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

[Jay42]

Eeek, my Gem feed died again and I managed to get the tv turned on just as Lilah was stumbling on her twizzles

Yeah I was running out to grab one of my parents tablets because they have the Telus TV app there and then it came back right in time for me to see Lilah's twizzle go wrong

 

[once_upon]

Lilah and Lewis seem more subdued and not as crisp

 

[Coco]

Please stop jinxing remaining teams!

 

[Wyliefan]

Dangit. I love this program so much, and I wanted them to slay with it.

 

[miffy]

OH MY! sorry but I want any help for Piper and Paul!

I think we've all been there at times...

 

[peibeck]

Lilah doesn't want a medal :/

More like wanted it too much and nerves got the better of her.

Lots of little synch issues today as well.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Really yipped themselves off the podium here.

 

[Aussie Willy]

F&G's program has the longest ending in skating program history. Ooo they had a couple of issues.

 

[Habs]

That should drop them like a rock… but will it?

 

[skatingguy]

Lilah Fear/Lewis Gibson
Coach: R. Haguenauer, P. Lauzon, M.F. Dubreuil
Music: The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond

Stationary Lift 4 (3 after review) + Rotational Lift 4 (3 after review)
Synchronized Twizzles W:2 M:4 (W:3 M:4 after review) - Lilah with rotation issues on the 2nd twizzle
Midline Step Sequence W:3 M:3
Curve Lift 4
One Foot Turns W:2 M:2
Dance Spin 4
Choreographic Character Step Sequence
Choreographic Dance Lift
Choreographic Spinning Movement

Lilah's twizzles have caused problems over the years from time to time, and the mistake this time is probably enough to cost them the bronze medal.

RD: 85.47 = 4th Place
FD: 118.85 = 9th Place
Total: 204.32 = 4th Place

 

[Private Citizen]

Twizzle disaster . She had no speed going into that second set. Will drop. By how much we’ll see. Maybe behind Z&K in the free.

 

[Elisheba]

Well she didn't let her head drop but that won't set the cat amongst the pigeons.

 

[Jay42]

I'm kind of glad that Carol is trying to talk Brenda down from jinxing Piper and Paul because I am also incredibly nervous about Piper and Paul and what's going to happen next.

 

[Colonel Green]

Well, Piper and Paul, it's all on you now. They put it on a platter for you.

 

[YourBorneo]

Should go behind Z/K

 

[JoannaLouise]

Ok, so this is coming down to a twizzle contest. I think GilPoi have the fewest biffs this season.

But one very major one though. Wasn't their Level 1 twizzle part of the judging controversy at Finlandia?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

TES well shy of Gui/Fab

 

[floridaice]

Ok, so this is coming down to a twizzle contest. I think GilPoi have the fewest biffs this season.

don't tempt the twizzles gods!

 

[kedrin]

My Scottish heart is broken.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

That was a very different party.

 

[Citlali]

Lilah messing the twizzles again

 

[overedge]

I've always felt that this team will be fantastically entertaining show skaters, and beyond that I've never understood why they get the marks they do. But it's always sad to see a biff on an element at the Olympics

 

[MsZem]

Cursed for not wearing a kilt.

It would have been so awesome.

No, Simon, they can't possibly get on the podium here!

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

This is a program that I feel like I like the idea of more than I like the actual program.

As someone who did highland dancing as a kid, I feel like F&G's music choices didn't totally hit the mark. Also, I would have loved it if they'd snuck some Belle and Sebastian in the program somewhere.

 

[Bunny Hop]

They finished strong, but that won't be enough.

I know I want Gilles & Poirier in third, but I didn't want it like this.

 

[slicekw]

Ok, we were talking about Dick earlier. He was whispering to me about Lilah’s position in the couple spin.

Dick: You can see the great turnout of her hip in that layback position as he supports her, but I think the bent knee could be prettier.
Peggy: Their costumes are lovely with this Scottish music.

 

[Karen-W]

Twizzle disaster . She had no speed going into that second set. Will drop. By how much we’ll see. Maybe behind Z&K in the free.

TES is below CarPon, the Finns & DavSmo right now. They have enough of a lead that they won't drop behind those teams or LajLag, I don't think, but I think they could wind up behind ZingKol, ReedAmbru and maybe LopBri.

 

[Lara]

I wouldn't assume there will be no further mistakes.

Seriously, I hope this group isn’t cursed. These Olys have been really relatively stress-free for me until now.

 

[miffy]

I think that will drop behind the top 3 currently (in the free) at least. But I think it's one of those situations where if they aren't 3rd they won't care that much. Sinead Kerr once said that to me; that if they dropped out of the medals she didn't care if she was 4th, 5th, etc.

I'm kind of glad that Carol is trying to talk Brenda down from jinxing Piper and Paul because I am also incredibly nervous about Piper and Paul and what's going to happen next.

It's probably a blessing that GEM crapped out on me and forced me to switch to NBC. Carol would most likely make me a nervous wreck now too.
