2026 Olys Pairs FS PBP - Are We Not Entertained?

GOOD LORD NBC. You needed to get that Viking River Cruises ad in there did you? 😒

Although it was nice to let us know that we’ll be in the gold medal game in women’s ice hockey against 🇨🇦 or 🇨🇭.

Stellato/Deschamps - Not a good start with lack of SBS combo jumps, but gets better after that. Both throws done - first landing was tentative. I can breathe now lifts are done. Tech score a little behind Poland.

I like Deanna's dress apart from te sheer skirt. Would have prefered the solid glitter throughout.
 
Deanna Stellato-Dudek/Maxime Deschamps 🇨🇦
Coach: J. Picard, S. Winter, S. Yvars
Music: Poeta en el Mar, Amor Dulce Muerte

Triple Twist 4
3T+SEQ+A* - both struggled with the toeloop landing, Deanna put her foot down & didn't try the Axel
Reverse Lasso Lift 4
2S
Forward Inside Death Spiral 2
Pair Combo Spin 4
Throw 3Lo
Choreo Sequence
Throw 3S
Axel Lasso Lift 4

Hand-to-Hip Lift 4

The side-by-side jumps were a struggle, and the performance was tight for the first half. The second half opened more, and we saw the quality that they have been known for.

SP; 66.04 = 14th Place
FS: 126.57 = 1st Place
Total: 192.61 = 1st Place

Deanna’s put on her red dress and is skating for the sake of skating. TBH, I think she’s made all the points that need to be made. Jumps are really a problem tonight, but the elements, particularly when they are in a hold/lift/spin, are well-executed. And that dress is insanely gorgeous.

I know she wishes that she could be in medal contention, but seriously, how is skating here at her age not winning?
 
Well, at least they'll beat the Kovalevs :shuffle:. (They may beat the Poles, too, but not on my sceorecard.)

Glad Deanna is getting to complete, but also would be glad if they decide to let Laurin and Ethier go to Worlds.
L/E are my new sentimental favourites this year. I'd be pleased too if they got Worlds.
 
SDDes - Deanna's dress is very shiny - perhaps they should have skated to the Moana soundtrack. Also, I hate how her dress and his shirt really don't match tonally. 3tw - excellent; SBS 3t+seq+A - both of them had issues with the 3t and could only manage an Axel after she turned out; first lift - fine; SBS 3s - they both doubled; FODS - ugly blade grab - give them 0 GOE, please; combo spin - fine; throw 3lo - stayed up - hand may have brushed the ice; choreo seq - alright; throw 3s - landed; second lift - good; last lift - quite excellent.

Honestly, that was underwhelming. I know she's achieved her Olympic dream & was medically cleared but...

Well, I'll just say that should be below ChtWoz and leave it at that.
