2026 Olympics: Pairs' Short Program

[tulosai]

That should lead by A LOT. Wonderful to end the night like this!!

 

[elektra blue]

great! just great!

 

[discodisco]

Wow. Those are the best side by side spins of the day. Perfect unison, solid speed.

And as I speak, Minerva has a big stumble in the footwork sequence so they're going to lose GOE for that.

 

[Jeanie19]

Minerva/Nikita. Great outfits and a great tango. Great skate.

 

[LadyB]

Yep, I'll take that!

 

[16Olympics]

Wow. That was awesome. There is just something about Minerva's fluid glide across the ice in that red dress. She's just regal.

 

[snowflake]

They made it

 

[Seven Sisters]

The beginning of this comp—first two groups—was delightful.
Since then, it’s been less so. I especially don’t want to rewatch this last group

 

[auser]

Great skate from HASE Minerva Fabienne / VOLODIN Nikita. Love the energy and extension.

 

[LazyFuzai]

Ufff they were a bit unsynchronzied today + Minerva looked stressed as fxxk,but manage to save it.This spiral was close to be disaster.Anyway favorite program this season,but that wasnt peak

 

[FlyingFeather]

Finally, a good performance from one of the favorites. Except for that random stumble in the step sequence, but at least she didn't go down.

 

[yfan1]

I felt deeply underwhelmed, but okay.

 

[3T3T]

Well done Germany and H/V. They looked so assured and confident. For me the best by a long way.

 

[Demandred]

Yes! They did it!

A minor stumble by Minerva in the step sequence but everything else was really good, they should lead by several points.

"VPN Detected" issue is more of a Youtube thing (at least for me anyways), CBC Gem is less strict with their VPN detection (I hope I don't give them ideas here...).
I use paid ExpressVPN and many YT videos can detect it still, but no problem at all with CBC Gem.

All the big VPNs these days give free refund in certain timeframe, I've gotten full refund from Surfshark just by chatting to their online support. But try Privado free if you don't want to go through the trouble

I really hope this is not an issue for worlds & etc. Thanks will try Privado!

So... one good skate from the "planned top five"

I think both the Georgians and Japanese are overscored.

I am nervous for Lia and Trennt... what an exciting, yet terrifying experience to be in the final flight at the Olympics.

Germans should have a huge lead and I hope they do. They deserve it.

My prediction score . OUCH

 

[elektra blue]

I appreciate Nikita for not shaving his chest

et tu ruffledgrouse...

 

[Dreamer57]

Yay Miniki!! gorgeous routine!
They seemed hungry and sharp in their performance.

Louise and Simon on discovery+ just said thank you for showing us how it's done.

 

[Zora]

That was a very elegant tango! And some real choreography, great performance!

 

[LazyFuzai]

And why did she change this dress?? I knew something is off.Double black was much better
