2026 Olympics Team Event: Pairs' Short Program

[Jeanie19]

Anastasia/Luke. I love their outfits and this program. Fall on the throw, but still a good skate.

 

[yelyoh]

Ellie looks so uptight. I'm nervous.

 

[readernick]

Love their costumes. Their lift was very nice. The rest was a bit off.

 

[cocteautwin]

I like the green costumes from Ana and Luka (as a green stan), not their best performance but not the worst as well.

Enjoyed Anastasis & Luke. I still like Lighthouse! That throw was so high! Hard to control.

[ruffledgrouse]

Why are all the short programs so dour this year? I thought the SP were the upbeat ones

 

[museksk8r]

Dang it! Are there no other throws they could try, like a toe or Salchow?

 

[Ziotic]

That 3S was UR is real time. How did it get positive GOE

 

[Ichatdelune]

... Yup not a good day it is today

 

[16Olympics]

Ugh.....

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Oh god they are going to drop behind the Chinese as well aren´t they? What a messy event so far...

 

[elektra blue]

not the skate they wanted

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Hopefully the Ice Monster will eat it's fill in the team event so we can have a clean main

I really love this program, and this team has so many qualities in their skating skills and transitions; this program has more content in it than most others. There were a few nervy moments, like with the Canadians and Brits in this group, but they did really well on the SBS jumps. They lost a few points on the SBS spins and twist, and the throws continue to be a problem, but otherwise, that was a clutch performance for Ellie and Danny.
