2026 Olympics: Pairs' Short Program

[Karoltyna]

Deanna and Max

Clean triple twist.

SBS 3toe - max hand down and step out. Man, he has been really sketchy with his jumps this season...

Thr3loop - Clean

Side by side spins unison pretty good, although a bit slow.

If they want to go into first then they're going to have to sell it like crazy, which is kind of what she is known for Max needs to try to match her even 50%, lol.

Final lift - beautiful like usual
- but she goes down right the lift, after hitting her feet into the boards!

Will it be considered just a fall, minus one, or will it impact the lift score?

GODAMMIT MAXIM

...it was maxim that tripped her, right?

 

[lileychristie]

NO HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!?!???

 

[GGFan]

I’m so happy they made it to the Olympics but I’m so mad about that mistake. Damn you skating gods!

15. Deanna STELLATO- DUDEK & Maxime DESCHAMPS CAN
SP: Medley of Carmine Burana: "In Trutina" and "O Fortuna;", choreo by Lori Nichol

3Tw4
3T (far apart, Max hangs on, forwards, and down)
3LoTh
CCoSp4 (great unison)
StSq3
5RLi4 (fall on dismount from lift, drops GOE)
BiDs3

SP: 66.04 (10th)
that's a good score, but this event has been so strong that they're in 10th place

DEANNA STELLATO IS AN OLYMPIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The way she skated this program, you would have no idea she had been off the ice for a few days and struggling with a medical issue, this program is fantastic for the two of them and that dress is stunning! More than anything, though, I am so happy to see her here, on Olympic ice, delivering like the queen she is!!!!!

oh nooo not the lift fall on the dismount, she just got too far back on the heel and they lost 3 points in GOE on that element plus the deduction, but the rest of the program was soo good

Wish I could work out how to do this.

I bough a surfshark VPN some years ago because I watch quite a bit online from other countries, it makes it easy. I did try out proton at the same time, also not too hard (and I am a complete Luddite! but I have found the best way to overcome Ludditism is to google "how do you...") and there are free ones.

 

[skylark]

Ouch. And I was enjoying Max's smiles before the fall happened.

 

[niks]

Oh no!! What a random fall (drop rather?) out of nowhere! How did that happened?!!

Edit: in the replays it does look like a fall by Deanna once she was already on the ice, very inexplicable

 

[bartlebooth]

Oh, no, it was going amazing.
Deanna, we're not worthy.

 

[FlossieH]

I'm really glad Deanna made it to the Olympics. I would put them behind Lia and Trennt and some of the other pairs today, though.

 

[discodisco]

Shoot... one of those fluke moments. I think they were just too close to the boards on the lift exit.

 

[Rikku]

Carmina Burana! One of my earliest classical music loves.

Where else could you find a song about a swan lamenting that it's being roasted?

 

[Seven Sisters]

A small timing error. I’m not bothered about it, given the circumstances. Bravo Deanna & Max!

 

[Demandred]

Just when I was thinking they were doing really well under the circumstances and this freak fall happened.. Such a shame.

 

[maofan]

Deanna seems a bit shocked, I hope she is ok! Was going so well…

 

[Jeanie19]

Deanna/Maxime. Her dress is gorgeous. Great program. Random fall but still a decent skate.

 

[museksk8r]

My stream is being really choppy. I didn’t exactly see how her fall happened.

 

[tulosai]

You know what, slay queen slay. Deanna really held it together, nerves of steel, all the respect to her. Mistakes aside, remarkable attack.

Light candles for Deanna's knee

is it the knee that was her injury prohibiting her from competing in the team
