2026 Olys Pairs FS PBP - Are We Not Entertained?

[kemc]

Brenda Irving re Lia and Trennt: They are skating with house money.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Five teams in contention for three medals. Who wins and who loses?

This is so Shakespearean, I love it!

 

[Bunny Hop]

This is not the final group I was expecting before the event.

 

[Amy L]

I figure I've gone this long without seeing it, I don't need to.

That's how I feel about The Greatest Showman. I watched LA LA Land because it was used in skating a lot and I hated it Never gonna get bamboozled by skaters again, they have bad taste in music anyways.

Mr Finnice found a bottle of German beer. I do not like beet. Bur a sip for Minerva ans our PSOTY !

Will mixing Czech and British beer together work in a pinch?

 

[Elisheba]

Now for just the dreariest music.

 

[LilJen]

I always always ALWAYS forget about the Hungarians. I couldn't for the life of me remember who the fourth pair in the final group is. I had to go look it up after envisioning a map of Europe in my head and still not landing on them.

Tough to remember when they’re not actually from Hungary. Ditto the “Georgians.”

 

[ilovepaydays]

NBC has been on the pairs FS for at least 20 minutes.

WAIT. WUT? Pairs figure skating airing in the on TWO channels at once??!!

 

[Amy L]

This is not the final group I was expecting before the event.

If this was the penultimate group and the other one was the last group it would have made a lot more sense.

Yeah, I've managed to resist watching Dune so far, but apparently it's good so I may cave at some point.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

The two little plastic straps needed to keep that dress over her boobs seem like a real risk...

 

[JoannaLouise]

Sandra calls the Hungarians an "elegant" pair, so I'm going to assume she never saw their Sex Bomb program from last season

Some of the music from The Greatest Showman is good... not the songs that skaters choose, though.

The movie is unnecessary.

 

[Colonel Green]

Is Amber in the audience, they're playing her song.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I'm sure it was at least a more elegant Sex Bomb than Plushy...

 

[my little pony]

oh jeezus this music, like an after school special about a bad teen breakup

 

[alj5]

The Hungarians are my favorite of the dual citizenship Russian pairs

Apparently she has managed to erase the memory of him in a multicolored bowling shirt. I have not been so lucky.

 

[LilJen]

Is Pavlova’s posture bad or am I imagining that?

 

[miffy]

The Hungarians are so consistent but are sometimes a little dull... they really are solid so I feel bad saying that. I hope they get some good programmes next year to really start challenging after retirements from other pairs.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Well least the sperm map isn't around to get anyone pregnant.

 

[ilovesalchows]

The Hungarians are really good. You all complain too much, not like there have been so many fab performances we can be picky.

That could very well be a bronze.

The pressure is really on the top 3 after the short program. A wonderful skate for Maria & Alexei.

SP: 73.87 = 4th Place
FS: 141.39 = 2nd Place
Total: 215.26 = 2nd Place

 

[flyingsit]

Getting it done I guess. But the most boring combo of music, choreography, and skating I have ever seen.

 

[Private Citizen]

Not much of a program, but technically perfect from P&S. Can't see how this program won't be on the podium.

 

[my little pony]

I dont know. all their blobs are green but it's frequently clunky and heavy.

 

[Amy L]

Clean but snoozy.

 

[beckab81]

Great skate for the Hungarians, should be a new PB for them!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

That was reallllly good. The only element that wasn't L4 was the BODS at L2.

Better go into second. Sui and Han ahead would be highway robbery.
