The Cutest Parts of Figure Skating

nobody:

everyone:

Chris Howarth: “I think the battle for Gold proobably is gonna be between the two Russian boys, but it will be very, very interesting to see what happens for that bronze medal position.”

Chris Howarth: “The question on everyone’s lips is going to be: Can Daniil Samsonov keep his head together and put together a good free program?”

Chris Howarth: *mentions that Samsonov and Mozalev competed in Senior nationals, but not that Yuma did as well and won Bronze in Japan*

Chris Howarth: *says that Aleksa Rakic has given himself a shot at winning the bronze over Yuma, then repeatedly acts like it’s a fight for bronze between Yuma and Aleksa (even though Yuma has 3As and quads planned for the free and Aleksa has neither of those, and even though Yuma won gold over Aleksa with a margin of 34 points in Courchevel - did Chris not watch that?), doesn’t consider the possiblitly that Yuma could still win gold until he talks about Yuma’s planned program content*

Chris Howarth (during Mozalev’s skate): “He must have this in the bag now.”

Chris Howarth: “That I’m sure is enough to win [Mozalev] the gold medal. With the best will in the world, I cannot see Kagiyama doing anything about that.”

Chris Howarth: “Is that gonna put it completely out of reach for Kagiyama? He’s gonna have to skate out of his skin.”
