2026 Olympics: Pairs' Free Skate

[EdgeCall]

That was good but not enough for RR. They fought very well though.

 

[FlossieH]

Metelkina and Beraluva will go ahead because they always given higher PCS, but I thought the Hungarians were better.

 

[Zora]

Does Gladiator at this point qualify as a warhorse?

But no one skates to the exciting parts anymore.

 

[Chantilly]

This Georgian dude's footwork is killing me.

It's freaking terrifying which is why Bezic brings it up over and over again. As a former pairs skater and choreographer and a woman, she's terrified about her safety.

The ugliest death spiral of all time LMAO.

Is it though? Just today I've seen worse!

Metelkina and Beraluva will go ahead because they always given higher PCS, but I thought the Hungarians were better.

Agreed. I was just going to type this.

M/B - his scary lift footwork continues and judges should mark them down in GOE for that; she steps out of throw 3loop. Shoot, I feel judges are going to over score M/B and P/S are going to get the short end of the stick here and that’s not right.

Truth.

 

[Sabsi]

They really achieved a lot this season!

 

[skatedreamer]

Because of Berulava's reputation, I was having a hard time rooting for the Georgians but that last lift was SPECTACULAR.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I'd still have the Japanese in front, but we'll see

 

[flanker]

Well done. One step-out but otherwise no problem (one really little stumble during lift but he saved it that hardly anyone noticed).

 

[luvsasha]

This Georgian dude's footwork is killing me.

Same! I didn't know what people were talking about before, so I focused on it and once you see it you can't un-see it. It's kind of scary!

 

[YuBluByMe]

That phone call in the middle takes me out every single time. As usual, scary lifts and a death spiral that looks like it was beat with an ugly stick.

 

[Dreamer57]

Louise is teaching Simon about his footwork in the lifts being unsafe and clumsy.
Robin is saying something similar but that it looks better today than yesterday

 

[Arriba627]

It's freaking terrifying which is why Bezic brings it up

I have no commentary, but I can only imagine what Safety First Bezic is saying.

 

[LazyFuzai]

It was really really good,even this missed throw.It was huge.

I just dont udnerstand what is going on with spirals today.Everyone of them sxxks.

Their really manage to work on their position with throws,but on the other hand his footwork on lifts are scary to watch everytime.

That throw may cost medal,but doubt it.

 

[Demandred]

The Georgians held their nerves, very impressive jumps, but that death spiral is hideous and the lifts are overscored.

 

[flanker]

The Japanese victory was decided even without the step-out of course.

 

[lileychristie]

CBC commentators not mincing words: "It's only an artistic choice if you can master the actual move"

Didn't expect them to mess up a throw both in the short and free, I would even put this behind the Hungarians....
