2026 Olys Mens SP PBP - A Minion Ways to Dies (Irae)

[Karen-W]

Beautiful skate from Max. Had to really grind out a telegraphed triple axel but he delivered. Beautiful program and positions. If there’s any justice in the world he should beat Petr, but there probably isn’t.

Agree, but he just beat his SB by a good 7 points, so I can't complain that much.

 

[my little pony]

im so pleased he's pleased

Got GEM finally up and working just in time to see Max. What an emotional way to start off the men's Olympic SP. Good for him. Wow, going to take a minute to settle in after that.

 

[Allen]

85 is a nice score.

 

[mtnskater]

OMG I’m balling!!! Max so beautiful. My favorite short program of all….his spin positions are everything.

 

[Braulio]

85.65

Max should get extra points for skating to Chopin.

Really great to see him skate clean, and quite emotional at the end!

Sexy Nordeback

I just remembered that it was 30 years ago this month that I had the pleasure of seeing Shiskova and Naumov skate live.

 

[tangerine dream]

Not sure I agree with Gumennik over Naumov on PCS.

 

[ilovepaydays]

Good Lord. We’re in the mid 80s already?

What’s Ilia going to score if he’s clean? 125?

 

[Asli]

: He brought his parents to the Olympics.

In all fairness, these first two men had 1-2 quads and did not fall.

So much commentary regarding music rights. And lack thereof.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK fine I’ll stay through the minions but then I must get to the gym.

 

[beckab81]

Oh no.....

 

[JoannaLouise]

Oh nooooo Andreas!

 

[Private Citizen]

1lutz2toe and we have our first non-qualifier I’m guessing.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I actually like Nordeback. Nice flow, interesting positions and choreo. Got sick of the music after a minute

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh nooooo Andreas!

What? I was typing, what did I miss?

 

[skoppa]

I do not know how much more of Daniel Weiß commentating I can take. Is there no pirate stream somewhere for desperate people?

Try the Icelandic one they know skating (not Ice dance) but the life and reality of skaters are sooo wrong that I want to call them and rant (but I am doing it here instead) But hey at least I get skating on the TV.

 

[Asli]

Not sure I agree with Gumennik over Naumov on PCS.

Gumennik's PCS being above Naumov's is totally ridiculous and I'm not gonna say "IMHO".

 

[slicekw]

Nordeback nonchalantly skating past the judges doing the “shush” gesture.
Nordeback blowing his combo.

 

[Lanie]

The gal at ticketing said there are no more seats but I walked past again and she was giving new seats to someone else

 

[ChelleC]

Poor Nordeback.

 

[Hedwig]

do you have a link?

 

[Karen-W]

Ugh, Andreas... botching the combo isn't what we needed from you today! Sweden needs to make history by having skaters/teams in two different disciplines qualify for the FS/FD at these Olympics!

Andreas Nordeback
Coach: M. Joseph, C. Batian
Music: Still Got the Blues by Gary Moore

3A
3F!
Flying Camel Spin 4
1Lz*+2T - first jump is invalid
Change Foot Sit Spin 4
Step Sequence 4 (3 after review)
Change Foot Combo Spin 4

Missing the combination all but guarantees that Andreas will not advance to the free skate.

67.15 = 3rd Place

 

[Braulio]

sorry but after Maxim this feels flat

Skating while AIN.
