2026 4CC - Pairs Free Skate

[PRlady]

Alisa and Mikael better win this. I’m sorry for Sui/Han, they are too old and battered for this.

 

[Vagabond]

Oy!

Can the Yankees steal this?

 

[Wyliefan]

Oy!

Can the Yankees steal this?

No stealing necessary. It's being handed to them.

 

[Karen-W]

SuiHan - SBs 3t+2a - mess for her with a forward landing on the 3a; 3tw - crazy amazing with one arm over her head; throw 3f - gorgeous; first lift - strong; SBS 3s - timing was way off & she fell; FODS - the leg grab is ugly, no matter who does it, Wenjing; combo spin - cumbersome, though interesting positions; throw 3s - hand down & nearly a fall on the landing as she spun out of it; second lift - good; last lift - bit sloppy on the exit; choreo seq - eh.

Well, this is going to be INTERESTING to see how much the judges try to prop them up on GOE. I really have to wonder if they're healthy enough to make it to Milano-Cortina. Less than 2 weeks until the TE SP.

 

[Lizziebeth]

They look pooped and I hope she is not injured. Not their day.

 

[BittyBug]

I loved loved loved this team at their peak but I don’t understand why they un-retired. They’re just not anywhere near their previous form.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Tough skate but I love the concern for each other right before the bows to the audience

 

[beckab81]

There’s still something magical about Sui & Han, but that wasn’t a great skate.

 

[miffy]

Oh that’s so sad to see her in pain

I’m happy for E/M, they deserve good things I hope they have a good worlds too.

 

[~tapdancer~]

How does everyone feel about S/H's Olympic chances? I want so bad for them to do well but they just seem like they are fighting so hard to get the throws and jumps done. They are loved and I think Hongbo is fighting for them as well.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Don't think Sui/Han can repeat as OGMs. Then again, the Olympic pairs comp has so much chaos potential.

 

[her grace]

Sui/Han

This is just sad to watch. Jumps out of sync and errors, skating slowly and looking like a totally different (worse) team than when they were at their prime

 

[Karen-W]

Don't think Sui/Han can repeat as OGMs. Then again, the Olympic pairs comp has so much chaos potential.

I don't think they can repeat. And, yes, the Olympic pairs comp has the most chaos potential, even more than the men.

Misha Mitrofanov - two-time 4CCs champ in an an Olympic season with two different partners!

 

[Wyliefan]

Aww, Alisa's dazed expression was so cute.

 

[miffy]

Ouch, the crowd sounds completely silent.

 

[Kateri]

Only one fall deduction? I'd call the Th3S a second fall...

 

[Spikefan]

Looking like they might pull out of the Olympics with those tears.

 

[beckab81]

How does everyone feel about S/H's Olympic chances? I want so bad for them to do well but they just seem like they are fighting so hard to get the throws and jumps done. They are loved and I think Hongbo is fighting for them as well.

No chance for gold, but depending on their ability to land the SBS (and how much of a mess the comp is overall) they could still end up on the podium.

 

[~tapdancer~]

Wow, so happy for E/M! Hard to get the proper applause cause it's in China and S/H are here, you know. They are just wonderful.

 

[Karen-W]

Only one fall deduction? I'd call the Th3S a second fall...

I thought it should have been also, but the TES tracker in real-time showed the tech panel was being generous in not calling it a fall.

Looking like they might pull out of the Olympics with those tears.

I think they should too, especially since she's clearly injured. A medal is going to be a real long shot and will require the Olympic pairs comp to be an epic mess.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Nice victory interview for Efi/Mit.

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

not here

 

[marbri]

Found myself distracted by Misha's hair during that interview? Hair plugs or toupee?

 

[her grace]

No chance for gold, but depending on their ability to land the SBS (and how much of a mess the comp is overall) they could still end up on the podium.

And how overscored they are

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

So no sneaky getting on Olympic team foir E/M?. What if Finland agrees to join the Trump`s Board of Peace?

[Vagabond]

Somewhere in the arena, Aleksander Korovin is cursing fate (again).
