2026 Olys Pairs SP PBP - Veni, Vidi, Wedgie

[miffy]

That was nice for K/O. Not perfect but not bad enough to kill their buzz!

Has she got a problem with her arm/shoulder? It's all taped up.

 

[ilovepaydays]

Nice job Ellie and Danny!

Assuming that Danny is retiring after this season, I’m wondering who Ellie could pair up with.

 

[skategal]

Go Deanna and Max!!!

 

[Matryeshka]

I just screamed and woke up both my dogs and got doggy side-eyed. They're not fans of golden retrievers--one attacked Gatsby when he was a puppy and to this day, he won't acknowledge retrievers at Camp Bow Wow or the dog park.

[Flip Jump]

Anyone else missing Benoît of the many team jackets?

Dmitry Savin is a great replacement. 6 teams from 6 different countries!

 

[Wyliefan]

Someone on Threads keeps posting her photo of when she went to homecoming with Danny back in the day. It's cute. He had SO MUCH hair then , but the same face and the same smile.

 

[Sally1214]

GO, DEANNA AND MAX!!

 

[rfisher]

Lots of little errors with Kam/O'Shea and generous scoring.

 

[MsZem]

Deanna's Oscar de la Renta costumes are KILLER.

Slay, you two!

 

[Karen-W]

I can't believe they got a SB for that with a hand down on the throw. I mean... yeah, scores have been high all day, but, seriously, judges.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Deanna and Max are Olympians!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I can’t believe they’ve been together for seven years that’s like all of your junior high school and high school years already.

 

[Coco]

When a lady puts her hand down on a throw jump, is positive GOE still possible? After seeing +GOE for some of the bobbled twizzles, I feel like negative GOE for what Ellie just did is a bit harsh, lol.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

*looking at the jumps

So, which one of them is 40+?

 

[Matryeshka]

Who'd have thought among the Americans it would be Ellie and Danny having the Olympics of their life?

I might have that above Sui/Han, but then again, I think that score is very good and very fair for what they did on the ice.

 

[Wyliefan]

I giggle every time I remember that quote from Deanna about how her doctors said she's really intense.

 

[rfisher]

I don't usually say anything about scoring as it all works out, but some teams are getting a lot of breaks that others are not. Just be fair to everybody!

 

[Bill Trenary]

NO!!!!! Ugh...

 

[mattiecat13]

Seems like they are skating very carefully.

 

[tony]

I’m so happy Deanna is here, expected very little but they actually looked surprisingly sharp and intense and it’s fitting the program. Of course until the ending.

 

[CantALoop]

Holy sh*t did they hit the boards??

 

[miffy]

What happened?!

 

[overedge]

[breathes again]

 

[jamesy]

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Seems like they are skating very carefully.

Not carefully enough, obviously

 

[tangerine dream]

I giggle every time I remember that quote from Deanna about how her doctors said she's really intense.

I would assume it only takes about 5 minutes spent with Deanna to figure out how intense she is.

 

[canbelto]

Oh no that wasn't good ...

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

h My Goddddddd I thought the foot work on his lift was becoming a bit shaky or fast or wild, and then it was the dismount or something.
