2026 Olympics: Women's Short Program

[Artemisa]

What have the judges got against Isabeau? She was beautiful!!!!

Mone thank goodness! Now I just have to survive your final skate.

Isn't what they got anything against her ... it's that she skated after Lui ( and looked boring ..)... and if American federation has to protect one or two was amber and LUi

Deserved 1st place for Nakai. I like when the most ambitious win sometimes.
Congrats to Adeliia for getting in the last group despite skating 2nd.
Top 3 can very be the medalists at the end but anything can happen.
I just hope Jia and Mone will skate well.

Now i'm off watching Ilya Rozanov talk in an hilarious accent in the french version.

Have you considered a career in motivational speaking?

Amber can skate her FS totally free of pressure and expectations now.

Well at least she isn't the Canadian girl. Who is going home without skating her fs. Gabby Daleman must be laughing. But Amber probably won't even be in the penulatimate group.

Tbh I don't think Gabby will be happy about her rival's misfortune. She knows all about mental health!

For those with the superstition... Adeliia is fifth..

I don’t understand? I am missing something?

 

[EdgeCall]

I think she can take it .. because she has a 3A ( and a good one) .. so even in the worst scenario she is still fighting for podium.
I think the problem was the LP in teams .. she was affected by it

I think there is something in her head and she just can't find a way to get rid of it. Still hoping the best.

Petrosian is 5th after the SP, will we see from 5th to 1st for the third time this Olympics?

 

[Mariott]

Congratulations to Adelia for making top 5 from the first warm-up. Proud of my baby!

 

[nickp91]

this may be japan's olympics for the figure skating because silver team event bronze and silver in the men's gold in the pairs

 

[Rikku]

I don’t understand? I am missing something?

Mikhail was 5th after SP, so were M/K

 

[Mista Ekko]

the 5th spot in the SP has been the lucky on so far these Olympics
so maybe Petrosian can harness that energy to get on top

But honestly, I like this current podium and hope they all compete well and stay,
Maybe a little shuffle in the positions would be cool though

Winner of men and pairs were both in 5th after the SP.

I don’t understand? I am missing something?

IN the pairs event and men's event, the athletes in 5th after the short ended up winning gold medals

This was really a roller coaster of emotions.

I am happy that the Japanese women did so well. I also appreciated Alysa Liu's calmness given the situation. Also great to see Loena Hendrickx skate a clean program with the style she's known for.

I'm sorry about Amber and Isabeau messing up on their loops (though Isabeau's mistake was significantly less costly). Hopefully they can skate well in the free.

 

[Jontor]

I'm so glad Samodelkina squeezed into 12th (thanks to Amber). That will be important PCS wise.

 

[Janice4th]

As i am the supporter of Adeliia Petrosian, hope she can do 2 quads in FP, only then she can be on the podium. I cross my fingers. I wish her the best. I am not so much interested in the other skaters, as their FP is simply classic, usually no exciting parts could be expected.

​

I’ll take a beautifully skated program without the quads over her clunky skating.

 

[shan22044]

What's with the audience, where's the applause for Mone

They ignored her when she was announced too. I wonder if maybe they're just not familiar (such a deep pool in Japan)?

 

[Janice4th]

IN the pairs event and men's event, the athletes in 5th after the short ended up winning gold medals

Oy. I hope not.

 

[elektra blue]

good night everyone! love you all

Baloney on that last part--USFS isn't sacrificing Isabeau so they can "protect" Alysa and Amber. Not sure how the Fed would do that anyway. As for being at a disadvantage skating after Liu, sort of. I've thought since last fall that Isabeau's SP music/choreo was not a good strategic choice for the Olympic season. Too similar to the previous year's (better) Moon River program, too cutesy where she needed some gravitas.
