2026 Olys Team Event PBP Day 1 - There Is An I(AM) in Team

[Lizziebeth]

Can someone please kick the cameramen? We don't need to see her makeup but it would be nice to see their legs at least from time to time!

even the replays include closeups

Moved up to L3

Looks like we're in for some forgiving, loose calling for the Olys.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

The very big hairbows for team Korea are fun.

Yeah, after all the super tight calling all year, I definitely had a feeling it would magically become loose calling for the olys. I bet we see the same on rotations.

 

[ilovesalchows]

OMG this next group. Chills!

 

[Karen-W]

New dress alert for Madi!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

All of the costumes that I previously hated have been kept the whole season. And Maddie changed her costume to something that feels less authentically 90s than the original.

Of course.

 

[MacMadame]

I wish FBCiz had new costumes for the Olympics. I can't get over how much her bottom looks like gills and how plain his is.

 

[Karen-W]

Evan also has a new costume - which definitely feels more '90s than his previous one. Haven't got a really good look at Madi's dress in action yet.

GuigFab still have the ugliest costumes of this group - and that's saying a lot because GilPoir's costumes are pretty atrocious.

Also could someone take out the overhead camera with a drone or something? I bet they wouldn't be able to replace it with this schedule!

 

[ilovesalchows]

Evan looks waxy and tired.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Made a break for caffeine and snacks during the warmup.

Currently trying to decide if I can pull off making an omelet during the ice make

 

[tony]

No one has commented within 15 seconds that Eteri clearly hacked the tech box because of the delay in it displaying? I'm shocked.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Chocks’ dress looks like python skin. Well suited to Kravitz.

 

[ilovesalchows]

someone forgot to put batteries in the boom box again. This tempo is a crime in the middle part.

 

[Hanna]

Can't believe I'm saying this but D/S also have a good RD and that's saying something amidst all the wrecks this season.

Funny how this is the 3rd time I said this by now in this comp, but truly this team event got lucky with several of the better RDs.

 

[TAHbKA]

Smolkin is too good for that music, that programme and that partner.


That said - have their changed their middle musical part?

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Can’t stand how much they slow down Come Out and Play music. It’s distracting.

 

[skatingguy]

Diana Davis/Gleb Smolkin
Coach: M.F. Dubreuil, R. Haguenauer, P. Lauzon
Music: Pretty Fly, Come Out and Play

Midline Step Sequence W:2 M:2
Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:4
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 2
Rotational Lift 4
Choreographic Rhythm Sequence

I'm still not sure they've got the character of this program right when compared to the music, but they skated well, and continue to show improvements across the season.

78.97 = 2nd Place

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Due to the fact that this RD is one of the few that is enjoyable and actually feels 90s, I've decided to like Davis and Smolkin

 

[tony]

love love love them

 

[Karen-W]

DavSmo still have one of the best RDs of the season, though today felt a bit flat.

Welcome to the club.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Belinda is talking about Diana's hearing impairment. I think that might be the first time I've heard that mentioned by commentators.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Welcome to the club.

I didn't decide it just now.

 

[Finnice]

I agree. No Ricky Martin yet.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Ahhh why didn’t anyone do a Skee-lo RD?

 

[skipaway]

Chocks’ dress looks like python skin. Well suited to Kravitz.

I see a muted red white and blue American flag with stars on her butt.

 

[MacMadame]

I didn't decide it just now.

Belated welcome then. I've liked this team since I first saw them. And for a while, I felt very lonely.
