    2026 Olympics Team Event - Strategy, Predictions & Discussion

    You do recall that ZingKol already beat LopBri in the FD at Cup of China, right? I don't think LopBri can beat ZingKol in the FD at the Olympics. I do think they could beat CarPon, unless their revamped "Perfume" FD is amazeballs, but even that may be a stretch.

    It may also depend on how Rizzo is looking/skating by then with respect to the men. Grassl has made himself into a serious dark horse contender for an individual medal and they may not want to wear him out, especially if Rizzo is healthier (I'm sort of thinking Memola won't be on the team due...

    Apparently, it's too hard to compete twice in a two-week span. ;)

    2026 Olympics Team Event - Strategy, Predictions & Discussion

    Well, the scenario I've been exploring today is France getting in over Canada. Like I said a couple of posts ago, Canada in the FS/FD over France makes it a lot harder for the USA. Though I'm also not sure I think that GilPoir will do the FD if Canada makes it into the FS/FD. In your...

    Well, that's presuming that Miura/Kihara beat Conti/Macii in Italy when an Olympic medal for Italy is on the line. Also, we know that Miura/Kihara are dealing with recurring injuries. But, say that Miura/Kihara do compete in both segments, that means that Sakamoto doesn't and, instead, Alysa...

    2026 Olympics Team Event - Strategy, Predictions & Discussion

    I haven't dialed in too deeply on the average SP or FS scores for most of the likely skaters/teams (maybe over the next few days/weekend I'll dig into that), but here's my current scenario for a possible TE result...

    We don't know that for sure. There are a LOT of variables, especially in ice dance. Say France does have FBCiz compete in the TE RD, that may be enough to knock Canada out of the TE FS/FD segment. In that scenario, it's a pretty strong bet that ZingKol finish no worse than 2nd in the FD. We...

    2025-26 U.S. Ice Dance News, Updates & Discussion - Backstreet Boys & Spice Girls

    Maybe we should run a quick poll over in the Trash Can as to which team it could be? I don't think it would be CarPon - changing up both programs in seven weeks is a LOT.

    2026 Olympics Team Event - Strategy, Predictions & Discussion

    Yes, but there are a lot of factors with respect to the TE that are unknowable until the first two days of competition play out. Things will be a lot clearer after Day 1 when we know how KamO have done in the Pairs SP. If they can manage to finish no worse than 5th, the USA may not need the...

    I think it's pretty remarkable she climbed from no ranking at the start of last season to 5th already. ;)
