2026 Olys Pairs FS PBP - Are We Not Entertained?

[ilovepaydays]

The Japanese have won!

Hungary: hold my beer.

Isn’t Hungary known WAY more for their liquors and wine? Why bother with beer when Czechia is almost next door?

 

[Colonel Green]

Good luck, Lia & Trennt.

They could skate really well here and still drop a few ordinals, alas.

 

[Amy L]

I'd be fine if that got a bronze. They're snoozy but safe to watch.

 

[rfisher]

I'll just say hmmm.....with regard to scoring and ignoring faults with some teams and not others. This is what I dislike most about figure skating.

 

[my little pony]

lol more gladiator, that's what people want

 

[Bunny Hop]

I know Pereira/Michaud are unlikely to hold their position but a bit of me hopes against hope that they do and throw the cat amongst the pigeons.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Conservative score.... guessing they'll need two mistakes from the Georgians to be on the podium. (I forgot how many skaters were left!)

The judges were really friendly to MetBru yesterday, so I would think so.

 

[LilJen]

Do we need to send Sviatchenko to the salon with all,the others?

 

[miffy]

Why do the 2nd and 3rd place pairs sit away from the leaders chairs? It looks like they are sat on ice coolers

 

[CantALoop]

Technically proficient obviously but very boring.

I lol'ed when Johnny said it's the same music as Stolbova/Klimov as 2014 as if that was an iconic performance - I barely remember it

 

[personwhoishere]

It's like wearing the same dress to prom...

 

[Theatregirl1122]

That's what they've been doing for every event. Yuma and Shun were over there during Ilia's skate.

 

[CantALoop]

I wish Trennnnnt would show off his biceps more

 

[shan]

I feel the same for them too. I feel the same for most pairs to be honest.

I was going to say that. Most pairs seem to have to focus so much on elements, that actual choreo seems secondary. I'm just happy when I like the music they choose!

 

[Aceon6]

Nope. No Gogo.

 

[Amy L]

It'd be funny if multiple gladiators got on the podium.

 

[Matryeshka]

For some reason when I read that my brain autocorrrected monobob to monoboob.

Monoboob is a perfectly acceptable word. Mardi Gras is happening concurrently with the Olys this year, and I've seen plenty of monoboob. And polyboob. There is no iteration boob I have not seen. It is New Orleans way of being in solidarity with the Wedgie.

Imagine if the Japanese had skated to this Gladiator cut...

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh dear.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Does the Olympics give out small medals for the short programs?

 

[Skaterbob]

I thought she was going to throw a double axel on that throw.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

lol more gladiator, that's what people want

I mean, I kind of do want to hear some of the music cuts I actually like now that M/K teased me with it.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Dammit Trennnnnt! There goes a medal (yes, unlikely as it was).

 

[danafan]

Sigh too bad they couldn't feed off the momentum of the skaters who went before them.

 

[alj5]

Lia has become such an amazing pair skater. I wonder if Trennnnnnnt will continue after this season.

 

[Aussie Willy]

Canadians out. And Japanese have a medal.

 

[Lanie]

no medal now

 

[miffy]

Johnny saying that they didn't have an "Olympic moment" because they need errors from others to medal.

Which really seems unfair. I think they had their Olympic moment whether or not they medal.

Does that mean Mikhail didn't have an Olympic moment either?

 

[PRlady]

No surprise Canadian medal. I’ll take Germany/Japan in any order and Hungarians, thank you.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I feel like Maxime Trennnnnt is now starting to have issues with jumps.
