2026 Olympics: Men's Short Program

[lileychristie]

So Ilia is saving the 4A for the long program?

108 and he doesn't look that impressed

 

[Skating91]

Haha 108 like I said. As if arranged in advance.

 

[Arriba627]

Monster score for Ilia! Wow. Raf teaching him, even in the K & C.

 

[Blades of Passion]

Ilia given higher PCS than Adam. What a joke.

 

[Warwick360]

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 don't know. His choreo was much better than in the past. And his arm variation on spins were beautiful. Much more than just stronger jump types.

I am so late. What did I miss? Who should I watch?

 

[EdgeCall]

Ilia's technical security is amazing but better PCS than Adam? Really?

 

[shan22044]

I dunno, without the jumps he kind of pales compared to the others. But the way he just threw that first quad in there in the middle of choreography. I do wonder what is possible with him technically.

I was going to write earlier during the season that maybe there can be two tracks to singles figure skating, like with rhythmic and artistic gymnastics. The artistry and technical are diverging so much!

 

[brblja]

Jumps were great, but if that deserved 9+ PCS, some previous skaters should've been 9.5+.

 

[momrk]

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

Me too!

[CoyoteChris]

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

The cold war ended?

 

[LeReveur]

Judges, Ilia was not MY highest PCS so far...

 

[FunsizedFlier]

Well, that was a good skate from him, I have to say.

I do cringe during the transition to the rap part and he tries to act hard.

PCS should not be that high but I know I'm preaching to the choir on that.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Yuma looks so calm!

I feel good about his chances here, best knees in the business.

 

[Arigato]

Ilia given higher PCS than Adam. What a joke.

And bad for the sport.

 

[Warwick360]

Yuma's costume looks so interesting and beautiful. 10/10 from me.

 

[Jammers]

Mission accomplished Ilia just needed to stay close. He will go all out in the FS.

 

[lelaya]

Ilia given higher PCS than Adam. What a joke.

Those PCS are really starting to ruin the games for me.

 

[Ichatdelune]

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

Yes, but that doesn't mean that the farce we call PCS scoring is done, far from it
