“You’re walking home”

Interviewed by Andrea Joyce (still alive) and says it was mental

From what I could lip read

Malinin: you were amazing, congratulations
Shaidorov: are you ok, I’m sorry, commiserations

 

[rlayt]

You have to commend him for his honesty and grace.

I have now watched two and a half ice skating routines this Olympics. Wasn't he supposed to canter home? What the hell happened, is he injured or did his head go?

 

[rlayt]

He said it was mental.

Head went. Seemed to happen to a few of the top qualifiers

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

How unfortunate. I can't even begin to imagine that kind of pressure.

The French Ice Dance judge has a history of this. https://www.newsweek.com/sports/fre...-evan-bates-jezabel-dabouis-olympics-11513730

And will be allowed to continue judging bc apparently cheating is in fashion.

I was double screening men’s singles and skeleton (woooo ) and enjoying the skating. IPlayer left skating as the top group came on and only returned when BBC2 came back with Grassl. Felt cursed. What a mess Looking forward to finding the winning prog later.

God damn, that was crazy. Ilia was right, they should have sent him to Beijing 4 years ago.

I love Jason Brown, but there was no justification for sending him if they didn’t use him in the team competition and there were no spots on the line for next season. The idea of waiting your turn is so misguided.
