2026 Olys Pairs SP PBP - Veni, Vidi, Wedgie

[ilovesalchows]

Do we really think Sui and Han are 3rd best so far?

 

[Matryeshka]

Oh thank you skate gods. I was scared that this was going to be some kind of genie situation where N/M get in because Deanna is out. Oh well, I hope they can skate the long with total freedom and abandon.

 

[Karen-W]

OMG, did they get no points for that lift?

That score hurt to look at.

Per the live scoring they got 4.40 points on the lift - about 3.5-4 less than they would have gotten with no errors.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Okay, who had Perreira/Michaud in top 5 after the short on their bingo card?

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

Max has looked off all season. Deanna may be 42, but he's skating like he is too.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Metelkina/Berulava has the chance to become the first reigning junior world champions to become Olympic champions.

Knowing them, they also have the chance to become the first reigning Olympic champions to become junior world champions....

No.

 

[ilovepaydays]

NBC why the extreme closeup?

Yeah, that was weird. Someone was really hoping to catch a single tear.

It wouldn’t be NBC’s coverage if they didn’t make at least one thing awkward to watch.

 

[Spikefan]

Well Deanna and Max made the free and they are Olympians.

I’ll take it.

And she gets best dressed.

Even if D/S were out, it would be the dutch that were in, not N/M who are in last.

Okay, who had Perreira/Michaud in top 5 after the short on their bingo card?

I would guess approximately the same number of people that had Shaidarov as men's gold medalist.

You trying to rage-bait us Americans into wuzrobbing for KamO & ChanHowe?

Words cannot describe how much I loathe Metelkina's hair. I do not want to know what she used to style those spirally wisps on her forehead.

If it's the big thing on TikTok, I don't want to hear about!

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

Was Minerva wearing red earlier in the season? I have no memory of this dress.

 

[Skaterbob]

Per the live scoring they got 4.40 points on the lift - about 3.5-4 less than they would have gotten with no errors.

Is that including the fall deductions and protentional position goe they usually get? Can you share the live scoring where ever it is?

 

[Cachoo]

And she gets best dressed.

Gorgeous.

 

[Allen]

When I heard the Shania Twain hook, I was like WTF...then went euro trance...

 

[PRlady]

I think Ellie and Danny were a bit robbed, and as I’ve never been a fan, I speaketh the truth.

Poor Deanna!

Sara Conti looks like Emilea Zingas’ sister.

LOL Donovan looks so handsome. Ilia looks like someone who will question his hair choices in 10 years.

 

[tangerine dream]

Metelkina/Berulava has the chance to become the first reigning junior world champions to become Olympic champions.

Knowing them, they also have the chance to become the first reigning Olympic champions to become junior world champions....

And even then the ISU wouldn't change the junior eligibility rules, 23-year-olds in juniors is crazy.

 

[CantALoop]

42. The answer to life, the universe and everything.

What a legend.

And here I am

It wouldn’t be NBC’s coverage if they didn’t make at least one thing awkward to watch.

NBC obviously hasn’t learned and they deserve all the blowback they’ve been getting about how they treated Ilia

 

[peibeck]

Minerva looks so nervous. Hold it together girl!

 

[rfisher]

And he's not just changings jackets, shirts, too

Commitment

 

[allezfred]

Sara is looking very Conti tonight!

 

[my little pony]

ok Yuna and Sumitada can still qualify

 

[Theatregirl1122]

So much potential for greatness in this group. So much potential for .

 

[MsZem]

Ilia and Donovan watching things would make a great web series.

 

[Kateri]

The best pair stare came from Stolbova after Klimov aborted a lift and dropped her. I wasn't sure he was going to live.

Wasn't that the time it emerged that he'd been drinking heavily the night before? I'm with her.

 

[Aussie Willy]

When I heard the Shania Twain hook, I was like WTF...then went euro trance...

And the announcer saying "you have one minute remaining" fits in perfectly for a techno.
