2026 Olys Team Event PBP Day 3 - When Your Bum Hits the Ice and Your Legs In the Sky - That's Errore!

[kirkbiggestfan]

Japan is fighting so hard. How in the hell did he recover from that 3T to get axels after that?

 

[BittyBug]

Well Miura and Kihara did their job. What a well-skated event.

 

[Sally1214]

Riku and Ryuchi ...

I actually screamed out loud when she landed that last throw. And the speed with which he gets her into position in that one-hand lift! MAGNIFICENT.

 

[peibeck]

M/K skate sooooo far apart on the sbs jumps, it's the weakest part of their programs. Otherwise a lot of fire and strength. I hate this music though.

 

[jadingirl]

Trent and Lia better gladiator music for sure
They sure had similar ending pose
I’ve seen gladiator but can’t say I understand if that pose is symbolizing something from the movie

 

[Hanna]

What a great event!

 

[slicekw]

Cautious start, but good ending for Miura/Kihara. Still felt like they were holding back, but that ending position is beastly for both.

Glad everyone skated clean/well. Great comp/section/segment/part (how to call this?)

[jlai]

I really think team Japan really deserves team gold considering how strong they are in 3 of the four disciplines.
Granted US is very strong too.

 

[BittyBug]

155 - wow!

[Karen-W]

Aw, nice to see Kao in the KnC with Team Japan!

LOL! Riku nearly fell of the bench she was so excited by that score - which is a bit much for a not quite clean program.

 

[Braulio]

155.55

MY GOD!

 

[zigzig]

OMG her falling in the K&C after getting her scores was so adorable! What a great event - so thrilled by the Americans and Japanese!

 

[CantALoop]

Riku so shook she literally fell over backwards!

 

[Spikefan]

Everyone’s reaction to that score.

I’m loving today so far.

 

[Aceon6]

Time to start the StuporBowl chili.

 

[Citlali]

Excellent pairs event

Japan team reactions have been glorious

 

[dupa]

OMG, OUTSTANDING for JPN

 

[ilovesalchows]

US needs to beat Japan in one of these next segments.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I really think team Japan really deserves team gold considering how strong they are in 3 of the four disciplines.
Granted US is very strong too.

Both teams are strong in three disciplines. It's partially a question of who is stronger in their weakest.

 

[susieB129]

The knots in my stomach are tightening. It's going to be such a battle from here!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I feel like that score was a little much for Miura and Kihara. They've skated better, so the PB is weird.

 

[Dobre]

155.55

MY GOD!

Honey, it's the Olympic games. The sky's the limit.

 

[beckab81]

Competitions like this are why I love pairs, when done well it's thrilling.

 

[SlavicaK]

Aw, nice to see Kao in the KnC with Team Japan!

LOL! Riku nearly fell of the bench she was so excited by that score - which is a bit much for a not quite clean program.

Can someone make Riku's slip off the bench into a gif?

 

[my little pony]

nicely timed cat food break

 

[CassAgain]

That was so exciting!! Who declared pairs dead?!? Way to go all 5 teams!

 

[skatingguy]

If Gutmann is ahead of Schizas, and Gubanova in the free skate Italy will clinch the Bronze medal.

 

[Jayar]

Does anyone know what is on Miura's back? I ask not because of aesthetics, but because I have back issues and wondering if she had a treatment that could help my old feeble back.
