2026 Olympics: Women's Free Skate

[FunsizedFlier]

So excited to keep following Ruiyang after this and see where she goes!

 

[Jontor]

Ekaterina made it...just. Whole skate felt UR...

 

[LazyFuzai]

The "necklace" part being bigger than her head is really bad.Also the choreo looks so random and chaotic.Complete opposite of what Katia always presents.

 

[ManyCairns]

Delightful and heartfelt from Kurakova.

 

[auser]

Charming performance energy from Ekaterina.

 

[Jeanie19]

Ekaterina. Elegant black dress. Good program and a good skate.

 

[cocteautwin]

Yess, Katia! She survived. Beautiful person, beautiful olympic skate Rotation never was her best friend but who cares, she nailed the performance.

i'll be impressed by a Noulin rouge program when the skater start spitting blood on ice

Man, don't curse us like that! I'm still shook by Jessica Dube's 4CC

Don't give them ideas. Way way back in the day, the year they had a Dracula themed FD, Maurizio Margaglio allegedly was toying with the idea of skating with a fake blood capsule

 

[TT_Fin]

She looses levels from spins because not all demanded positions says Marianne.

girl, please

I like this program from Katya, minus the extended running section in the steps, through I do think she's performed it more in other comps. Still a good skate for her, even with the rotation issues

The "necklace" part being bigger than her head is really bad.

It's a direct reference to the movie.

 

[Demandred]

Well done Katya, apart from that loop which is surely getting an UR call. And she took a very long time to prepare for most jumps which affected her overall presentation.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I have mixed feelings.

That is an absolutely gorgeous dress that Ekaterina KURAKOVA (POL) is wearing. But, I'm not sure that black suits her. She's our Little Miss Sunshine , after all.

And I wasn't fussed on the music.

But, I just love Katia.

And I loved Florent's style of skating when he was competing.

OK. She just showed us a picture of her and a dog,

She goes into 3rd position in the FS, and 2nd position overall.

[Karoltyna]

Ok, I'm ok with this score, she should be happy too
