2026 Olys Mens FS PBP - Habemus Pop-am

[delayedaxel]

Would this even have counted as singing?

I was looking at the big picture...

 

[skategal]

Just watch the craziest song of the whole season land on the Olympic podium.

 

[annie_mg]

This music choice is so annoying that I can see Plushenko having skated to it in the past.

It was actually used in rhythmic gymnastics quite a lot. But that's a 90 second programme so it's acceptable.

 

[Wiery]

She really should not have shown off her vocal range...

 

[Sally1214]

SHAIDOROV!! That was an excellent skate. SO happy for him.

On a side note, with those glasses perched on the end of his nose, Urmanov is really rockin' the grandfather vibes. Maybe he is one? I don't know.

 

[Kaz7714]

Heck, that was the first time this season that Mikhael skated this program with passion, so to speak. I still have a soft spot with him, bad programs aside.

 

[ks1227]

Shaidorov's hair can't be aerodynamic

Apparently it is! Holy Jumping Ability today! Maybe some of the other skaters should try the same haircut!

 

[ilovesalchows]

I really wish judges would deduct GOE for shitty cartwheels.

No but I saw Simone Biles there, she is waiting backstage to have words

 

[Theatregirl1122]

If this medals I'll take it as the Skating Gods' tribute to Denis Ten.

I can't say anything about Shadirov seems like a tribute to Denis Ten to me...

 

[Perky Shae Lynn]

This was crazy.

 

[MacMadame]

The muggle is absolutely fascinated with Shaidorov, but in a macabre sort of way. She screamed wthen Fifth Element came on and said "his hair IS the Fifth Element."

She is correct.

 

[Wyliefan]

Shun is so cute.

 

[skatfan]

Tech at 114.68

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

How is that Urmanov has aged by 30 years and I haven't?

 

[Karen-W]

What I will say is that Shaidorov has put the pressure on the next three guys to skate their best.

 

[rfisher]

If this medals I'll take it as the Skating Gods' tribute to Denis Ten.

You remember what happened to all the top skaters so that D10 got that bronze.

 

[just tuned in]

She really should not have shown off her vocal range...

Reminded me of the score for TWL.

 

[made_in_canada]

Who are all these people wearing yellow with helmets?

Medical people? That was my assumption. Helmets, because ice?

 

[Hedwig]

I guess his hair was aerodynamic after all



what a skate!

[slicekw]

Well SOMEONE wants a medal!!!!

 

[umronnie]

Urmy looks like such a teddy bear uncle

 

[SlavicaK]

Where is Righini?! He should be celebrating in the K&C.

 

[Sally1214]

YES!! That was SO deserved.
Tough for Grassl to have to skate after that. Good luck to him.

 

[Spikefan]

Good for him after such a rough season.

 

[allezfred]

And now the performance all of us cultural Catholics have been waiting for…

 

[Karen-W]

I don't think Grassl can beat that, even on home ice with a tech panel that may turn a blind eye to his rotations.

 

[Skaterbob]

Wow, tech was amazing but it was Urmanov 2 in terms of the program

I always liked Urmanov's programs.... and he sold them. I'm not sure Mikhail is there with the selling it yet but Mikhail himself appears extremely likable.

 

[Private Citizen]

To be fair we can’t blame lyrics for that monstrosity. Sandhu used it before lyrics were allowed. Vocals without lyrics were ok.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I hate Grassl, but this incredibly literal Cardinal costume cracks me up.
