2026 Olympics: Women's Short Program

[EdgeCall]

I cannot remember watching Olga skate with so much energy. Wonderful!

UR: Check.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

That should be enough for a Q, danke schön

I'm just happy Zhang is in

 

[Paulipau]

That's the best Olga skated since 2021 probably.

JULIA I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! She has one of the best 3Lzes in the business, honestly, and always has so much joy and personality on the ice. Apart from the slightly tight landing on the loop and axel that was a fantastic program from her and I really hope the judges go with her on the components. She has had a lot of funding issues, I think at one point she was working as a waitress to fund her skating career, but now she is putting out fantastic programs at Worlds last year, Europeans, and the Olympics.

She's a great example of a skater peaking late in their career! That lutz is *chef kiss* now, but she didn't have it at all until like 3-4 seasons ago.

That should be good PCS-wise for Olga

 

[Ares]

Mikutina wowza. She's also on today! It really looks like she regained a great form for the Olympic Games.

What about UR?

What UR

 

[yelyoh]

Olga nice work. Final pose+. Into the FS.

My daughter did so well Olga has such a unique style and movements! Loved it, yes, maybe some rotation issues on the combo but there was not a single empty moment in this program. In my book, she deserves higher PCS than current leader but it's not going to happen, sadly.

 

[Demandred]

All these yellows in the tech box worry me, let's hope it's just the tech specialist being wary about her rotations and she will only qs and no UR.

 

[moonvine]

How many Qs do we have.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Mikutina is always interesting. I really liked the choreography and I think it was the best program so far. She’ll get rotation calls, but this is the cleanest she’s been in awhile.

 

[EdgeCall]

Should be enough for the free. Phew!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

How many Qs do we have.

She has q's on her 3Lz, 2A, and 3F, which are all costly in terms of GOE but don't reduce the BV like a carrot (<) would

How are you seeing qs? The Olympics protocols don't show them (unless I'm missing something)...

Heh, I’m glad I’m not the only one that made this mistake. I think moonvine means qualifications.
