2026 World Figure Skating Championships | Pairs' Free Skate

Wow Canada is going home with a surprise medal in pairs! Honestly I have always liked Lia and Trennt. I do not find they are overly technically unique or superior or charismatic but they got the job done. Like Deanna and Max have the age story, the grit and some real fight, the Japanese olympic champs are not the level of Shen and Zhou or G and G but had some chemistry likewsie duhamel and radford had grit and tech difficulty. Trennt and Lia are pretty perfunctory but pretty good perfunctory (Us and canadian pairs are kind of like that right now well actually all of these teams are pretty good but not overly special for lack of words so good on Canada
Wow, you just cannot give Canada a break, can you? It's getting tiresome!
 
The first half of the M/B program is so impressive. The twist and the jumps are world class. But then those elements get rocky. The fall, a weak death spiral, meh spins, etc.
I thnk that might be enough to beat Canada though. Still so proud of the Canadians. They didnt crumble this this time.
 
Anastasiia METELKINA / Luka BERULAVA (GEO) skating to instrumental music. Which turned into "Keeping Me Alive" by Jonathan Roy in the second half.

Nastya is wearing a blue (?) coloured dress. Luka wearing a matching shirt, with black trousers.

Such a pity about that fall, because the rest of it was so good.

Nastya has a lie down on the ice after they finished. That really took it out of her.

They're being kept waiting a very long time. That's never a good sign.

Extra waves from the guys to ease the nerves.

They go into 3rd position in the FS, and the lead overall.

No reaction at all.

The door has been left open. Can Hase/Volodin walk through it? They need to go pretty much clean.

Even I could see that death spiral was weak. Dude :oops: Surely they can do a better one? Any way, I liked the program otherwise.
 
Really Luka does not look happy either.
I guess they thought they had this in the bag? I mean, I thought they would do well, and podium, but I didn’t consider them a clear favorite or anything like that
