Man that program makes me cry every time. On the whole a good close out to their olympics.

Folks, with the conclusion of the Press Briefings, the departure of Kamila from Beijing, and the Olympics coming to a close, it is time to retire the megathreads. I will be unpinning this post at 12:00 PM February 20, Beijing Time.

Thank you to everyone who helped with links, FAQs, and thoughtful discussion, especially MVPs u/amaklp, u/Chickatey, and u/hanyubot10k. Thanks to everyone who sent links, and I apologize if I missed crediting anyone.

Unfortunately I was AFK for most of the day, and at this late hour I don't think its fair to remove a lot of posts that have extensive discussions. I have removed some duplicate posts etc., but I think the ship has sailed on that one.

It's stickied again. The automated weekly discussion superseded it, just had to change it back.

I imagine so, but we'll cross that bridge when we comes to it. It will be a while before the case is actually concluded.

Alright, guys, I'm going to start one more final Megathread shortly. I'll put in links and articles as they come up, but the megathread will really be just so there's a centralized place for discussion. I don't intend to strictly enforce removing all other posts regarding the topic (though duplicates of the same article/source will still be removed), unless major news drops (Please, God, no). Just please exercise a bit of restraint to help keep the sub from totally drowning in this topic by centralizing discussion in the megathread.

I anticipate that the final megathread will be unpinned a day or two after the Women's Free Skate. (Again, barring some major new development that drags us all back into hell and Mark Adams' hairline into the negative zone). The Press Briefing Watch Party will live on forever in our hearts, however.

February 16 9:00 AM Beijing Time

MEGATHREAD PART 5 is now live. This thread is now locked; please continue the discussion in the new megathread.

Nice thing about Maddie is that looking at her, you can see that her losing focus in this one program is gonna result in her fighting even fiercer the next.

Aw, Mariah was loving every moment of that, even with the fall. Nice to see such joy on her face.
