2026 Olys Free Dance PBP - Whale, Are We Ready For Some Bull Sheet Scores?

[text_skate]

The German commentator former ice dancer Kati Winkler about LaLa: On a technical level I would see them slightly above Tim and Olivia

I think she should see, that they are a lot better on a technical level like edges

 

[Colonel Green]

I kind of wish if they were bringing back a program they'd have brought back "Roses", but good skate. These two have had so many little injury problems over the past four years, I hope the next quadrennial is a lot better for them in that regard.

 

[Lara]

Please please please let them fulfill all their potential next quad.

I really do like the program but do wish it could have been Roses if not Bach (will always wonder what it might have been).

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

What if someone performed to The Crow soundtrack, though? Wouldn't that be awesome?

Yes!

 

[overedge]

And we're into the top tier skaters at I.AM, with both Marie-France and Patrice at rinkside!!

 

[peibeck]

Behind the Spanish team in TES before reviews doesn't bode well for LaLa hanging on to even 9th. (((Grumpy Cat and Margo)

Corvids be bad.

Don't be like this

There should be a concept program about a murder of crows.

 

[Wyliefan]

Is that the first glimpse we've had of the leaders' chairs?

I used to love Winkler & Lohse. Nice that she is commentating.

They could use Anne Bishop's Crowgard for inspiration.

 

[Hanna]

The opening stationary lift

 

[Smiley0884]

Controversial take: I love the mood, the character, and the highlight moves, but there is barely a dance hold in the program and it’s verrrrry slow in places. I’d have it below C&P and probably even lower.

Agree, but Olivia is so spellbinding I hardly notice any technical or choreo simplicity in their programs. She has IT in spades. Hopefully they can beef up the technical aspects of their programs next season because they are fabulous.

 

[text_skate]

I love this Björk program s much

 

[overedge]

Dip-dye and Edward Scissorhand skirt? Leftovers from the 90s RD costumes?

 

[Debbie S]

For those in the arena, most ladies' rooms are now out of toilet paper.

 

[text_skate]

On a side note: Björk was extremely popular in the nineties. Is there a RD this year?

 

[Jay42]

I know it's a completely different vibe musically but I have to say considering how often Bjork's song It's Oh So Quiet shows up in figure skating I am very glad LopBri didn't choose that song. It's nice to see someone skate to some of her other music.

I assume not meeting BPM requirements

 

[MsZem]

I just love Lopareva and Brissaud. Always doing something cool, and doing it so well.

 

[Kaz7714]

I love L&B , that is all.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

In my book L/B are better than Olivia/Tim, but what do I know

 

[overedge]

That was an excellent music choice, but IMO the program itself was kind of boring.

 

[peibeck]

Not a Bjork fan but these two are a thousand times more interesting and just as talented as the team their fed dumped them for.

 

[Augusztus]

Lopareva

 

[Private Citizen]

Again contrarian but don’t love L&B’s free nearly as much as their RD. Didn’t have either the bold highlight moves like S&D or the intricate blade work and holds of L&L.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Carol Lane doesn't "get" Lop/Bri's program

 

[Kateri]

Love L/B, love Bjork, but this dance still feels like a missed opportunity. I wish they'd gone back to their femdom programme that went mini-viral last year.

 

[Sarah]

Love L/B!

 

[tony]

Definitely better across the elements than Olivia and Tim.. but the latter once again created a moment with some really stand-out elements.
