2026 Olympics Team Event: Women's Free Skate

[ruffledgrouse]

Maddie looks to be phoning in her musical interpretation. Where is the commitment?

Maddie's vibe is aggressive, I wish she had a program that played into it. There's a disconnect between her and the music. I would have loved to see her skate to New World Symphony

Edit: aggressive might be the wrong word. Fierce and intense is what I mean

Maddie down on 3Lutz. Bummer...
3 flip good - maybe Q?
3 loop good
3 sal great.
She really needs to attack and give everything. No losing levels or letting things go.
3lutz - 2a-2a good.
3loop-2toe - solid
Jump combo in missed...

Lots of yellow on the scoreboard, but besides the fall on the Lutz, she really hasn't let go of anything. Good for her I don't think this will move Canada up at all, but good for her not to give up after the fall.

At any other time this would be considered a Great Skate, but she lost two triples with that fall because she couldn't do her combo.

No, she didn't. She changed her planned content and added it in later

At least Amber doesn't have to follow Kaori....right?

Go Italy!

Very impressive recovery after her opening fall, seems though like it affected the performance ability after that.

Shame about the missed 3/3 combo but the rest fine. Didn't come alive until the jumps wrer done. But not bad.

She’s after Lara in the 4th position.

Yes, Amber goes before her.

Well done Maddie!! Love how she's determined not to make any other jump mistakes after the first fall. I was hoping she would do -2A-2A combo after missing the first combo, and she did!! Great thinking

 

[RatedPG]

125 (SB) for Maddie
64.97 SP means she just misses 190 overall.

Fine skate by Schizas, minus the one mistake.

 

[freedomlover]

I know a lot dont like gubanova, but I like her grit.

 

[museksk8r]

Gubanova’s costume is the most expressive part of her skating.

 

[Ichatdelune]

On the bright side, it's easier to visit them if they are not in the slammer.

I don't really like visiting my uncles though, I'm too old to be getting pocket money from them and they ask me awkward questions like "Oh you write? Are we seeing a bestselling author now? Should we get your autograph before it becomes expensive?" Give me a glass-melting liquor brewer any day

 

[museksk8r]

Quite a few of Gubanova’s jumps will be reviewed for full rotation. I am seeing the UR in real time and that’s not good.

 

[Ziotic]

The rotation on these jumps is highly questionable.
