2026 Olys Mens FS PBP - Habemus Pop-am

[MsZem]

I hope someone bet a lot of money on Shaidorov. This is NUTS.

 

[miffy]

Class act Ilia So much respect for him going and telling Mikhail he deserves it.

 

[MacMadame]

3 of my 5 guys are on the podium. Just not the 3 I expected.

 

[Jammers]

He should have just left out the 4axel after he missed that it was over he fell apart he didn't need it.

 

[ilovepaydays]

THIS is why some of us thought Ilia should have been selected for Beijing four years ago instead of Jason. He needed the Olympic experience.

 

[LilJen]

Did he really just say if he’d been sent in 2022 this would not have happened?

BS. He already skated three times on Olympic ice.

 

[umronnie]

OMG Shaidorov's reaction. Precious.

 

[Matryeshka]

I know this is awful but I have to laugh...Yuma was gonna get that silver by hook or by crook.

Now, go get that gold in Paris and for god's sake get the cameras off of him.

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

I wanted Shun Sato on the podium, but not like this.

I'm devastated for Ilia.

 

[rfisher]

Hard lesson to learn. No happy faces here. Off the podium and Shaidorov wins gold. He's shell shocked.

 

[Karen-W]

Hopefully this gives him purpose and won’t be too damaging to mental health. One of the worst collapses in history. Wish he had gone in 2022 to experience the pressure.

I've held a grudge against the USFS for 4 years and now... It's never going to be withdrawn.

 

[Spikefan]

Ohhh, so sweet. I’m crying, such a mix of emotions. Wild.

 

[Asli]

A repeat of Urmanov's Olympic gold in terms of it's being completely out of the blue!

 

[marbri]

Mikhail. Well done.

And also to Gogolov, you did Canadian skating proud tonight

 

[slicekw]

Shaidarov still not believing. He did have the skate of the night. I hope he thanks D10.

 

[tangerine dream]

This is just insanity. Ilia could have won with a clean 2 quad skate. I just have no words.

 

[Coco]

Sometimes I really hate the Olympics

 

[Icetalavista]

Classy congrats to Shaidorov. It was his disappointment talking when he said this wouldn't have happened if he'd been sent to Beijing. hope mom, dad, and Raf talk him away from that rabbit hole.

 

[Skaterbob]

Wow. @Karen-W please don't make any predictions about the ladies. LOL

 

[SlavicaK]

Urmanov has worked his ass off with Shaidorov along with support from Denis Ten's mother. I'm sorry for Adams's fans, but this bronze medal is a result of years of hard work. I'm so happy for them.

Not bronze. Gold.

 

[skatingguy]

Remarkably 2nd & 3rd were very predictable.

 

[MacMadame]

He's calling out the USFS for not sending him to Beijing 4 years ago. Good for him!

Oh my God. 8th overall.

He also shouldn't have done the FS in the TE. And that's on him at least some. (I'm sure USFS pressured him.)

 

[skategal]

5th for Gogo!!

Mikhail deserves it. He was brilliant with that crazy program.

Happy for Sato too.

 

[miffy]

Aww I'm teary, Yuma more excited for his friend than for himself!

 

[Desperado]

Ilia congratulating Mikhail - that's class.

Stephen Gogolev finishes 5th after 6 fantastic performances from the Nationals to tonight. Bravo!!

 

[Lilia A]

Devastated for Ilia.
Devastated for Yuma because I really wanted him to land everything and win it all.
Elated for Misha.
HAPPY TEARS FROM SHUN!!!

 

[MsZem]

What a result for Team Japan!

 

[barbk]

I'm thrilled that Shaidorov won!

 

[Wyliefan]

That was an absolute heartbreaker. I cannot believe it.

 

[Elisheba]

Yuma is congratulating Shun!
