2026 Olys Pairs FS PBP - Are We Not Entertained?

[CantALoop]

Multitude of problems in the SBS jumps

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I wonder if Tara actually has any idea what the word couture means.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I do kind of wish this music had more highs or Lows or something.

 

[Braulio]

I feel sorry for them, to think that a couple of years ago they were on top of the world

Still all respect for Deanna for being here and making her dream of competing at the Olympics a reality

 

[tangerine dream]

I like the Poles. They have nice, positive energy.

Was this a polarity pun? If so I love it!

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 .

 

[terisa]

Team Stellato didn't spend much costuming her partner...

 

[Private Citizen]

Well, at least they'll beat the Kovalevs . (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.

Deanna's new FS dress is beautiful, I just wish they had put Max in black because the Maroon clashes with the dress. Glad they played it safe w/ intentional double sal's, and finally got their Olympic moment.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I'm just relieved that they finished strong and both look happy!

 

[Bunny Hop]

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.

But she shops at TJMaxx!!

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

 

[my little pony]

ok everyone unclench that was respectable and no one is injured

 

[overedge]

Got here just in time!!

 

[Citlali]

Bringing the sbs 2sal, I was worried we were losing 2022 - 2026 pairs skating traditions

Deanna looks lovely in that red, and the dress is beautiful, but now Maxime clashes

That was pretty good, all things considered

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Canadian standing ovation in my living room!

 

[Colonel Green]

That was nice. Considering everything they've been through to get here, they should be happy.

 

[skategal]

Phew......so glad Deanna and Max made it through.

What a triumph to even be here at all.

Rockstars!!

 

[rfisher]

Apart from the SBS jumps which were a mess, that was a good skate for S-D/D. They are the judge if that counts as a redemption skate or a just glad we skated skate.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

male pairs are serving chest hair this season. ️

 

[kemc]

Well. That was really moving.

 

[Hedwig]

It is so good to see in their reactions that they see these skates in perspective and are able to embrace the opportunity to skate here.

she got hit on the nose?

 

[slicekw]

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?

 

[Cachoo]

Against all odds she is at the Olympics. Good for them!

 

[miffy]

Well, at least they'll beat the Kovalevs . (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.

 

[Karen-W]

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.

 

[Hanna]

Loved the final minute of presentation after the jumps were done.

 

[danafan]

Deanna and Max had their Olympic moment, though probably not the one they envisioned. But I'm so happy for them and am tearing up a bit

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Did she say I think I broke my nose?
