2026 Olys Mens FS PBP - Habemus Pop-am

[peibeck]

Hope you put some money on it

Sadly, no.

 

[SlavicaK]

My results tab keeps crashing, no wonder.

 

[floridaice]

Might be enough for Bronze. I hope so

 

[ChelleC]

I feel like I'm watching Sochi all over again.

 

[Lanie]

Mr Lanie is bummed, he really likes Yuma

Poor guy

 

[aemeraldrainc]

Welp. Little behind on my stream but the men definitely men-ed today.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I'm not. I did say, though, that I thought Shun could beat Yuma for the silver medal. and I hope I'm right about it because this was a shitshow of a program from Yuma that doesn't deserve to beat Shun.

Right now his TES is 9 points behind Shun and he had like a 14 point lead from the SP, so I think he'll still get it, whether it feels good or not.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Browning is gutted.

Ilia tossing off a 4T while waiting for Yuma’s marks

 

[MacMadame]

does Sato end up on the podium instead?

I think so. His TES is so low, I don't think any amount of PCS inflation (which I am not expecting) could keep Yuma on the podium.

 

[alj5]

Oh Yuma.

 

[MsZem]

I'm guessing the SP cushion might keep Yuma on the podium? And then he can have a bronze just like his glorious coach.

 

[personwhoishere]

Best comment of the night!

An honor

 

[umronnie]

VincerNo

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

YUMA!!

 

[RoseAugust]

So sad. I can't help but think he should have skated to music that's more relaxing and fun. I know that's a stupid thought, but I'm thinking it anyway.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

That is that far ahead? Give me a break.

 

[Colonel Green]

Still on the podium; honestly, not sure I agree with that.

 

[Karen-W]

SP cushion gives Yuma the bronze, so we're looking at a repeat of last year's Worlds podium.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I think so. His TES is so low, I don't think any amount of PCS inflation (which I am not expecting) could keep Yuma on the podium.

Again, he had a 14 point lead after the SP.

 

[Private Citizen]

Worst men’s Olympic medal performance in decades

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Come on now Ice Prince let's do this.

[Lara]

This feels like 2014 Olympics, my most disliked men’s international event.

 

[Rob]

I’m so sad. It seemed he was so preoccupied by the mistakes that he couldn’t shine. But a medal? Oh that’s not right.

 

[slicekw]

Shaidarov is too shocked to even cry.

 

[Skaterbob]

Worst bronze medalist performance ever? Multiple falls in both programs. Judging system is broken.

 

[marbri]

So who had Gogolov 3rd in the free at the Olympics on their bingo card

 

[MsZem]

Only Mikhail came to play tonight.

 

[Marta24]

His great spins and step sequence saved Yuma today.
