How amazing would a Japanese sweep of the women's figure skating medals be?

This song always makes me think of Blades of Glory 🤣

Oh hello. Was that Regé-Jean Page at the women's figure skating event? Sitting with the Little Mermaid actress?

3rd place? But she was delightful!

Kurt Browning bringing up Q from Star Trek while commentating on figure skating was unexpected lol

Okay, so I didn't imagine it?!?

I've got the VHS *and* the DVD 🤣

Toe-pick!

An excellent thread to read ahead of the women's short program. ⛸️

I wish I still had access to the Atos-Origin Games Info System. 🤣

Some interesting music selections coming up in the women's figure skating short program.

Michael Jackson. Madonna. Whitney Houston. Peter Gabriel. The White Stripes. Led Zeppelin. Celine Dion. Laufey. More Madonna. Donna Summer.

I think so, *unless* Italy manages to beat Canada *and* Korea manages to beat Sweden tomorrow, in which Canada is fucked? But it's possible my math isn't mathing.
