2026 Olys Mens FS PBP - Habemus Pop-am

[Spikefan]

Blah but great job Shaidorov!

 

[Matryeshka]

Well, at least it's not silver again?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

So will we see a quad axel? Probably not…

 

[floridaice]

Poor Yuma. His face looks like he's aged 10 years.

 

[Citlali]

Holds to a medal

Mikhail

 

[Kruss]

Oh boy, here go my nerves...

 

[Colonel Green]

Worst men’s Olympic medal performance in decades

Probably since Torino, fittingly enough.

 

[peibeck]

Love Yuma but... wuzgifted.

 

[MsZem]

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

Dude, did you even watch Torino? Sochi? I mean Denis was great but the event was a debacle.

 

[rfisher]

Well he stayed on the podium and Shaidorov wins silver! Malinin only needs 50 points below his season best for gold.

And, he's doing his best to give it away. Come on boy don't be stupid. It's Sochi redux. Unbelievable.

 

[Desperado]

Ilia looking super stressed.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Yuma's free skate didn't deserve a medal, but neither did Shun's short program. If others who were great in the short had been great in the long, Yuma would have lost the medal.

I suppose that is just how the cookie crumbles.

 

[Aceon6]

Ok, Ilia, swish the first jump, puleeze!

 

[Sally1214]

Well, today, everythng about Yuma was sad to watch.

 

[slicekw]

Ilia with the weight of the world and knowing the ice is cursed.

 

[itsartemis]

Malinin does not need to do seven quads, that's for sure.

 

[MacMadame]

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.

This is why I questioned if it was possible for the top three to fall off the medal stand. So far only Adam managed.

 

[my little pony]

maybe this voice over should have been done in italian for the games and also to sound less ridiculous

 

[Wyliefan]

THIS ICE IS CURSED

 

[Private Citizen]

Even ilia. Friday the 13th indeed. Is Shaidorov going to win?

 

[Rob]

Omg we are cursed.

 

[allezfred]

Thread title prophetic for Malinin’s quad axel.

 

[ilovesalchows]

OMG what did they do to this ice?

 

[MsZem]

WTF is Ilia cosplaying Tomas Verner circa 2008??

 

[Lanie]

wtf

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

WTF is going on?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

WTFFFFFFFFFFFF Since when does Ilia POP????

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

What is going on? Is Mikhail going to be the champion?

 

[Colonel Green]

Oh my...

 

[parisvalia]

Jeez, watching all that must have put malinin on tenterhooks
