2026 Olympics: Women's Short Program

[EdgeCall]

Amber's 3F+3T was her best I've seen in some time and the 3A was great. But she didn't keep believing in herself. I hope we get Queen Amber some day.

I hope she doesn't retire. How many more of these blows can she take?

 

[Paulipau]

Right, at this point, they have to think what do we have to lose?

She is not able to put a combo on that, she doesn't have enough control on the landing. She would have to make it flatter and longer to be able to put a combo, its not possible to put combo out of nowhere.

 

[LeReveur]

Nakai is gonna be on top and yet she's #3 in PCS on the night in her own country, in my opinion...
Make of that what you will for how the scoring currently works...

 

[moonvine]

Amber…you will always be OGM. And I will always love you.

 

[yume]

That girl is the complete package.

 

[brblja]

The view of the combo in replay cut off at mid-shin.

 

[LazyFuzai]

Would you like to be my phychologyst?

Nah,sorry

 

[Arigato]

All these years and Terry Gannon still says Yooozarooooo Hawnyoooooo, like kangaroo, on the air.

Exactly. Nothing to lose, so I'd quickly revamp the FS and get another 3A+2T in there. Ice is slippery for everyone, maybe she can Shun Sato her way to the podium.

 

[Artemisa]

I'm not saying anything .. but Adelia is 5th

 

[4everchan]

For those with the superstition... Adeliia is fifth..

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

a q on Mone's combo and an edge warning on her lutz dropped her score somewhat, she lost around 3 points in GOE because of those calls, but it is very in line with what the tech panel has done today for everyone (save for one skater, but I will not discuss that). There were sooooo many q's called tonight, y'all, clearly the tech panel got a wholesale discount at the quarter rotation warehouse

 

[lileychristie]

Wow, I think that was the most relaxed I've seen Mone in a big competition!!
I wonder if she got help from a sports psychologist? Whatever they're doing it's working, keep doing it for her free program please!

When she landed all her jumps this program works so well

 

[Blades of Passion]

Mone Chiba's 3Toe was NOT a 'q'. So tired of panels who can't measure basic angles of a takeoff and landing. Thank goodness she still deservedly placed 4th.

Thursday. There is a day to stew.

 

[EdgeCall]

The top five ladies within 6 points. We are in for a battle of nerves like never before.

 

[maofan]

Maddie missed the Q by .21, just cruel!
