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

[skategal]

Ok maddie and evan....go clean.

 

[Desperado]

I've loved it.

The judges are going to ruin this G/P moment, aren't they?

They didn't!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Wait a second when did this Cape/skirt become red?

 

[personwhoishere]

Honestly I'd be ok with ending the competition here...

But then C/B will never leave...

 

[Wyliefan]

Not me willing Evan through his twizzles.

 

[Smiley0884]

OMG Piper and Paul were stunning! I loved their K&C reaction…they freaking crushed it

 

[Rob]

That was for you, Quartz!!

Quartz made it happen!

 

[Jay42]

I'm so glad I made sure I would have today off work to watch this. I'd have been so upset if I had missed Piper & Paul getting a medal.

 

[miffy]

Ooh the skirt looks shimmery! This isn't the same one is it?! It doesn't look as distracting or in the way.

 

[MsZem]

Chock's skirts resembles nothing so much as a billowing curtain. The von Trapps would have worn it better.

(I've now used billowing twice in one thread )

 

[ChelleC]

Not me willing Evan through his twizzles.

I'm atbwork. Refreshing this thread like crazy. I need to know Evan is through the twizzles.

 

[Jay42]

Maddie's skirt only makes me slightly less nervous than Katerina Mrazek's.

 

[overedge]

Does Evan have new sleeves?

I think so.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I’m kind of enjoying watching this without any commentary.

 

[Wyliefan]

Yes!

 

[canbelto]

That was really well skated.

 

[Aussie Willy]

C&B - excellent skating. But it is missing the heart of Piper and Paul.

 

[Braulio]

The best they could have skated!

 

[Aceon6]

Clean. I still don’t care for the program, but I can’t argue with it being clean and having difficulty.

Best performance to date of this program. The skating was slow in places, but the performance used all the aspects of the music to fullest.

RD: 89.72 = 2nd Place
FD: 134.67 = 1st Place
Total: 224.39 = 1st Place

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, wow. That was spellbinding once more. I better see gold around their necks again when this is all said and done.

 

[overedge]

No diss on Madi and Evan, but that felt kind of flat after Piper and Paul.

 

[beckab81]

Yes, Maddie & Evan!!! We can end the competition right here & it will be what we all expected a little over a year ago!

 

[slicekw]

That’s the most into a skate I think I’ve ever seen from Evan. Loving this final group!

 

[skipaway]

Outstanding! So happy for them.

 

[MacMadame]

another skirt?

I think his shirt is new too?

That was also amazing. Best I've seen them skate this

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

For all it's worth, this was the best C/B skated ever as well. I didn't like it, but compared to some of their other results, this is not as outrageous. I still don't think it's an OGM worthy performance, but compared to their usual selves it was faster and covered more ice

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Oooh, close. Can the French do better than Euros?

 

[tangerine dream]

And they are officially Canada's third-ever Olympic dance medalist team.

I'm now definitely not expecting to see them at Worlds.

Well if for some reason F-B/C and C/B both pull out of worlds I suspect they'll be there for a good chance at the title.

 

[Rob]

C&B - excellent skating. But it is missing the heart of Piper and Paul.

Yes it’s just not a heart felt program, I didn’t like it for an Olympic year.
