2026 Olys Womens SP PBP - Cheated Rivalry

[CantALoop]

The singing is so overwrought , it took me a while to realize the singer was actually singing in English

 

[Hedwig]

for me, Olga is one of the best skaters in the world. Mad transitional content and such dancing abilites. Drat the ur

 

[made_in_canada]

Ohhh, I like this choreography!

Olga putting together a clean short program for the first time in what feels like a while.

Q SP: 61.72 = 3rd Place

 

[JoannaLouise]

It looks like all of her jumping passes are under review, but I loved the way that Olga really performed every single second of her program. Really interesting choreo, there were no "throw-away" moments.

 

[PRlady]

Olga could give seminars on expressing the music. Even weird music.

 

[Karen-W]

Good skate for Olga. We'll see what the tech panel does to her jumps, but this should definitely be a season's best for her.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Olga is going to tell us all about the stages of life and acceptance of aging in a 2 minute 50 second program.

She'd could have done me a birthday favour and not reminded me about how old I am today.

 

[ks1227]

Well that was quite peppy from Mikutina, in comparison with many of the programs we have seen!

 

[MacMadame]

I liked the positions in that last spin.

Olga was born in the Ukraine, trains in NJ and Switzerland, and skates for Austria. That is figure skating in a nutshell.

 

[Jay42]

Did Olga go back to her original coaching team? I knew she had left Galit but I can't remember who her coach before Galit was

 

[Hanna]

So glad she had a good skate and you could see the performance shine through.

Kurt Browning making a Q Star Trek reference. He really is a total nerd.

Short Program

[Sylvia]

Elena Romanova (original coach in Austria), Rostislav Sinicyn (new?) are listed in Olga's ISU bio - were both in the kiss & cry with her?

 

[Rob]

Loved Mikutina’s program.

 

[Karen-W]

Did Olga go back to her original coaching team? I knew she had left Galit but I can't remember who her coach before Galit was

I feel like she's been in Austria since the semester ended in December, but I'm not positive.

Blinking choreography!!!

 

[Wyliefan]

Someone on Bluesky just called that opening "blinkography."

 

[tangerine dream]

Olga could give seminars on expressing the music. Even weird music.

Yes, please add her and Taljegard to all the skating shows.

 

[Skaterbob]

Britney <3

 

[Moto Guzzi]

Blinkography. Why???

 

[CantALoop]

Is she trying to do eyeography and blink to the music? Or is the rhinestone bothering her eye

 

[slicekw]

I have so many feelings about the blinking with the music at the start of her program. That deserves a plus somewhere.

 

[MacMadame]

What is the name of the fabric her dress is made of?

I'd be blinking too if I had rhinestones glued to the corner of my eyes

 

[Hanna]

Iida is not my favorite Finnish skater but there was clearly more presentation in that than she's had before so I'll give her for improving this program quite noticeably.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

What is the name of the fabric her dress is made of?

A lot

 

[flyingsit]

Are we sure she meets the age requirement? She looks around 12.

 

[CantALoop]

The combo spin travelled a lot but I liked the speed and the ending variation!
