2026 Olympics: Men's Short Program

[Zora]

Amazing. Ilia has such an aura!

 

[Jontor]

Ilia...no comment

 

[yelyoh]

I couldn't watch the jumps of all things. I just listened. Let's see the score. And Yuma.

 

[Ziotic]

Surprised Daniil Grassl is where he is. I like him, but surprised he hit 90, when Cha wasn't higher than he is.

Home Olympic advantage

 

[Blades of Passion]

Ilia should finish below Adam, but won't.

Adam's skating and performance quality is much better. That should be worth more than the doing Quad Lutz and Flip instead of Toe and Sal.

I'm out, let the gold medal contenders skate it out or whatever, I am so done with this farce

Don't leave. Besides Cha is in the final group for free.

Ilias's jumps are so stunning, his legs must be springs!

Plus he's been working on the interpretation so you know he's not stagnating which is very exciting too!

Still hoping for the 4A to show up!

I wonder where his mother is?

I couldn’t watch. I jinxed Shiffrin this morning, I thought it better safe than sorry.

I would slot Ilia behind Adam into 2nd. There’s no comparing the PCS of Ilia and Adam; Siao Him Fa should be way ahead!

Like it or not, but Ilias BV is much higher as he much more difficult quads. His TES will surely have him ahead

Ilia is incredible, the 4F and 4Lz were just perfect.

 

[Sabsi]

I miss Yuzuru Hanyu

Prayer circle for Yuma

 

[readernick]

Skating after Shaidorov makes Ilya look like a master of the blade. His spins are nice too. Not his most convincing performance but easy lead for now, I think.

 

[Skater Boy]

I am impressed under all the pressure Adam, Daniel, Mikhail, Andrew, Kevin, have held up well. These were the one's who could easily be out of the top ten. GOod on the Ukrainian skater but I think we will see Max and a couple of others move ahead in thef reeskate. Impressive skating I admit. THeJapanese men have opened the door so it most likely allows an American, A japanese and a wide open spot on the podium. Llike the way the Olympics wrote it/wanted it for ratings?

Tracy:
"Well [Nika] actually trains in Moscow under Eteri "Tubernidze". I remember the controversy with the 2022 Beijing Games... uh, she coached then 15-year old Kamila Valieva, who tested positive for a banned substance. The 15-year old was suspended for 4 years - as you see there, her [Eteri in the KnC next to Nika] there on the right, uh, she received no reprimand. And still coaches a lot of from Soviet Union countries their skaters."

Cold war ended 35 years ago. Maybe a lack of education.

Back at home since she gets too nervous watching him live.
