2026 Olys Mens FS PBP - Habemus Pop-am

[Hedwig]

after the first two skates I thought we would be in for a hell of an evening. Alas.

 

[Desperado]

Boyang using a song reminding me of Keegan Messing, just no.

 

[peibeck]

oh was that Jeff goldblum? I met him once when he was trying to pick up students in a coffeeshop.

He's got an 8 year old, so maybe he was successful.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Browning desperately wishing for some clean skates.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Whenever you doubt your job performance, just remember that someone heard this music and really thought Jin would connect with it.

 

[hermajesty]

he is ssssssslow

 

[miffy]

8 years ago it would have seemed so unlikely Jin would ever skate to anything like this. He's come such a long way.

 

[Spikefan]

This looks so sloppy right after Naumov.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I know the Olympics are in Italy, but I'm not sure that an Italian operatic-style cover of an Ed Sheeran song was necessarily the way to go

 

[beckab81]

Browning desperately wishing for some clean skates.

He realizes we're watching Men, right? We were gifted with lots of clean shorts, and this is the price.

 

[peibeck]

oh wow jin's music is giving alternate super bowl. I wish I smoked.

No, it's half in a foreign language.

 

[terisa]

The men are really mennning now...

 

[Private Citizen]

Jin crawling into these jumps. Nothing to this program. And now he’s coming apart too. Painfully slow and pitiful ice coverage.

Hope the Zamboni wipes the hex off the ice!

 

[text_skate]

I wonder what they put into the ice. Did we have a clean skate so far?

 

[Citlali]

My sister is asking me indignant, why is everyone falling... I don't know what is worse, this is the person that gave me as a gift my first and only event live... France GP (and went with me to ALL the skating) and the person who has heard me talk about this sport since I was 14 and she was 9. Has she learned nothing from me ? Does the phrase "the men are mening" means nothing to her?

I feel like my knowledge has been wasted

Lori Nichol?

 

[Carolla5501]

8 years ago it would have seemed so unlikely Jin would ever skate to anything like this. He's come such a long way.

Actually my feeling is he's become much less of performer and this overall feels empty. kind of a could be skating to anything for the first half

 

[peibeck]

This looks so sloppy right after Naumov.

And will probably get higher PCS.

 

[beckab81]

Li was pretty clean?

 

[MacMadame]

I love Boyang but this program is extremely front-loaded. That one spin aside, it's just jump, jump, jump and then all the other elements.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

He's got an 8 year old, so maybe he was successful.

Right he's married to Canadian Olympic rhythmic gymnast Emilie Livingstone who is something like 29 years younger than him.

 

[my little pony]

No, it's half in a foreign language.

so I guess it's just regular ugly, still wish I smoked

 

[Private Citizen]

I think Jin was slower than Jennifer Robinson. Seriously.

 

[Karen-W]

I know the Olympics are in Italy, but I'm not sure that an Italian operatic-style cover of an Ed Sheeran song was necessarily the way to go

It's not even a cover - it's a duet with Ed Sheeran! It's bonkers!

Sigh, looks like Egadze will be moving up another spot - but chances are that Kao & Lukas will also be moving up - at least I hope they beat this mess from Boyang.

[Spikefan]

The first two if you don’t count URs.

 

[allezfred]

Benoit is going to get hit with some excess baggage fees.

 

[MsZem]

I still have a soft spot for Boyang. He did the most with what talent he had.

 

[peibeck]

Right he's married to Canadian Olympic rhythmic gymnast Emilie Livingstone who is something like 29 years younger than him.

Get that $$$$$ girl!!!

 

[MsZem]

I think Jin was slower than Jennifer Robinson. Seriously.

Nobody is that slow
