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

[MacMadame]

Naumov and Torg both skating good SPs?

I know. Now I'm worried for Ilia. (Not really but still...)

 

[slicekw]

I love when good Torgashev shows up. This footwork sequence is great when he lets go. Most enjoyable skate yet tonight!

 

[Spikefan]

Raf smiling, ready to bro out with his bros (didn’t get that with his other skaters).

 

[Kateri]

Fabulous from Torgy!

 

[thvu]

Torgashev’s step sequence.

 

[Jammers]

If that doesn't lead we riot.

Clean. Good is a stretch for one of them.

 

[canbelto]

[NinjaTurtles]

A very strong skate for Andrew, reminiscent of his short program at Worlds last year.

Q 88.94 = 1st Place

 

[Braulio]

Torgashev! Andiamoooo!

 

[Wyliefan]

Raf: "Is it cool? Is it cool?"

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

A good skate from Torgashov, but wow, there's so little excitement about his skating. Excellent everything, just boring as hell.

I still think Naumov should be higher.

 

[Lara]

Wow. Good for Torgashev!

 

[JoannaLouise]

If he hadn't done the 1t, would the triple have counted? Without the 1t, it would have been a solo jump.

Without the 1t, I think the triple would have counted as +COMBO, so 70% (?) of base value. With the 1t, he at least gets full credit for the triple, even though he gets nothing for the 1t.

Or at least I think that's how it goes.

 

[SlavicaK]

Andrew! And this is why I love his skating.

 

[kemc]

LOL @ Kurt’s description of Torgashev - same strong and stiff jumping style as Brian Joubert

 

[miffy]

Well done Torgy, I wasn't expecting that!

 

[Rob]

Good Torgy came to play!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I know. Now I'm worried for Ilia. (Not really but still...)

I did have that thought lol.

 

[Lizziebeth]

Torgy skating like it is US nationals and he's trying to make the Olympic team!!

 

[Karen-W]

Raf in the KnC is so hilarious!

 

[dupa]

Holy Moly Torgy. Bring it! Wheee

 

[text_skate]

Wow, I completely underesimated USA#2 and#3. (Hadn't time to watch US championships). What a reaction from Torgy

 

[terisa]

I love Torgy! He's like your kid brother who's just cute enough to not be annoying.

 

[Habs]

Great skate but I’m not a fan.

 

[tangerine dream]

LOL @ Kurt’s description of Torgashev - same strong and stiff jumping style as Brian Joubert

Joubert could only dream of having Torg's skating skills.
