2026 Olympics Team Event: Women's Short Program

[ruffledgrouse]

The jump map's new. I'll reserve judgement- it's a little distracting, but not obscuring anything

 

[nickp91]

It's the first time I'm seeing a heat map live in figure skating

 

[EdgeCall]

Oy, jump map?!

 

[auser]

Interesting that we can get jump maps but not levels on tech score box.

[Sabsi]

we have a map but not detailed score box, ah Italy

I can't ... why???

 

[cocteautwin]

Well done, Ruiyang!
What is this jump tracking feature? Looks like a sperm cell

 

[Jeanie19]

Ruiyang. Nice black bodysuit. Good program and skate.

This arbitrary rendition of Frozen is too mismatched and randomly cut for my taste but good skate from Zhang.

It's not easy being green...

...but it was for ZHANG Ruiyang (CHN)!

Great start to the competition.

Hi everyone (and @Minz, thank you for doing PBPs)! Jackie Wong is experimenting with live scoring right now on his website, which will be updated with the elements and their levels in close to real time. It's occasionally glitchy but it's been super useful so far, especially because they killed the TES box
live.rockerskating.com/competition

also, OMEGA is experimenting with using AI/cameras for judging, so the things like the jump/program map and the jump height info you see (at least on the World Feed) are coming from them. I'm super excited to see this info coming into skating, because it really helps you appreciate speed and ice coverage.

Oh thank you so much this is a life saver!

Kristen had a really serious back injury after Worlds last year, she pushed through to qualify her spot in the individual event and skated so well at that event, but she had to have surgery to repair a disc issue and still has some nerve pain and damage. Belinda said on the World feed that she can't feel the bottom of her leg as a result. She doesn't have all of her triples back yet, but she is so excited to be here and she is skating so well especially considering the circumstances she is dealing with.
