I think a lot of people are overestimating Kamila’s chances here. I am fully confident she won’t be allowed to compete and that ROC will lose the team gold (which I find fairly tragic for the rest of the team tbh).

At this point I wouldn't be that surprised if Schizas found her way on the podium tbh.

I think all three Russians will pull out of the ladies. The IOC will urge them to pull out as even then IOC can see how damaging this is. They could easily lose western sponsors over Doping.

If we are getting into conspiracies here, will all Western skaters threaten to pull out in the event Valieva competes?

Some might make their views known and protest.

Her performance in the team event gives her an outside chance, but it would probably take all three Russians to not appear and maybe a couple of falls by some of the other top skaters.

Male single skaters invited to the gala:

Nathan Chen

Yuma Kagiyama

Shoma Uno

Yuzuru Hanyu

Jin Boyang

Morisi Kvitelashvili

Keegan Messing

Vincent Zhou

Why Zhou?

It’s ridiculous and offensive to other skaters, Cha & Brown in particular.

Probably because he couldn’t skate due to his COVID positive test.

Right. Let's try to make this thread more readable again.

 

Rhythm dance today. Perhaps my favorite segment of the entire figure skating. There will be some very enjoyable programs. Go Madison and Evan!

Very happy to see Garabedian / Proulx-Sénécal finally make their Olympic debut.
