2026 World Figure Skating Championships | Women's Short Program

[bartlebooth]

Hello everybody, I'm very busy today, I'm afraid I won't be able to watch much live. I count on your comments and play-by-plays!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I unfortunately can only watch the livescoring site today I just read on X that many people at the arena won't get inside on time for the first group the more I read about the organisation of this whole event, the more I'm glad that I stayed at home

I'm still gutted that I'm not there. And seeing the montage of shots of the city is making it even worse. Seeing places brings back so many memories.

But, that is a disgrace. I would be absolutely raging to miss anybody! There are quite a few skaters I would specifically want to see in this opening group. And, of course, my baby girl is early on in the second group.

My friends keep posting photos and it looks like not much is moving. I'm really sad for everyone who won't be inside on time.

 

[FlossieH]

I still don't like the tunnel walk on.

 

[flanker]

It is starting.

 

[EdgeCall]

I am afraid it will be a rather short appearance by the home heroine. Would it be appropiate to grant one additional slot to the hosting country?

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

It is starting.

Oh. Are you not there?

Well, we're happy to have you with us!

and i hope a last group skate too

Oh, for goodness sake, Mark. Going to the Olympics doesn't "make you a different human being". It just means you have competed at another event!

Less than 5 minutes into the event, and Mark is already going on and on about the Olympics.

It's going to be a long week!

[elektra blue]

not the skate she wanted

 

[Sabsi]

What a beautiful program to start the event... sadly the axel went all wrong

 

[EdgeCall]

Beautifully styled run with a very costly pop. But she sold herself decently.

 

[FlossieH]

Nice skate from Vrankova. Shame about the axel - that will probably take her out of the free.
