounces Donovan's name better than Chris Howarth 😂😂 #4contsfigure ⛸️

Wowzers, not even halfway and we are already seeing so many good skates. I really should have gone to Beijing instead of Sheffield #4contsfigure ⛸️

Wow! Finally a good skate from Yudong Chen, he's been so up and down, happy for him, wish China supported young skaters more (rather than holding up older ones, ahem) #4contsfigure ⛸️

I may have missed my chance to give Chris Howarth a lecture on name pronunciation but it seems someone else got to him because he's actually getting some tricky ones nearly right. I can almost hear him thinking before he pronounces! #4contfigure ⛸️

Dias Jirenbayev! Possibly my favourite non-top tier male skater. Apart from beautiful skating and expression (jumps are fake) he endeared himself to me by sitting in the stands at last year's 4CC and diligently watching ALL the other skaters. #4contsfigure ⛸️

Not making the Olympic team and then winning #4contsfigure is such a boss move. Yuna you will go down in history, who cares about Milano! ⛸️

My children Yuna Nagaoka / Sumitada Moriguchi did so good! I nearly cried with joy. When I saw him at last year's 4CC I said "you are our favourite new pair!" and wasn't I right! #4contsfigure ⛸️

Love love that Wang/Liu chose 90s cantopop for their rhythm dance #4contsfigure ⛸️ I bet Shawn Rettstatt doesn't vibe to cantopop, but what can he say? 😆

Every single time Chris butchers a Chinese name horribly I die a little bit inside. I should be so used to it by now, but I'm so not 😭😭⛸️ #4contsfigure

Yuna Aoki! That was a skate for the ages. In years to come, we will be pulling this one up and saying This is how you do it #4contsfigure ⛸️
