2026 Olympics: Free Dance

[moonvine]

Thought Johnny Weir was wearing mourning attire at first glance.

Why are people watching him?

 

[Sabsi]

How I feel right now

Well… as long as you still have both ears, you’re doing fine.

Whenever I see “German commentators” mentioned, I gasp.
In recent years, none of them have really engaged deeply with the sport or the athletes. I’m so grateful I can watch on Eurosport.

Def better at Eurosport in Hungarian too, although it is not a high bar, my mom laughs at me everytime I correct them

When I was working I would take the week of Olympic figure skating off as vacation…

And now the amount of available content is out of this world!!

I am going to work. I just cannot lie. I am too honest

That just confirms we are same person. I was once told by my doctor to lie to qualify for a better test that he couldn't order. I said I didn't know if I could do it, so my husband volunteered. And he followed through!

@norwegianfairytale I was gifted a piece of brunost once and I liked it, but I cut it with a knife because I don't have a cheese slicer, is that ok?
Having discovered that Messmör comes in tubes, I approve Milla's horrified tone.

Of course, not everybody has a cheese slicer. The correct way to do brown cheese in Norway is to put them on waffles

sometimes, Iwish I didn't have ears when watching ice dance... it could save me from EXO....

but I do enjoy his very nice lines.

 

[moonvine]

I am just a dedicated fan... you know... Piper and Paul are for me, like Jimmy Ma for you

You are engaged?

 

[YuBluByMe]

I can watch this in total peace. I want Chock/Bates to win gold since they are the ones that got me to start watching ice dance, but I’m not so invested in that.

 

[Ichatdelune]

You are engaged?

I don't think Paul is poly so no

 

[4everchan]

You are engaged?

HA ! you know me... far from there. But if Frangi proposed, I don't know if I could really say no.

TOT: 165.23 (1st)

This was a much better outing from Sofia and Val compared to the rhythm dance. They seemed so much more settled and in control throughout this program. The twizzles were a little tight, but otherwise they skated this program well. I don't know if I love the character step, but at least they are doing something unique with it.

Good start by Sofia and Asaf

 

[tulosai]

Interesting team, lots of potential. Some very unusual and eye catching positions in the lifts that were cool to see.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I thought for a second you meant EXO the Kpop group and was like until I realized what Val/Kazimov were skating to better EXO than BTS though

I never really knew there were more than one group since that’s what the networks showed. I went to great lengths to remain unspoiled. I STILL remember when I went to a DOCTORS appointment and was spoiled to the Nancy/Tonya results.

 

[TT_Fin]

HA ! you know me... far from there. But if Frangi proposed, I don't know if I could really say no.

What will you do with your other boyfriends them?

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Tracy is not on CBC.

I don't know my commentators, lol. It was the lady with the British accent, but it's fixed now

 

[auser]

Why are people watching him?

I am watching that stream to see levels on the tech score box. I kind of tune him out.

 

[EdgeCall]

Beautiful start! Even Muse couldn't stop it.
