2026 Olympics: Free Dance

[museksk8r]

Well, I didn’t get F/G winning bronze at the GPF and I don’t get FB/C winning this either. So ready to turn the page on this Olympic quad!

Maddie and Evan so gracious. I don't know if I could.

Robin Cousins is pointing out his twizzle step out.

The whole golden skate is. But judges were struck by those glutes. Struck I tell you. No other valid reason otherwise.

 

[TontoK]

Boooooo!

 

[yelyoh]

I suspected it when they won the RD. Oh well. PIPER AND PAUL GOT THE BRONZE!!!

 

[skatesofgold]

No. He didn't make a mistake. He was just out of sync. And he was marked down for it. That was the superior skate. If the judges were honest, P2 would be 2nd in the FD.

He's a one note skater. It's boring. All he does is lyrical contemporary free dances.

 

[Karoltyna]

I can't even say I'm surprised, this is an utter disgrace

 

[norwegianfairytale]

No they got the gold, please retire. I don´t want to see them for another quad that is going to be horrible

Well, Maddie & Evan are three-time Olympic medallists now, with two golds in the TE and a silver here. That is an incredible achievement, they have had such a long and successful career.

Piper & Paul finally got their Olympic medal in the individual event as well, and Charlene and Marco did the same in the Team Event. All of these teams have been a delight to watch over the past quad, but I am also hopeful we will see a changing of the guard. Ice dance is ready for new faces, and based on the success of Z/K, LaLa, and the other teams waiting, the next four years will be very exciting.

Also, support survivors

M & E have just won their first individual medal after 4/5 olympics. I'm happy for P and P. So happy for them.

Congrats to the medalists. I’m British so disappointed for Lilah and Lewis. Piper and Paul were brilliant. I had hoped Chock & Bates would win Gold.

 

[Rikku]

I felt the fix was in for the French team from the moment Cizeron announced he was coming back. Now that he has his gold, I hope he will just go away.

With the next Olympics in France? Not gonna happen, I think.

 

[Janice4th]

Yeap, gold is French. They are just better, nothing more nothing less

They aren’t. This dance is boring.

Loved Piper and paul. Skated that program to its best. So happy for them.
Chock and Bates were great.
I am opposite to many... I loved Laurence and Cizeron's program. Had me at the start.

Enjoyable competition.

 

[celiabiche]

itll be hard to watch much ice dance after this. I shouldve just skipped this event

 

[sissy7]

Am happy for Charlene and Marco, after the begining of the season, they have an EC silver and a TE Oly bronze, against all the odds that were against them

 

[cocteautwin]

G/F team medal and P2 individual medal - with all the clownery around I'll take it

 

[Ichatdelune]

I am just going to remember that Piper and Paul are Olympic medalists and go to bed, the judges may pretend to be blind but I pray that karma will not be so. Thank you all for keeping me company, love you all, watch me die on Friday

No. He didn't make a mistake. He was just out of sync. And he was marked down for it. That was the superior skate. If the judges were honest, P2 would be 2nd in the FD.

Yea okay I see, just watched the Europeans to see how it was supposed to look, he goes down indeed.

 

[freedomlover]

No. He didn't make a mistake. He was just out of sync. And he was marked down for it. That was the superior skate. If the judges were honest, P2 would be 2nd in the FD.

I agree with that, I thought Piper/Paul had the moment, performance wise and skating skills wise. But this, combined with the Fear/Gibson flop, just shows that Ice dance is again a sport of narratives and all IAM skaters get overmarked. Water is wet.
But I have to say thank you to all the great pairs who provided a good bit of entertainment.

Will be rewatching both Czech teams, P2, the Italians and Z/K.

I think we are stuck with them for years to come..
