2026 Olympics: Pairs' Free Skate

[museksk8r]

That was really solid. A little slow but clean. I hope they get bronze.

I would not be mad if that were to happen; however, judges always score P/S low in PCS.

Their FS is SOOO much better/more elegant than last season.

Skating like this after the japanese isn't an easy thing to do I guess

And the Chinese.

 

[Chantilly]

Rightly in second

 

[museksk8r]

P/S, 2nd 141.39/215.26.

Woah, Maria and Alexei are bringing it tonight as well

Still I think they shouldn't put the pair combo skate as their last element, it's their weakest element and you don't want to finish a program with your weakest element....

Lia & Trennt

They're thrilled!

15 pts behind Japan?

To be fair, that is true for a lot of skaters/teams. Isabeau Levito is apparently extremely sassy, funny, and chaotic off-ice (she has been known to say some deeply inappropriate things that cannot be repeated here), but her programs are always lovely, elegant, and balletic. Likewise, Misha Shaidorov skates as a giant panda in his exhibitions but always does these serious, dramatic programs in competition.

Might I add the example of my beloved Yelim, her skating was always of the elegant, composed type yet her nickname was General Yelim

 

[EdgeCall]

Significant increase of their PB, right at the olympics!

 

[CellarDweller]

Wonderful skate for them, they were so happy!

 

[Demandred]

Great skate by the Hungarians, well deserved second place for them.

 

[LazyFuzai]

Wow 17 points less its a joke

Eh, I think people get two different things mixed up. When a skater is on the ice, they are showing what they like to perform to, not trying to show every aspect of their lives. That would be unreasonable! No one expects us to know what they like for breakfast by watching their skating. We all know a quiet person who listens to scream-o rock or an extrovert who goes to Chopin concerts. Isabeau has been clear that she enjoys the style she does on the ice. That has nothing to do with how sassy her personality is. Her liking Audrey Hepburn is as much a part of her personality as her impulsive mouth. I think the original poster is saying the M/K seem to be skating to music their coaches resonate with rather than something they really seem to enjoy.

Overgladiatored today...

 

[lariko]

Clean and confident, clean and confident...

 

[16Olympics]

Come on Canada.....

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Ah yes, the classic pairs combo of a lady dressed to the nines and a man in a bejeweled black tshirt. Crew neck, at that, giving nothing

 

[lariko]

Oh, no...
