2026 Olympics Team Event: Rhythm Dance

oh my ... that was not better than Piper & Paul

I disagree with that. Piper & Paul were ahead of them on my card. That said I liked the Brits program a bit more than before this time - she seemed to be selling more.

The IAM political riggory continues to kill ice dance.

That was fun posting the score from the tech box. Hopefully during the course of the games chilli’s will be in short supply and poison for missed elements won’t be needed.

Barring a disaster, that's your preview for ice dance podium...

Piper and Paul and Marco and Charlene were underscored, but are we surprised at all? Particular Piper and Paul I would have had them in 3rd place.

Yes Bock are overscored but at least they are ahead of the French team.

I’m devastated for P/P, it must be so hard to continue knowing you have basically lost the chance of an Olympic medal.

the difference was in the pattern steps.... at least before reviews got in... so things could improve for them... and of course GB will not skate the free dance... so it's not a "definitive" message that they cannot win their medal. I am trying to remain hopeful at 519am

Happy about the SB, just marginal above P&P!

Fear and Gibson. 3rd. Nice start for team event

Good for them, but this is as far as Team GB will get

 

[museksk8r]

So, the judging tells us that Piper and Paul should try to be sloppier and then maybe they can medal. Criminal!

U.S.A. is playing Canada now in round Robin in curling

How many times are the IAM coaches changing team uniforms during the team event? Someone should put a collage together. Gotta love ice dance politics

Good layering is crucial in winter

It’s the jacket dance - you must wear the jacket of the team skating

Totally agree.
For me Team France was overscored too, Gui's twizzles were far from superb today...

I still think Charlene and Marco can take the bronze, their FD is magic and I think their FD is going to be ahead of the Britts if they skate similar as Euros. It´s all about not having too big distance in the scores after the RD. Honestly the same should happen with Piper and Paul but i´m not having my hopes up as they are always chronically underscored. Charlene and Marco can get help from home boosting.

Still, after Euros FD I'm a little bit hopeful that not all mistakes go unpunished...

To be honest, I'm rather ok with the placements ( except for the Brits but I've just accepted that I don't see what the judges see) but I totally don't agree with the way the judges get to the placements.

 

[museksk8r]

Oh who are you listening to and how did you get the world feed?

I am watching the Peacock venue world feed. Belinda Noonan is providing commentary.

 

[IceDancingQueen]

Well I am very disappointed in the craziness of Olympic judging but as others have said, should we be surprised?!

 

[4everchan]

silver lining... Piper and Paul did earn higher PCS than Lilah and Lewis.

I think Piper and Paul will get an individual medal
