2026 Olys Team Event PBP Day 2 - Will It Be YAYmoz? Or GO!GO!lev?

[miffy]

Anyone catch what Madi said to Ilia?

Something about having done her part and to stop being such a wuss and put his name down for the free?

 

[victorskid]

A replay of Yuma (and C&B) before the event sign-off. Got to see Kaori screaming

 

[MsZem]

This cycle was definitely the lost generation for ice dance.

JUSTICE FOR LOPAREVA!!!

 

[just tuned in]

Scott Hamilton is jinxing ChoBat for the indiv event.

Basically. His response was (fake laugh) “ok boomer”.

 

[Miezekatze]

Lol, what did she say about ChoBat?

She found them slow and their skating small.

Probably it’s true, but I still enjoyed that FD the most so far this season today.

Generally I do think the skirt makes sense with Evan being the bull and the skirt being the cape. I think the storytelling has improved over the course of the season.

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

Coronation incoming?

JUSTICE FOR LOPAREVA!!!

And L/L. They should be Canadian #1.

They rock. I love them anyway but seeing that fabulous Björk program live in Sheffield was chef's kiss.

I don't think any power on earth could keep Ilia from doing the free now. He's got something to prove.

Running for the metro but Chock and Bates were superb. Fast, in control, dynamic, in unison, skate close together and intuitively know where each other is. Beautiful shapes and highlight elements. Didn’t see any issues. They have a shot at winning the free dance in the individual if they skate like this.

I know you were there live, but unless they have massively improved since nationals, I don't see how they could have been fast like you are saying.

This program still feels like a men's program, doing nothing at the ends of the rink so they can go down the center.

I still don’t see the C/B hype…… V/M and P/C spoiled me

 

[miffy]

TNT interviewing Mark Hanretty in the studio and he's saying that the ice dance world is very bitchy and dog eat dog

 

[Karen-W]

Just a reminder, feds are now in the meeting to confirm their line-ups for tomorrow.

 

[my little pony]

will the venue feed just keep going or do I need a new tile?

 

[ilovesalchows]

US can only give up 4 points to Japan tomorrow as they probably won’t win the tie break.

I didn’t like Lopareva & brissaud at the beginning and just when I had started getting into them they started dropping.

In other news, water is wet.

When do we find out?

 

[Private Citizen]

She found them slow and their skating small.

Probably it’s true, but I still enjoyed that FD the most so far this season today.

Is she in the arena or commentating remotely? C&B were objectively the fastest — by a lot. Obviously even to a casual observer. The program slowed a tiny bit at the end if that’s when she made her comment?

What is the tie break?

 

[tony]

will the venue feed just keep going or do I need a new tile?

For what exactly

 

[Karen-W]

When do we find out?

As soon as the websites are updated with the start orders, lol. I'd guess within the next 15-20 minutes.

 

[my little pony]

For what exactly

im not sure, im really disoriented already

I don’t know from where she’s commentating.

 

[chewy]

I like that Zachary tucked his shirt in.

That was absolutely exquisite from Chock/Bates. Sophisticated, precise, enthralling, and perfectly expressive of the music.

I wasn't that enthused by the music or thematic choice at the beginning of the season, but they have created a stunner.

 

[ilovesalchows]

What is the tie break?

Tie-breaking within team standings:

1. The highest total team points from the two best places in different disciplines of the current phase will break the ties.
2. If they remain tied, the highest total segment scores of the two best places according to the team points in different disciplines of the current phase will break the ties.
3. If they remain tied, the highest total team points from the three best places in different disciplines of the current phase will break the ties.
4. If they remain tied, the highest total segment scores of the three best places according to the team points in different disciplines of the current phase will break the ties.

If these criteria fail to break the ties, the teams will be considered as tied.

I know you were there live, but unless they have massively improved since nationals, I don't see how they could have been fast like you are saying.

Different set of teams?

In terms of speed, I’d say C&B a clear first followed by Davis and Smolkin. Then Guignard and Fabbri during the open sections of their program (but not when in any hold or in or out of most elements). Then L&L who do skate quite small in this program.

She said they were very clearly the best, but she really didn't like the performance on the night.

She’s in the arena and a former ice dancer. Simon was talking about how they are closer to the ice than they normally are at an Olympics.
