2026 Olympics: Pairs' Free Skate

And one final thing. With regards the Pairs competitions being on consecutive days, @Diana Delafield gave us the viewpoint of a Pairs skater in the Pre-Chat thread before the Olympics started:

Post in thread '2026 Olympics: General Info and Pregame Chat'

Jan 27, 2026

I am puzzled why the only discipline in FS that does not have even one day between SP and FP is Pairs?? Men, for example, got even with 2 days between SP and FP!! Women and ID one day! Pairs- and Pairs need rest no less than other disciplines- are... or forgot, or simply no one ever brought it up as an issue And it is not not only at Olympics. In most of the competitions it is the same pattern. However, if the skaters and coaches are ok with this, why I have to bother myself to think about it

Logically, it would be better to have a break, of course. But not complaining and...

Not the skate I desired from Sui/Han. Her SBS triples were absent for instance just to name one issue. But even when Wenjing was at her physical peak ... solo jumps wer difficult for her. They deserve high components and Pair elements were mostly very good. They'll be first but that shouldn't be enough for another Olympic medal for them.

Thx for the memories guys! Great skate considering their physical condition. Beautiful throws!

She'll always be empress Wenjing, first of her name

M/K had a rough practice prior to the event. They will need to overcome those errors here.
