2026 Olys Mens FS PBP - Habemus Pop-am

[MsZem]

Brenda Irving just called this the "men's free dance competition"

Majorov's ears perk up.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

apparently "Steven" Lambiel is with Deniss.

Is that Stephan's cousin? Twin?

 

[Hedwig]

Is that Stephan's cousin? Twin?

maybe the one who can jump a 3axel?

 

[SlavicaK]

The Swiss TV has lost interest now that Lukas Britschgi is done. So Rai 2 it is!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

maybe the one who can jump a 3axel?

The downside is that he skates like there's no music playing. The upside/downside is he only wears incredibly normal, tasteful shirts.

 

[floridaice]

bunch of grim looking coaches

 

[peibeck]

In my list of skaters I hope had a beer at the bar together, I hope Kao and Lukas had a don't-belong-in-this-group shot.

There's definitely the possibility to still move up for both of them (Kao already has). You know, men will be menning.

 

[Private Citizen]

Rough warmup for Nika with lots of pops and but finally got the 4Lz. Another step out.

Rizzo popped the quad at least five times but he did that in the team event warmup too.

Naumov lots of 3S

Vasiljevs 2S - trying the quad?

Jin looking good.

 

[Nadin]

Insane that this is only group 2

 

[tangerine dream]

maybe the one who can jump a 3axel?

But his spins are shit.

[Lara]

Insane that this is only group 2

The men’s field is genuinely tough!!!

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Go older bro!

 

[peibeck]

Is that Stephan's cousin? Twin?

The name he uses when checking in to shady hotels.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Oh no! Someone forgot to tell Selevko that he didn't tuck in half his shirt!

 

[slicekw]

“Shirt in, shirt out? Shirt in, shirt out? Shirt…. Squirrel!!!!!”

ADHD dressing exemplified by Selevko

 

[umronnie]

What is this snoozefest from Sexy Lexi?

 

[floridaice]

maybe it's my TV, but this isn't a good red color on Aleksandr.

 

[my little pony]

selves looks as tired as we do right now

 

[Wyliefan]

The sluggish way he came up to that board made me think he'd decided to give up and go home.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Older bro getting his frustrations out on the boards.

 

[slicekw]

Oh he’s angry. That explains the Carmine red.

 

[Private Citizen]

Was landing the jumps but then 3Lz<< and 2S. The axels both looked like they could possibly be short. Program was a snooze until he banged on the boards.

 

[Kaz7714]

This thread title is fab .
I have to work tomorrow, so no booze for me. Which will be dearly needed for the last group...
Hoping Adam can hold on to a medal lights candle.

 

[Karen-W]

And Selevko also loses steam for the last two jumping passes. His program is at least a much better fit for him that Britschgi's so the last minute isn't quite as dull.

 

[text_skate]

I liked that very much from Selevko, what a pity about the mistakes in the second half. He's quite a performer. I've heard somewhere, that he is off ice more the quiet type

 

[MsZem]

Well it was better than Euros at least.

 

[text_skate]

The Swiss TV has lost interest now that Lukas Britschgi is done. So Rai 2 it is!

Do you have a link for RAI?

 

[beckab81]

LOVE Selevko's step sequence. The rest of the program is meh, but he makes the most of the steps!

Aleksandr was making changes to the jump layout throughout the performance, and it seemed to catch up to him with the last few jumps. Performance not as a sharp as at Skate Canada.

SP: 82.02 = 18th Place
FS: 154.80 = 3rd Place
Total: 236.82 = 3rd Place
