2026 Olympics: Pairs' Short Program

[Skatingcat]

Congratulations Deanna. You made it to the Olympics! I hope you are super proud of yourself. I thought your skate was lovely.

Heartbreaking

 

[Ichatdelune]

Me too. It says “vpn detected” when I try to access the Olympic streams. Surfshark and some other VPN same issue.

Well-known VPNs have that issue, you have find an obscure server one way or another

So happy Deanna and Max are getting their Olympic moments. Too bad about the fall but quick recovery. I love them.

NO HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!?!???

I think they were a bit too close to the boards and as she dismounted her heel caught his blade

 

[skylark]

These two are incredibly beautiful skaters and the program as a program is a cut above what we've seen so far-- some beautiful choreographic flourishes and real emotion in the skate. The small mistakes will probably cost them but overall for me they were the most enjoyable so far to watch.

Not for me. I find Deanna's facial expressions way Over The Top.

But I'm still ecstatic for my favorite Canadian team: Lia and Trennt!

Don't know why but Ellie look like the daughter of Danny because they appear to have a significant age difference. Danny could be her dad ...

I mean if he fathered her when he was 14….i guess?

She clipped his blade...

My stream is being really choppy. I didn’t exactly see how her fall happened.

I think it was a combo of being too close to the boards, and her skate might have clipped Max's skate.

I got such a shock when she fell. Glad there was no backflip. I’m happy that they are here competing.

I don’t really like her costume. That fall looked nasty.

10th with 4 to go.

I'm crying. Guys you're here! You're on Oly ice. Throw landing right on the beat. Yes!!! Shame about the fall, but still so much to like about this skate!

My stream is being really choppy. I didn’t exactly see how her fall happened.

I say timing error, slightly out of synch
Completely understandable

 

[museksk8r]

It looks like their blades clipped on the landing of the lift and she was really close to the boards. Aww, the anguish on Deanna’s face! . It’s a victory just to be here, team!

 

[discodisco]

Shoot. I'm not sure the fall was far enough after the lift... I wonder if it will impact the score of the lift as well. Out. 66, 10th Place looks like they lost marks for the lift, six points or so.

Barbara FP stare at the end...

Having seen the replay I don't think it was his fault actually. Freak thing. Lack of recent practice couldn’t have helped.

 

[momrk]

who would have really thought that both US pairs would be in the top ten after the short????

 

[elektra blue]

Where else could you find a song about a swan lamenting that it's being roasted?

aboout drinking because luch is a b*tch

 

[museksk8r]

66.04, S-D/D into 10th.

Wish I could work out how to do this.

If you don't have a VPN already, try Privado free VPN and set it to Canada. Then create CBC Gem account, it's free and easy, you just need any random Canadian postcode. You can use what I used: M5W1E6 (which is funnily enough, where CBC headquarter is in Toronto )
