2026 Olys Pairs SP PBP - Veni, Vidi, Wedgie

[peibeck]

Elements done but the Poles are a little sloppy and out of synch, especially odd since they had this SP last year too.

 

[allezfred]

I hate the way this is going. I wanted all 3 teams without Qs to qualify. I'm nervous for Ana & Luke now. Maybe if I stop rooting for them they'll do well

Am getting nervous for the Brits as well. This has been a pretty well skated event so far with the exception of the Japanese…

 

[PRlady]

Finally clean!

I do like Ioulia, Michael and Florence.

 

[overedge]

I think you might be on to something here. There actually IS a resemblance between Johnny and Pee Wee.

Especially when Johnny greases his hair.

 

[Sally1214]

I love Florence and the Machine and I really enjoyed that program by Ioulia and Michal. That color looked really great on her too. So, no negative comments from this peanut gallery regarding this pair.

 

[Coco]

She does the same open mouth musical interpretation that Emily was doing, but her's looks a lot more genuine.

 

[Lizziebeth]

I think you might be on to something here. There actually IS a resemblance between Johnny and Pee Wee.

I have not looked to see and don't plan to but that is funny!

Mmm, pierogi is back.

 

[Amy L]

I have been so tempted to buy a pierog stuffie since the team event

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I love watching pairs because I’m not invested in anybody.

I'm not really invested in any of them but I want a lot of them to do well. But I will be happy with a lot of outcomes. I'm pulling for Hase/Volodin, Miura/Kihara, and Contii Macii. I'd be over the moon if Deanna and Max medalled, but I don't think that's realistic and I just want them to have a great time. I also like MetBru fine and don't think I'll be upset if they medal.

Cam shot of Donovan, Ilia & Piper in the athletes section.

And ChtWoz earn their Q!!!!

 

[Hedwig]

ah wonderful joy in the KnC!

 

[ilovepaydays]

And there’s the…….pierogis!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Mmm, pierogi is back.

The Pierogi is the most iconic character in these Olympics.

 

[MacMadame]

Mmm, pierogi is back.

Pierogi reminds me of a late Aunt. Her pierogis and pizzelles were to die for.

 

[ilovesalchows]

I keep hoping one of these teams that is skating better than Sui/Han will you know, score better than them.

 

[genevieve]

Trennt and part we were having such a good program before those sbs spins

 

[CantALoop]

This music leaves me
but they’re killing it!

 

[allezfred]

Think Canadians will lead with that!

 

[Desperado]

Lia and Trennt with an improved performance from the TE!

 

[Colonel Green]

Great job!

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I'm not a fan of P/M. But it is a good program with good elements

 

[MacMadame]

Okay, those SBS spins were excellent. Decently close and in sync. Probably best we've seen so far.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

At worlds top 20 make it through now, correct?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Looks like we will have new leaders! At least we should.

 

[overedge]

Wooo!! Good job, Lia and Trennt!

But please don't use this dreary, low-energy music again.
