2026 Olympics: Men's Free Skate

[museksk8r]

Ugh, darn 3Lutz was the downfall of Lukas and Sasha! What did they ever do to you, Alois?

 

[Ichatdelune]

You know what Sasha I'll take this

Meanwhile why does the live scoring say that he did a 3A2A when he obviously did a 3A2T, he didn't zayak you idiots

...I am speechless, we got a near-clean Sasha Selevko at the Olympics with this masterpiece of a free program? This was spectacular skate and I am so happy to see this program skated up to its potential on Olympic ice! (fyi the last two jumps of everyone's program don't exist anymore, it's a new rule that the ISU implemented 20 minutes ago)

 

[snowflake]

Beautiful start for Sasha! If he could manage to stay clean the whole way through, the top 10 is possible for him!

well no

 

[LeReveur]

Such a shame that Selevko botched those two jumps. He's been a revelation for me this event. I haven't seen loads from this quad, and I don't know if I had seen him before. He's more musical than some of the big names we've had in the past ten years.

 

[Rikku]

Us: Please Selevbro, do the thing

The ghost of Alois Lutz: Hold my ectoplasm

 

[EdgeCall]

Wow! Selevko put it all in. Unfortunately it was not enough, lost steam for the last jumps. Impressive, energetic skate.

 

[Sabsi]

Incredible first half for Selevko let's just not talk about the second one

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Yeah, that's the issue with Olympics (and obviously even moreso summer ones), too much stuff happening at once too often. And even with the ability to find retransmissions it's hard to avoid getting spoilered for the results.

Tell me about it! I am having to watch a lot of things delayed, especially since my two favourite wintersports, figure skating and ski jumping, are always on at the same time.

I was catching up on biathlon and cross country today that I had missed, and I debated whether to watch them in the order they happened, or watch them in the order the next races are on tomorrow.

I decided on the former, and I am so glad I did because a matter of minutes into the cross country coverage, Patrick and Mike had told us what had happened in the biathlon! (They had commentated on it too).

Seleveko just copy pasted Lucas, started so well and lost it on two last jumping passes

 

[Jontor]

Everyone seems to die halfway through...
Is the ice hungry?

 

[museksk8r]

Yikes, Sasha got slow and sloppy there at the end. What a shame! Appears he needs to fit more run-throughs in his training to overcome that lack of stamina.

 

[yelyoh]

Wow Selevko. Met the moment.

 

[snowflake]

Whatever the score I liked his performance

 

[auser]

Enjoyed Aleksandr's expressive skate even if not all elements were perfect.

 

[Jeanie19]

Sasha. Nice red shirt. Really good program. A couple of mistakes but still a good skate.

 

[YuBluByMe]

The pops are going to be costly, but this was a good skate for Selevko the Elder and better than Europeans. He’s always been a good performer and can sell a book with blank pages. Heh, he’s also my mom’s favorite skater.

 

[Demandred]

This was just beautiful, he is such a good performer. Too bad about the lutz, which will be downgraded, but he should get huge PCS.

Sasha Selevko is not His Majesty the King of Cacti for no reason, he is as wonderful as he is prickly

 

[niks]

The part of Selevko's choreo where he beats the boards it's quite something. And this time, it quite worked, he looked half dead coming to the boards, did some big tapping and seemed to get a second life to try and finish the program
