2026 Olys Womens SP PBP - Cheated Rivalry

[ilovesalchows]

Oh the drama. I just can't even right now.

NOBODY NEEDS A VRAYLAR AD DURING THE LAST WARMUP PEACOCK

Well, it wasn't as bad as Kostner's SP in Torino.

Kostner managed... 11th? I think in the Torino SP. Lara is slotting most likely into 18th

So, that puts Pinzarrone into the penultimate group. Now the only question is whether or not Gubanova will give Samodelkina a spot in that group also.

What's more important to you, Gubanova staying ahead of Petrosian, or Somodelkina making the penultimate group?

Well, it wasn't as bad as Kostner's SP in Torino.

Have Italians ever skated well at a home Olympics besides this last team event?

 

[Messalina]

I didn't realize till now that Tara had repurposed Lilah's FS tartan into a prom dress

ETA errrrrg while trying actively to sabotage all three US women

 

[MacMadame]

Poor Chiba, only my dogs are clapping, no one in the arena.

I cheered in my living room!

FP/M. In the CD

Oh, Gubs beating Petrosian, for sure, lol. I'd laugh for days if the Russian girl discarded by the RusFed back in her junior days beats their newest doped-up Eteribot.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

ugggghhhh my nerves. What if I hide under the desk.

 

[Bunny Hop]

It's not propped up, she deserves high PCS.

Fair point. I clearly need more coffee.

 

[Private Citizen]

From what we can see of the warmup, looks like a good one for Amber with a clean 3A and nice 3Lo.

 

[PRlady]

Honestly I’m mad at Petrosian pre-occupying us all, although the reasons are understandable. We have some really interesting, varied and talented women to enjoy and we all just want to bury the (poor) girl who shouldn’t be here in the first place.

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Amber looks nervous. Come on Amber!!! You got this!!

 

[Matryeshka]

I hope the audience goes wild for Isabeau. I don't think she has a legitimate shot for the podium unless she's perfect and others make mistakes, but I hope she wins the crowd.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I've acquired an emotional support stuffy since I found it helpful for the FD.

Me and Eeyore are going to try our best to survive.

Tara would really like to be the ONLY US gold medalist

 

[Skaterbob]

I'm not 100% Chiba is nervous, just very reserved. Nice combo from her.

 

[MacMadame]

Did Alysa get a new costume because "it's the Olympics" or did the old one just wear out? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[tangerine dream]

Kostner managed... 11th? I think in the Torino SP. Lara is slotting most likely into 18th

If you go by placements sure, but the field is much stronger here. Kostner splatted on her opening jump and didn't bother adding a combo to her solo jump.

 

[PRlady]

There are no stuffies or live cats here. Gonna complain to the landlord.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Tara would really like to be the ONLY US gold medalist

Boy do I have bad news for her.

 

[Jay42]

It sounds like Brenda Irving keeps calling someone Andy. Is that Kurt Browning's middle name or something?

 

[Aceon6]

Mone seems to have the biggest puke face. I hope that skating last won’t “ice” her.

 

[Firedancer]

I liked Alysa’s old dress better

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Did Alysa get a new costume because "it's the Olympics" or did the old one just wear out? Inquiring minds want to know.

She said she was going to get a new free skate dress for the Olympics. SP is barely different, so I dunno.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Just please everyone do their best.

Alysa is such a cool cucumber, high fiving the EMTs!

 

[MacMadame]

Okay, I believed people who said it's new but it doesn't look new to me.

 

[tangerine dream]

Fusar-Poli/Margaglio won the CD (with questionable judging)? Of course everything that happened after that was a Greek tragedy.

 

[Wyliefan]

The dress looks so similar to the old one, I didn't realize it was new at first.
