2026 Olympics: Men's Free Skate

[snowflake]

Not Daniel's best... won't beat Mikhail

 

[museksk8r]

Hmm, I’m guessing that will be about 6th place for Grassl.

 

[chepe]

Well that ending was slightly abrupt

 

[FlossieH]

A bit scrappy from Daniel on the landings, but not a bad skate for him. I would have Shaidorov well ahead of him.

 

[elektra blue]

So yall aren't a fan of this class piece of opera, huh? LOL.

i like more the Klingon theater honestly

 

[Blades of Passion]

Grassl is shockingly the guy so far who has put the most into the performance. Ended late with the music though and that costume change isn't dramatic enough.

 

[MalAssada]

Grassl seemed to really run out of steam on the second half of the program...

 

[el henry]

Well, one skater behind, but still need to comment.

I love happy tears in the KnC. Love love love. Also love that Kazakhi skaters are actually Kazakhi. Well done Misha.

I know it's his heritage, but that music sounds like Klingon opera. Holy moley

 

[freedomlover]

My GOD I just can't get into Grassl's skating, and he has some of the worst jump technique of the top men in decades.

ditto

 

[Seven Sisters]

Daniel calling on some divine intervention towards the end there, seemingly running out of steam

 

[Dreamer57]

BBC are showing Ilia Fluff, as gold favourite, instead of the event. They really are useless.

And also, hopefully they don't jinx.

Malinin is the only name they remember...felt surreal hearing Clare Balding mention his name so much!

 

[GGFan]

Some mistakes but props to Daniel for always being unique. Only he could pull off that program

 

[elektra blue]

Daniel's FS opening: "The pope is dead."
Leo XIV, casually watching the Olympics:

his clerical name will be Sixtus Sextus

LOL. Shockingly is this take.

 

[yuumagical]

Man, now I don't know if the pope is alive or not

 

[EdgeCall]

Good skate, but not good enough. No godly support for Daniel's mission.

 

[Ruthypegs]

I have to leave and can't watch the last group.

My sister had an emergency and is at the hospital. I'm leaving to visit her now.

Hope she is doing OK now, @Jontor

 

[Dreamer57]

Does anyone know where this music is from? What it's called?

I think Dimash sings the first bit.

 

[reader3]

What a marvelous skate from Misha!

 

[Skatingcat]

I'm thinking the only person who's gonna beat that technical score is Ilia.
