2026 Olys Pairs SP PBP - Veni, Vidi, Wedgie

[peibeck]

That's the most presentation and passion I've ever seen C/V give. Should be running away with this, but I guess we'll see.

 

[MacMadame]

This team has really grown on me this season!

 

[miffy]

Wow, the competition is WIDE open.
And this is not the result I predicted after the sp.

If anyone had bet on this top 3 they would probably be very rich

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Who are the 3 guys in yellow jackets with what looks like helmet on by the boards?

It's been speculated they are the EMS.

 

[~tapdancer~]

These Olympics are something else. Haven't been able to watch yet but all I can say is K/O, C/H and especially P/M....stay away from the media! Hunker down and stay in your heads.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Yay my goddess Minerva and cutie Nikita!

 

[Bill Trenary]

Who are the 3 guys in yellow jackets with what looks like helmet on by the boards?

Yeah I've been wondering that all week...very distracting

 

[Aussie Willy]

Who are the 3 guys in yellow jackets with what looks like helmet on by the boards?

Maybe first aiders?

 

[overedge]

Who are the 3 guys in yellow jackets with what looks like helmet on by the boards?

Medical/first aid attendants. In case someone REALLY hurts themselves.

 

[tangerine dream]

After being robbed of the world title last year, I'd be thrilled to see H/V win.

 

[Amy L]

My opinion that he is an exceptionally lovely forklift still stands.

 

[Karen-W]

Ugh. Arrived home to see the judges gifting the Japanese a ticket to the final group.

Nope - they're in 5th.

Hase and Volodin a little trippy in the footwork, but should still go into the free with a big margin, at least 7-8 points

I don't know about 7-8 points over MetBeru, but 5 points for sure.

 

[Habs]

Beautiful but there should be a deduction on the death spiral? Leaders by far, regardless.

 

[smurfy]

Medical/first aid attendants. In case someone REALLY hurts themselves.

Thanks 3 on each end of rink

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I thought to myself "If M/B were 75+, this should be 80". And behold!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Beautiful but there should be a deduction on the death spiral? Leaders by far, regardless.

For what?

 

[overedge]

Wheee!!!

 

[slicekw]

That’s what is called a commanding lead.

Wow.

 

[Spikefan]

Tomorrow will be a nail biter as I don’t trust any of these teams to not melt down.

 

[Aussie Willy]

Medical/first aid attendants. In case someone REALLY hurts themselves.

After this event they also need mental health first aiders. There has been quite a bit of trauma out there on the ice.

 

[peibeck]

How about an Eteri witch?

Isn't that redundant?

 

[rfisher]

Unless you followed mid-level Russian pairs, you can't appreciate what Volodin being here and in this position means. Never say never Nikita.

 

[Wyliefan]

Very glad for the Germans -- but I hope the Japanese have the skate of their lives tomorrow!

 

[Bunny Hop]

Minerva rightly excited by the score.

I apologise to everyone - I think things began to go to shit when I started watching. But I'll have to wait until later to watch the earlier groups to see if that is correct.

 

[Amy L]

Still wuzrobbing the NED team.

 

[Lara]

Good for H&V for taking the opportunity given to them!

 

[overedge]

OK, off to Ikea on a Sunday afternoon. Thoughts and prayers please.

 

[LilJen]

Rabbit and Volodin get a nice 5-point cushion. Gutted for M/K.

 

[Cachoo]

Who are the 3 guys in yellow jackets with what looks like helmet on by the boards?

Minions!

 

[Lizziebeth]

Unless you followed mid-level Russian pairs, you can't appreciate what Volodin being here and in this position means. Never say never Nikita.

you are so right, he just needed to find the right partner
