2026 Olys Pairs FS PBP - Are We Not Entertained?

[peibeck]

This iconic 70s music does wonders to hide some of their less polished elements but the choreography and timing were great, and they had a super skate.

 

[Messalina]

I love love love love love that they skated so well at the Olympics! (Other than that crawl lift and the fact that I was a little worried he would smack her against the ice at the end there)

Browning reminiscing about listening to this Meatloaf album as a kid.

I was doing the same thing!

 

[Sally1214]

WOW ... Annika and Robert had me clapping and cheering out loud. Now, THAT's entertainment!
I loved their costumes with the hearts on the backs. Has Annika EVER worn a unitard that wasn't gorgeous?

 

[kemc]

It's the hearts on their backs that bother me.

I think anything pretty much goes with Meatloaf

This song is from the 70s?

Ok, the 2nd pair to fulfill the thread title. If we get 3 more, I will be happy.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

He's getting his albums mixed up, it came out in 1993 and I don't think he was a kid then!

Hah, maybe he's pretending to be his 38-year-old wife's age.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Johnny must’ve been jilted by Robert or something. Because I’ve seen plenty of figure skaters that are stonefaced, my husband is not one of them.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

What is the deduction for? Over the time limit?

 

[LilJen]

Ondrej still looking HOT-arek.

 

[RoseAugust]

I get that Meatloaf music is fun, but how do you actually skate to it? They could have been skating to any other music. There was no connection until the very very end.

 

[miffy]

Simon half heartedly saying 'Hang on to your hats' just doesn't work. He needs Chris there

 

[MacMadame]

This song is from the 70s?

1993

Bat out of Hell II is, er, um, quite derivative of the first album, so I'm going to cut him some slack on this.

 

[slicekw]

Eek I thought they were going to Pamchenko at the end there

I’m living for the thought that one day someone will figure out the release physics and do it.

 

[delayedaxel]

OMG it’s Meatloaf at the Olympics - and it’s THAT song.

I like it tbh but due to the editing to press this in a shorter version the lyrics are kind of repetive.

 

[YourBorneo]

I wonder what Luca Lanotte would do for love these days…

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Do you think all of the Italian pairs team to retire after this, and for sure Lucrezia and Matteo?

 

[skategal]

Browning reminiscing about listening to this Meatloaf album as a kid.

Except that he would have been in his mid-late 20s when that album was released (1993).

 

[overedge]

@my little pony enough whickety-whack on the tops of these costumes?

 

[Elisheba]

I believe her real name was Perkova

I'm sorry. I will do 10 Freakin' Liashenkos to atone for my lapse in memory.

 

[Citlali]

Rebecca not even a 2sal

 

[MacMadame]

I am really noticing her leg wrap today.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Yikes, that was a heart-stopping lift. I can't believe they managed to save it!

 

[Aceon6]

Add this to the list of “could have been skating to anything.”

 

[Private Citizen]

Ghilardi and Ambrosini having the skate of their lives at home! Smart move to water down the content and focus on a clean program. Will probably drop them a place or two, but they have a lot to be proud of!

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Her and I used to chat it up all the time, there was one time at nationals or somewhere I even sent her a video of her Peacock performance they had just done so she could see where they were being dinged.

Yesssss!! Here’s our selfie we took
