2026 Olympics: Pairs' Short Program

[lariko]

That's some genuine happiness

 

[moonvine]

Yes ma’am that means you qualify.

 

[elektra blue]

say you land things

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Made it by a point!

I got a real shock last week when I found out Ioulia is now 31. I thought she was still early to mid twenties.

Yes, she has been around a long time, but she must still have come onto the international scene a lot later than we are used to.

I am so glad this partnership is working out so well for her. She deserves it.

Oh, I love them!

Love this programme to Florence.

Awwww, they are delighted with the scores. Especially Ioulia.

They go into 4th position.

Sandra Bezic, a former pair skater for Canada. She's a choreographer now

Bezic's choreography is great. One of her very best is Boitano's short program from Calgary -- old, but still absolutely stellar IMO.

Beautiful dress!

 

[freedomlover]

very happy for lia and trennt!!!!

 

[Sabsi]

Lia & Trennt that was so beautiful.
I have a feeling the experience of competing in the team event first really helped them.
This should go into first...

Twist on the music

Ooh a cat-like landing... and another!

JLB does so much good work with them, may their collaboration last long and be fruitful

That was fantastic from Lia and Trennt! I really love this program, and every element was so well done tonight. They got great levels and great GOE as well; this should be a huge score!!!!!

Lia and Trennt

The choreography in this program is so great. Hope the jumps go well. Here we go.

Twist- wow! Super high. Didn't catch whether it was level three or four.

3toe - Trent a little wild, but great unison, and totally clean.

Thr3loop - wow! Without question the highest throw I have ever seen them do!

Trent looking really solid on the lift as well.

Spins - really good first half, second half a little bit off Unison but very fast overall.

Yes! Three for three!

 

[moonvine]

Everyone is really bunched up….

Hey everyone, in case you didn’t know it, all teams are so evenly matched in pairs that any mistake on the elements will be costly. Johnny Weir wants the American audience to know this, because he has told us multiple times.

 

[auser]

Lovely skate from Lia and Trennt.

 

[lariko]

Someone had a throw over a meter high. Numbers give a whole new appreciation for a pair woman to land them, since the highest self powered jumps by men are slightly over 0.7 m.

 

[museksk8r]

Very solid from P/M! They should go into 1st, but I can see the judges docking them in PCS enough to go behind S/H into 2nd.

probably cause they know how to secure the copyrights properly
