It's that lovely time again where we all get to cheer on our country's top athletes...as well as our favorite Korean athletes too! This FFA will serve as a place to gather and chat about the games with your fellow Omonazens and there will be a new post every day with updates about medal counts, crazy wins, or heart-crushing losses.
For a schedule of what's going on each day, you can check here at the sochi 2014 website and well as the bbc website.
You can check out Team Korea here to see who's ready to compete! (Go Women's Curling!)
Here is a list of all the athletes for Team Korea competing today!! NGL, the Sochi website is pretty well set up and has been awesome for figuring out times and such for events (especially since you can have the times synced to your timezone~)
my computer screen can barely fit the ranks lol
Here is today's event schedule!
stream 1 BBC 2
stream 2
each event is listed with a link!
Who's excited for Ice Dancing finals tonight?!?!

Date: 2014-02-17 08:54 am (UTC)The Canadians allegedly had buggered up a Finnstep, which is a tricky, 36-second-long compulsory quickstep segment that is worth a lot of points.
Now, Virtue and Moir, who had just come off the ice and hadn’t yet had time to review the video, didn’t think they’d screwed it up, but then, maybe they wouldn’t.
But more tellingly, the guy who invented the bloody thing — the plucky Finn Petri Kokko, who invented the step when he and his future wife, Susanna Rahkamo, were competing in the 1994-95 season — was tweeting, “Hope Virtue/Moir wins. Americans timing off in #finnstep and restrained even otherwise.”
Then Kokko tweeted that Virtue and Moir “should be leading in my opinion” and said, “I don’t understand the judges in ice dancing.”
That’s a former ice dancer talking, baby, not this schmoe. And he and Rahkamo were world silver medallists and two-time Olympians. And, dare I say again, they invented the Finnstep, being Finns and all and having done it first.
I hope & pray to the syrup gods that Tessa and Scott get gold. I'm so scared for the outcome yall. SHIT IS GONNA GET REAL EITHER WAY!

Date: 2014-02-17 09:12 am (UTC)they best get married after they retire. it's so weird/awkward to see scott with his gf on tessa&scott. mostly because scott and tessa have a billion times more chemistry and they aren't the ones in the romantic relationship.

Date: 2014-02-17 10:10 am (UTC)“I said to Tessa after we finished: That’s the skate that we have been having in practice. To do that on this stage, it felt pretty good.”
They’d nailed it, the short, better than at any point this past season on the Grand Prix circuit. “That was the strongest we’ve skated for sure,” said Moir.
I'm glad they're stoked about their performance

Date: 2014-02-17 10:49 am (UTC)I wonder what they'll talk about....I was talking to my coteachers about her after she won gold and saying how pretty/cool it was that she had such pretty nails and when gold and everything and my one teacher said that she had then done as stress relief.
Apparently people make fun/point out her strong "horse" thighs and it's became a complex for her that caused her to lost 3kg :((( Then she started getting her nails done as stress relief and to feel more girly. IDK how much of that is true and how much of it is gossip but like
Damn. Doesn't matter if you're an amazing decorated athlete or what, you're still not good enough to some people :(

Date: 2014-02-17 02:24 pm (UTC)Would you rather the angry fans blame D/W when it isn't even their fault whats going on? It IS the judging. V/M skated fantastically yesterday and deserved their PB but didn't get it because...?
Because of the judging.
It's not even just the V/M fans who are upset. The creator of the Finnstep is even confused about the judging in the SP.
