2026 Olympics Team Event: Pairs' Free Skate

[underrotatedflutz]

WOAH!

 

[cocteautwin]

Wow, just wow! If they will continue to skate like that they will runaway with gold. Great momentum. They're in great form, not even so tired at the end (while usually he's dying). I also think the composition of the program is superior to other teams.

 

[LeReveur]

Not sorry for writing that the last two pair teams are not artistically impressive to me by any means. Such a disappointing quad of pair teams.

Kurt says there was a sense of calm about them.. I disagree, that was probably one of the most robotic skates I've ever seen them give. It was a good program, but they were skating more mechanically than I've seen them. Definitely did not enjoy that as much as I have in the past, and definitely prefer the Canadians Gladiator program as I felt like they had far, far, far better connection

 

[Karoltyna]

Give them all the points

nah, give them more

 

[4everchan]

What was that, a perfect lift? Why silent now, biddies?

they are talking... LOL. noting that the SBS jumps were too far apart etc .

 

[freedomlover]

WOW. 155?????? 155?????? Whats the free WR?

 

[Skating91]

lol 155 get out of here.

 

[Sabsi]

155.55

 

[tulosai]

My goodness what a score!!!

 

[SmileHappy34]

Fantastic skate.

 

[elektra blue]

15 minutes before women starts...i should visit the toilet...

 

[discodisco]

Hmm... no way was that a 155 score. No way. I love this team, and I think that was definitely the winning performance, but with one mistake and the distance between them on the jumps, and the relatively robotic skating, that should not have been above 150

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Aww, Team USA bowing

 

[museksk8r]

Wow, a 16 point victory for M/K!

 

[FlossieH]

Hmm. That is a huge PB - but I really don't think it was the best skate I've seen from them.

 

[Demandred]

Miura and Kihara were fantastic, clearly the class of the field.

Riku's reaction to the score was hilarious.

 

[snowflake]

Of course they're nervous lmao.

Even when its an unrealistic team gold, there was a (edit: Japanese) media storm that started after Yuma beat Ilia in the short.

you mean there was a media storm in Japan? or elsewhere? I haven't seen it

 

[Sabsi]

Can’t we just copy and paste both of M/K’s programs into the individual event and give them their individual gold medal already?

Same for the German commentator. He mentioned that immediately.
