2026 Olympics: Men's Free Skate

[Arigato]

Panda Man, I'm fine with it. You're a great kid.

Ilia, please take a leaf out of Nathan Chens book when he had a meltdown in 2018 and came back 4 years later and became the Olympic champion. RISE LIKE A PHOENIX ‍

 

[moonkat]

I'm wrong. Holy ----!

 

[Sabsi]

SHUN BRONZE

Sochi had better skating skills from the entire competition. WOW. I am bamboozled.

Eh that's a given.

We were screaming about "art" being lost in Pyeongchang - and yet I'd rate all of that top 6 higher in terms of watchability factor for at least one program than anyone here.

And then 2017 worlds >>>>>>>>>>>>>> anything that's happened since then.

Congrats to Misha, Yuma and Shun!

 

[cocteautwin]

Michail desereved it, he was clearly the best today, well done, huge congrats to him.
Happy for Yuma and Shun.
I'm shocked.

 

[SNAKSuyun]

I thought Shun deserved a medal but not like this

 

[shan22044]

Was there only one clean program tonight? I can't believe this. Does it mean JUN GETS A MEDAL?

Nathan had a chance at a younger age... I still believe in him of course.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

It ain't over till it's over, Ilia's not immune from nerves either. But it's unlikely he doesn't get gold

I'm going to buy a lottery ticket now

 

[GGFan]

Craziest result. Sports are the ultimate drama.

 

[LazyFuzai]

Awful just awful competition.Level even for a mens was a disaster.
The bright point in all of this is that Pairs and Women in front if us.

 

[moonvine]

Dear goddess. Gary heard me screaming in pain from the other room and said “it must not be good” and indeed it was not. Such good sportsmanship from Ilia though.

 

[TT_Fin]

That's sportsmahship, from both Misha and Ilia.

 

[Skatingcat]

What is it about the long program that makes the men melt down? Everyone seems to bring it in the Short.

 

[4everchan]

At work. Just saw the results. I'd this a joke?

 

[FlossieH]

Shun is crying his eyes out.

 

[bartlebooth]

Well, Misha, take the gold and run!
Happy for him and Sato, they wanted the medal!
I'm so devastated for Adam.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Look at Shun! In tears!
