2026 Olys Rhythm Dance PBP - Livin' La GOE Loca

[Bunny Hop]

Chock/Bates - Putting my Tony hat on to complain about the speed and ice coverage of their twizzles. They really are extraordinarily poor in that regard for a team of this level. Working the turns and hold well in Pattern-type steps. Everything very, very good (twizzle speed aside).

 

[my little pony]

this IAM life coach seems to have been promoted this season or was she always in the K & C

 

[fsfann]

Super slow twizzles....

 

[Private Citizen]

Chock and Bates - a performance that’s not going to change anyone’s minds either way, lol. A little slower and not as good as the team event. Deserves to lead by a point-ish IMO

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Are they going to be nearly tied on PCS

 

[beckab81]

Pattern step 3 is going to put them behind FB/C

 

[MacMadame]

I like her positions in the RotLi. They have L4 in the Pattern Dance but it's under review.

Went down L3

 

[Karen-W]

That was good from ChoBat but this judges panel wasn't giving them the same GOE love that the TE panel did. This is going to be extremely close and I have a feeling I'm going to be sick when it's all said and done today.

Carol doesn't think C&B's program is 90s enough. Well Carol, this GenXer thinks that almost none of the programs are 90s in any meaningful way.

 

[Sally1214]

Oh, this is going to be so close between C/B and FB/Ciz. Just as we all knew it was going to be before we ever sat down to watch this whole competition today. It's all going to come down to the free dance .... but, then, WHO is surprised by that?

 

[Desperado]

Carol Lane - not a C/B fan.

 

[CantALoop]

I wonder if anyone told C/B that when they were told to skate to the 90ies songs, they don't have to skate to all 90ies songs.

Be grateful it wasn’t a “Greatest Hits of the 50s/60s/70s” CD compilation like last year where they felt a need to skate to 5 seconds of every year

 

[MacMadame]

Damn, second.

 

[Jay42]

Carol doesn't think C&B's program is 90s enough. Well Carol, this GenXer thinks that almost none of the programs are 90s in any meaningful way.

I agree with you

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Ooh levels. It’s over now probably for OGM

 

[Andora]

Carol Lane & Kurt have been less effusive with praise for anyone skating after Piper & Paul. I don't know why I'm ever surprised, her commentary has pissed me off since 2014.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

By the way, what’s with all the empty seats right in the middle. That is a pet peeve of

As far as aesthetics, not my favorite Olympic venue. I think I may even prefer Turin over this.

 

[MacMadame]

Ooh levels. It’s over now probably for OGM

Um, there's a FD to get there. SMH

 

[Cachoo]

Uh-oh

 

[skategal]

Wow Patrice looks like his head is going to explode.

 

[my little pony]

well this RD finally gave me something interesting

 

[floridaice]

interesting audience response

 

[skatfan]

Patch shocked at the score

 

[once_upon]

Carol Lane - not a C/B fan.

Is that a surprise?

Even the celebratory kiss was like I promised your dad to bring you home safe

 

[Wyliefan]

They don't like that. The audience doesn't like that. Nobody likes that -- except, presumably, the French.

 

[rfisher]

now we have a competition. Bring on the FS.

 

[Jay42]

Still less than a point between 1st and 2nd and then between 3rd and 4th so anything can really happen on Wednesday still.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Chock/Bates behind F-B/Cizeron by less than a point. That will make things interesting. I didn't see the French so can't compare.

Third still looks like a three way fight

 

[Colonel Green]

If Patrice is confused at that score, he should probably talk to the French team's coaches.

 

[Desperado]

Damn, second.

By 0.46 only though.
