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

[peibeck]

Well there are your very beautiful but dull champions.

 

[Braulio]

Well what can you say... congrats I guess and I think we wont see them again

 

[Aceon6]

Well, it looks like the whale won.

 

[Private Citizen]

Felt even slower and one more one note than usual today, and they skate almost none of the program in unison and even disguise their twizzle exits. I’d put it third but the judges have drunk the kool aid and that’s that.

 

[Aussie Willy]

Something feels off with their performance. Am I crazy here?

No. I felt he was a bit off and not over his skates. It looked a bit uncomfortable.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Beautiful skate from F-B/Cizeron. Complete contrast to Chock/Bates.

This will be interesting.

 

[overedge]

Something feels off with their performance. Am I crazy here?

Nope, I was thinking exactly the same time. This programs usually vibes and flows and it wasn't doing either.

 

[Andora]

Even with the (maybe?) Twizzle mistake, that was beautiful.

This is also true.

I wish ice dance wasn't so weirdly complicated this year.

Laurence Fournier Beaudry/Guillaume Cizeron
Coach: R. Haguenauer, M.F. Dubreuil, P. Lauzon
Music: The Whale (soundtrack)

Synchronized Twizzles W:4 M:4 (W:4 M:3 after review)
One Foot Turns W:3 M:4
Rotational Lift 4
Dance Spin 4
Curve Lift 4 + Curve Lift 4
Serpentine Step Sequence W:3 M:3
Choreographic Assisted Jump/Lifting Movement
Choreographic Character Step Sequence
Choreograph Dance Lift

Very close for the Olympic title but Fournier Beaudry/Cizeron take it. I think this decision is going to be debated for many years to come.

RD: 90.18 = 1st Place
FD: 135.64 = 1st Place
Total: 225.82 = 1st Place

Who cares if you biff your twizzle when you've already been anointed?

 

[slicekw]

That was a lovely tone poem. Everything else aside, Cizeron probably is the best ice dance male that’s ever skated.

 

[Spikefan]

DH says they were fastest so he liked it best (he is only here for final 5).

 

[once_upon]

So has THE GOD jumped over the boards yet planted big kisses

Yeah

So where is the rapist has he found the right corner to cheer

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Well what can you say... congrats I guess and I think we wont see them again

I hope so, but I don't know if we're that lucky.

 

[Perky Shae Lynn]

They just look more natural and fluid. I think the French are winning

 

[Skaterbob]

Felt even slower and one more one note than usual today, and they skate almost none of the program in unison and even disguise their twizzle exits. I’d put it third but the judges have drunk the kool aid and that’s that.

That is what I saw too. He was awkward multiple times in the program.

 

[Aussie Willy]

Hmm on the replay he seemed to come out of it early.

 

[Jay42]

I think Piper and Paul still have the skate of the night and will be the program to talk about after tonight is over no matter what happens with the French.

 

[Colonel Green]

Well what can you say... congrats I guess and I think we wont see them again

She's never won a World medal, I definitely expect to see them at Worlds this year.

 

[MsZem]

If you look just at the skating and discard the personal stuff, F-B/C are very obviously the superior team. The FD is mesmerizing.

But how does one discard the personal stuff?

 

[rfisher]

Lesson to whales: don't feck with sharp pointy things that matadors carry around unless you're going to stab them with them

 

[skategal]

Casual fan observance from my DH - Loved G/P and C/B. Hated LFB/C.

We will see who wins but my opinion is the Whale needs to be clean to sing.

 

[overedge]

I'm going to say it, but even when this team is ON and their performances are beautiful, I can't get behind them because of the history.

 

[Aceon6]

I hope so, but I don't know if we're that lucky.

I suspect the Fed will send them to Worlds, just for the spiteful spots.

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Yayyy four more years of ChoBat

 

[OrioleBeagle]

NO!!!!

 

[Andora]

If they win after a questionable twizzle the board (and actual skating universe) will explode. Nice knowing you all

Ulp.

Well, anyways. Congratulations to Piper & Paul!

 

[overedge]

Well, BOO.

 

[Aussie Willy]

We definitely need the last episode of Glitter and Gold.
