2026 Olympics: Pairs' Free Skate

[flanker]

Too many mistakes by Conti/Macii. They did not give up but no chance for a medal today.

 

[tulosai]

pairs should have had a longer break

Yes I'm wondering if that is part of the problem tonight too!!

 

[SnowWhite]

I don't even know eho validate schedules. I don't see why one day break wouldn't suit TV channels?

It's also about the short track schedules, since they share the venue

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

The disgusting +2Axel+2Axel sequence strikes again. One of the reasons why this is the worst quadrennial ever for pairs skating.

Wait until Gyorgy Kunitsa and Alyona Kostornaya come back to shape with 3Ltz + 3Lo and the like. But probably never the best lifts & twists.

 

[ramurphy2005]

not the skate they wanted, i guess the team event drained all their energies

Who knows how much her knee is bothering her, too.

 

[LazyFuzai]

There is no reason to be that happy Sara

 

[Arriba627]

No need to hang your heads Sara and Nic. You did your best. A soulful performance in spite of the errors. Darn, wanted them.on the podium for their home Olys.

 

[TallyT]

I'm up (the time difference), how's it going? Peace after the storm?

 

[elektra blue]

Who knows how much her knee is bothering her, too.

probably a lot, also the lack of support from a certain someone next to her

 

[CoyoteChris]

My peacock is wonky!

C/M 1st 131.49/203.19.

 

[Ichatdelune]

With broadcasters' time slot requests and both short track and figure skating using the same rink has got to lead to tremendously difficult scheduling, that I understand, but still the schedule we got is bad and people should really reconsider for 2030

Sara CONTI / Niccolo MACII (ITA) skating to "Caruso".

How to tell everybody you're Italian without telling them you're Italian.

I know we give Lara Fabian a hard time, but that is because the skaters / choreographers tend to pick the same 2 or 3 songs of her's, and they happen to be not great songs. She is much better with this song.

Not perfect, but I enjoyed that.

They go into the lead of both the FS and overall.

[lileychristie]

Is anyone else CBC stream a bit choppy today?

Unfortunately SaraNicco's throw jump landings were about as choppy as that

 

[NanaPat]

All the more reasons to do the TE after the individual events, like there probably is a correlation to Miniki not doing the TE and Miniki winning the SP

And how do you explain Pireira/Michaud?

 

[Zora]

Wasn't it for years and years, short program and then the next day free program? Before compulsory dances were eliminated?

 

[momrk]

C'mon Ellie and Danny - close out a good Olympics for yourselves.

 

[CellarDweller]

fingers crossed!

 

[EdgeCall]

Oh dear.

It's not Ellie's day.
