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

[Wyliefan]

Could really do without random ads breaking in while the commentator is actually making a good point.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

So WTF is this jump map supposed tho show us? What happened to the jump stats that are actually useful that we had with pairs??

Theoretically it can show composition, ice coverage, and amount of multidirectional skating.

Theoretically it can show composition, ice coverage, and amount of multidirectional skating.

Only if they show the entire program and not little pieces.

 

[miffy]

Good for her on the 3f! She popped it over and over on warmup.

Oh no, just a single axel

Apparently that was planned, she’s lost the double completely due to the injury

 

[Citlali]

Did the GB team wash their gear with a red shirt?

1axel for Kristen

Nope. It's deliberately pale pink.

 

[Amy L]

It's the Olympics! He can go away.

He doesn't agree. We have a decent sized tv in the living room but mom will ask about 8000000 questions then want to watch the news or her Hallmark movies. These people do not have the correct priorities

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I would like this dress so much if it were solidly either of the two reds.

Ladies, take note, a dark smudge on your butt crack is not flattering.

 

[tony]

SOS her rotations, but this is my favorite program she's done in a long time. She's really leaned into the WTF is this with Amodio more often than not

This is why I live alone.

Can it not show us that as a single image after the program ends?

Ekaterina Kurakova
Coach: F. Amodio, D. Ignatenko
Music: N’insiste pas by Camille Lellouche

3T+3T<
2A
Change Foot Combo Spin 3
3Loq
Flying Camel Spin 3
Step Sequence 4
Layback Spin 3

Reviews pending for the triple jumps, but the performance was the quality we have come to expect from Ekaterina.

57.76 = 2nd Place

 

[Theatregirl1122]

TES behind Zhang

 

[Wyliefan]

Yay Katya!

Boo audio issues!

 

[tony]

Can it not show us that as a single image after the program ends?

Exactly this. It's not a jump map. It's an entire program map. WTF does showing a line trailing for the last 5 seconds say about anything?

 

[Karen-W]

That was quite lovely from Katia. I'd put her ahead of Zhang just on the quality of her skating & performance.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Can it not show us that as a single image after the program ends?

That’s what I would advocate for. Show it during the replay along with the rotational and jump graphical data.

 

[Lizziebeth]

It looks like a tadpole swimming in a pond

 

[beckab81]

Rotations shmotations, I love Kurakova. She was noticably faster than the first 2 skaters and had lovely choreo (I didn't see tons of crossovers), and I like that she did something different for her.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Kurakova's program about domestic violence
1 second after she's done skating: peppy joy

quite the contrast

 

[susieB129]

I haven't enjoyed a Kurakova program that much in ages, technical issues be damned.

 

[Karen-W]

Boo to the judges for putting that behind Zhang!

 

[MsZem]

Florent Amodio looks really nice in that Polish kit.

 

[Coco]

Jump map would be brilliant if it showed the entire program with little marks showing the location of the jumps.

And just display it at the end. We don't need to watch the progress.

Loving the height and speed data.

ETA: hate to say it, but they jump map as it is looks like 1 sperm in a box.

 

[beckab81]

I would have given higher components for Kurakova

 

[tony]

two footed on 3F I think but compared to 4CC and the early GP this is a revelation skate for her.

 

[honey]

No review on Shin’s flip is weird. Looked much worse than her combo which is under review.

 

[skatingguy]

Jia Shin
Coach: H.J. Chi, J. Kim

3Lz+3T
2A
Flying Camel Spin 4
3F

The Koreans can't make the free skate of the Team Event, but Shin doing her best to play spoiler for one of the other teams.

68.80 = 1st Place

 

[thvu]

I'm going to take credit for manifesting Shin skating clean.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Ugh, Carol Lane's commentary is useless.
