2026 Olympics: Men's Free Skate

[freedomlover]

Feel like after the TE and Ice Dance mess that the judges have decided to be stingier. Ofc, the performances also havent been all that great but

 

[Jontor]

OK Nika!

I have you 5th in my predictions. A LOT OF WORK TO DO!

 

[niks]

My stream went completely awol for Denis' and Matteo's skate Not fully complaining because it was a miracle I found stream that worked for me in the first place, but still buhhhhh

I'm glad Matteo has his bronze medal from the Team event

 

[Sabsi]

men! they never do what you want them to do

there is only one solution, more vino

 

[Seven Sisters]

How can anyone not love Matteo Rizzo

(Well—I guess it takes all kinds)

 

[Arriba627]

Good job Matteo! Happy for him to have had a decent Olys in front of his home crowd! And he has that bronze Team medal to cherish! Bravo!

 

[Ziotic]

I dare anyone to say the team event wasn’t more important to Matteo??

 

[snowflake]

Now GO Eteri's student!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Was Matteo's costume trying to match the pattern on the boards?

You taught him well, @elektra blue! Attention to detail!

Really did not like those two shots they showed in the replays when the camera was in the spot where he pushes off the boards.

He goes into 3rd position in both the FS and overall.

This was beautiful from Matteo. The pop was a big loss for the score though and some of the spins were a bit off

PCS have been really low in general today, he got more than 4 points less than he did in the team event.

 

[bartlebooth]

Shame he couldn’t repeat his team performance

Emotionally spent. He did it when it mattered the most. Twice: Euros and Team Event.

 

[elektra blue]

there is only one solution, more vino

more vino is always the solution

 

[freedomlover]

246 was third at some GPs this season... Kao might make a jump still

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Ahhh, the music of a simpler time

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

OMG HOT ISU PRESIDENT JAE-YOUL KIM IS THERE

Given that he is married to a granddaughter of the founder of Samsung, I think he might be out of your reach.

I wish Nika was doing his Deadpool program right now and really charming the audience with his character work.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Despite the opening splat it seems that the Kaos kill count will stop here

 

[Paulipau]

Nika pulled it together, solid lad.
Too solid in fact, wooden even.
He is only doing the moves, zero artistry.
