2026 World Figure Skating Championships | Men's Short Program

[Jeanie19]

Gabriele. Wonderful colorful shirt. Fun program and skate. He saved his best skate for Worlds.

 

[4everchan]

no quads but everything was landed and how entertining! i feel good too, Frangi. @4everchan you're using the right fertilizer

who says Frangi is quadless ? not me LOL

 

[cocteautwin]

bald man in black appeared

 

[lileychristie]

GO GO GOGO!!!!

 

[elektra blue]

Yeah "racist" maybe is a bit much...

It's just kinda tacky, but if Gabriele approves than that's fine I guess

when you mock somebody's nationality it's racism guys. and we italians have been victims of racism throughout the history of the world (rats? lazy people? criminals by nature ring any bell?)

 

[snowflake]

Stephen seems so calm

 

[bartlebooth]

Racist?!

I see it more as him making an effort. Something a lot of commentators in this sport don't bother doing when saying names.

Pronouncing names correctly is commendable. Putting on a fake Italian accent while speaking English during the presentation, eh, not so much.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

no, Gordon, when you mock somebody else's accent it's racism. simple as that. what would you think of someone making the chinese accent with L insted of R? it's the same thing

It didn't sound like mocking to me. But, if you as an Italian consider it to be mocking, then I guess that is what matters.

Oh noes with the boot lace?

 

[Ziotic]

I have to say, this program has really grown on me this season.

 

[Arriba627]

Frangi bringing the sass! The James Brown vibe really suits him. Nice job.

 

[4everchan]

Clean Gogo with extra laces !

 

[snowflake]

Gogo can't do anything wrong nowadys... apart from knitting his shoelaces

 

[cocteautwin]

Stephen is going for that podium. Even laces horror can't stop him. Amazing skate.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I cannot believe Stephen survived that program with those laces doing their best to kill him

the ISU really needs to consider partnering with Duct Tape and do a mandatory taping of all bootstraps and laces

 

[bartlebooth]

Benoit is into it!

 

[elektra blue]

that was great despite the boot malfunction

 

[Jeanie19]

Stephen. Great suit and program. Great skate.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Makes you wonder if he truly didn’t feel his laces coming loose?
Also—hasn’t this happened before?

 

[Karoltyna]

That was the lace thriller... boy oh boy, I need a drink...
