2026 Olys Mens SP PBP - A Minion Ways to Dies (Irae)

[canbelto]

Step out on the combo for Shun

 

[miffy]

Not Japan's day today

 

[Desperado]

Smack her upside the head.

With that hair, she won't even feel it.

 

[Karen-W]

Ooof - messy combo from Shun. That is probably going to be enough to put Grassl into the last group for the FS.

 

[annie_mg]

Next year Sato needs to skate bigger and show more of everything. It's all there but he can do so much more.

 

[Nadin]

Here's the TE pattern so far... The guys who skated poorly or less than their best in the TE SP have skated better today, and the guys who has great TE SPs have made errors today. Make of that what you will for the 3 men from the TE in this final group.

And the pattern continues..

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Is she even in Italy?

I'm sure her house has closets.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

So, does it mean that out of the 20 great Japanese skaters, Sato becomes the next big thing?

That was a very good skate. Not quite amazing but very good indeed.

 

[personwhoishere]

This music makes me miss Mao Asada

 

[Colonel Green]

Aced the quad Lutz and then botched a much simpler combination.

 

[slicekw]

Damn, I kinda wanted Sato for 3rd, but that’s going to be a lot of points to make up in the Free.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Ooof TES around Naumov

Shun Sato
Coach: T. Kusaka, K. Asano
Music: Ladies in Lavender

4Lz
4T+2T - two-footed, step out
Change Foot Sit Spin 4
Flying Camel Spin 3
3A
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Combo Spin 3

Uncharacteristic mistake on the combination for Sato opens up the door for the bronze medal if others can step up.

Q 88.70 = 5th Place

 

[overedge]

Not in love with that music (screechy violins give me Joanne Macleod vibes) but other than the jumps that was lovely.

 

[Private Citizen]

Has the base value from the 4Lz but will lose a lot from the double and the mistake. Also think GOEs should not be anywhere near Cha or even Aymoz.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Uggghhhhhhh noooooo.

And he's going to let Grassl into the final group.

 

[flyingsit]

Uncharacteristic mistake on the combination for Sato opens up the door for the bronze medal if others can step up.

I’d be so up for Adam getting bronze

 

[Karen-W]

Scores coming in and I swear... If they PCS him ahead of Torgy, I might riot. It's going to be very close.

 

[slicekw]

This music makes me miss Mao Asada

I don’t miss her costumes.

 

[tangerine dream]

I’d be so up for Adam getting bronze

I'd love a French bronze, I don't even care which guy gets it.

 

[miffy]

I’d be so up for Adam getting bronze

I'm so so nervous for Adam.

 

[MacMadame]

I'm using an Apple TV and have no problem rewinding the venue feed (except during commercials)

Same with Roku.

 

[Private Citizen]

Behind Torgashev, good judging.

All fingers crosssed for Adam

 

[overedge]

goooo Adam

 

[ilovesalchows]

I'd love a French bronze, I don't even care which guy gets it.

Hopefully Cizeron

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I'm still not quite sure why Adam created such a perfect illusion of a hairy back, but here we are

 

[Karen-W]

Damn, I kinda wanted Sato for 3rd, but that’s going to be a lot of points to make up in the Free.

Depends on what the next 3 guys do. He's within easy striking distance of Grassl.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

So is Adam going to touch the hand of (the Quad) God?
