2026 Olympics Team Event: Pairs' Free Skate

[LazyFuzai]

Not gonna lie.Judges gives +5 to every team today.Like cmon

 

[underrotatedflutz]

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

157.56

 

[Karoltyna]

Dunno who reacted better, Yuma or Alysa

 

[lariko]

the old biddies is one of the most respected Pairs choreographer (pairs skater herself) Sandra Bezic.... Brenda Irving is just the host... not commenting on the performance but on how Russian they actually are

And lying, because they didn't switch to Russia because of the war, represented Georgia way before, and Berulava never even represented Russia. Yeah, Tarasova knows more than them.

 

[RatedPG]

Wow!! 155.55
If you add their SP score… Close to 240 overall
The Japanese team really are outstanding and I hope they win a much deserved good in the individual event.

 

[freedomlover]

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

Yeah, Japan (just edited it). Definitely for all the news that are covering the Olympics. They know the team gold is a long shot, but even Yuma was on Twitter yesterday correcting an outlet that had misquoted him.

 

[GGFan]

Great job, but side eyeing the score. Love M/K but I don't think they're in Sui/Han, Savchenko/Massot territory

 

[readernick]

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

Judges have a habitat of overscoring the rightful winners to make the result clear especially in the Olympics. But, it was a good program just not their best artistically.

 

[freedomlover]

157.56

They might come close to that in the individual without mistakes.

 

[elektra blue]

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

we're giving aways ome cannoli tonight, but we're giving them to everyone, you know we italains love to feed people

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Riku celebrating so much when the scores were announced that she fell in a heap on the floor!!!

And Ryuichi then lifting her up was so heartwarming.

But even when she was down, she didn't stop celebrating!

I am so happy for them.

So I'm assuming that curling will end as the women start, see you soon

 

[4everchan]

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

flush twice to make sure rinky and my predictions stay down there

 

[discodisco]

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

Well they were - the camera could barely fit them both in the same screen. I love the Japanese team, but that is a very fair criticism of them. They don't have the same issue on the triple salchow but their sequence starts far apart and just gets farther and farther apart.

 

[lariko]

Compared how they never shut up during Georgians' skate and went down on Berulava forever before he even hoisted Metelkina like they wanted them to fall, jinx them... just horrible...

 

[museksk8r]

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

I really hope so! They have been gifted so many major titles with really flawed skates this quad. If they are the inevitable OGM winners, I want them to go out and really skate clean for it!

 

[LazyFuzai]

If that's the same level of points i have no words.

 

[Karoltyna]

here you go, lucky me, already forgot what my peedictions were

 

[underrotatedflutz]

They might come close to that in the individual without mistakes.

definitely. in fact, if you combine their sp and fp scores from the team event, you'd get 238.41, only 1.4 points off suihan's world record. i do see the possibility of them setting a new wr in the ie now

my perception : Luka has had issues with his turns so many times during the season that this is now a concern for everyone. this is why they are rambling about it non-stop. just like people are rambling non-stop about Ellie's throws... or Marco's twizzles

when something goes badly consistently, commentators pick up on it.
