2026 Olympics: Women's Free Skate

[chepe]

Okay, not the biggest fan of the program, but unless UR's hit hard (some of her jumps looked bit tight), Chiba should go into lead.

 

[Dawn825]

Such a pretty dress. I wonder how the stiffness for most of the program will factor.

 

[Jeanie19]

Mone. Gorgeous blue dress. Lovely program and skate.

 

[YuBluByMe]

YES!!! Well done Chiba! I started to relax once she hit the 3S.

 

[Janice4th]

That should go in first.

 

[auser]

Mone's skating is so pretty to watch.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Mone has small jumps but great knees and lovely skating skills. Very pretty skater. She had enough SP lead that this will likely go ahead of Amber.

 

[readernick]

Mone's a great skater. Very tight today. Technical panel has been kind about URs today. That might help her.

 

[Dawn825]

Why wasn't Adelia with her main coach for scores?

 

[LazyFuzai]

Finally she manage to skate clean.It wasn't technically Mone that shine the brightest,but stsq and choreo sequence impressive today.Interesting start of the medal battle

 

[Rikku]

Provisional TES 74.46
Down approx 3 points

 

[elektra blue]

i hope they give Mone a better packaging next season

 

[cocteautwin]

TES will drop a bit but they can't hurt her components too much

 

[gmyers]

Wow petrosian pcs was horrifically awful! Nothing could be done with that level pcs

 

[Placebo11]

Mone should take the lead now, thank God.
Sorry, but Amber's skating does nothing for me although I appreciate her technical skills.

 

[Ares]

A few landings here or there looked slightly short to me from Chiba to me today but it should finally be enough to beat Amber. Even moreso with a larger lead after the SP of Mone and the fact that she should get high components.

 

[museksk8r]

Wow, on replay several of these jumps could/should be called for Mone.

 

[lileychristie]

Mone looked nervous in the first half and many jumps are tight, but considering how her nerves had messed her up in the past, I still call this a win

She has quite a lead from Amber, will that be enough to take the lead overall?

 

[lariko]

Why wasn't Adelia with her main coach for scores?

To maintain neutrality status.

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

Johnny and Tara said at least three times that various jumps were under-rotated. Let's see what happens.

These Olympics UR jumps are called Q except on extremely few favourites who don't get them called at all?
