2026 Olympics: Men's Short Program

[elektra blue]

stellar quad, amazing choreo and no combo, your cactus king for you

 

[Jontor]

Hi from the past!

I am still only on Matteo Rizzo. I realise I won't catch up to being live. (I put Samoilov on 1.75 speed, and that felt like a rave party gone wrong).

My boy Gumennik still 5th, but I fear he might not even make the 2nd group for the free...

Wait, I thought no Prince Music was cleared for the Olys. Didn't an ice dance team have to change music last minute?

Kurt just asked the same question on CBC.

 

[YuBluByMe]

NOOOOOOOO! Way off axis on the 3Lz. And he was working it before then too.

 

[freedomlover]

the pcs might save him from not qualifying.

 

[TT_Fin]

Sad about the combo but the quality of the other elements should be enough.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Sasha was doing so great until he went sideways on the 3Lz . This program is so amazing he said "screw it, I'm going to skate to it at the Olympics even if the estate of Prince decides to sue me for it"

 

[bartlebooth]

But Jesus Christ, Sasha, you always delude us and then disappoint us when it hurts the most. Better than four years ago with the shoulder injury, I guess.

 

[cocteautwin]

Oh no, it started so well

 

[museksk8r]

Clean 4toe to open. And a clean 3Axel. Shit! Down on 3Lutz. I pounded my hand on my desk and my poodle rushed to my side to see if I’m alright. Ugh, it was all going so well up to that point!

skating to Kiss by Prince IS EATING THIS SHORT PROGRAM

 

[labgoat]

Thank you Matteo that was lovely

 

[Jeanie19]

Aleksandr. Great outfit and program. Shame about the combo, but still a good skate.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

I didn´t know his parents are from Ukraine

 

[Seven Sisters]

Gentlemen—stop this Euro-man behavior this instant!!
Enough!!

 

[FlossieH]

Can A.Selevko still qualify with the whole combo being invalid, or has he gifted a spot to Sabate?

 

[yelyoh]

Ah that fall and miss. He was doing so well. Sassy sexy SP.

 

[Rikku]

I still love you my Estonian cactus, but

 

[EdgeCall]

Getting our hopes up only to crush them in a flash. What a masterpiece of cactussing.

I thought no Prince at Olympics
