2026 Olys Pairs FS PBP - Are We Not Entertained?

[kemc]

That was beautiful

 

[peibeck]

Honestly that was better from S/H than I expected, single sbs jumps notwithstanding. The program was nice, if rather slowly skated by their standards.

 

[BittyBug]

Sui and Han greatly exceeded my expections, but she looked like she was thinking through the whole program.

 

[Messalina]

I would like to send Sui/Han to a spa resort after this (or maybe to separate ones if so desired) for at least a month

 

[tangerine dream]

The only sense I can make out of this experience is if their her sole reason for coming back was wanting to have the Olympic experience again without the covid bubble and how she skated was absolutely irrelevant to her.

Otherwise it's just very confusing.

But they'll go into first.

They would have gotten that experience in 2018. Idk, I think Sui just really loves skating and Han is probably being paid well.

 

[Citlali]

I don't think that they could have done much more

Some things were done like the olympic champions they are

 

[CantALoop]

Sui’s dress makeup and hair seem to make her look about 45.

Which is a bit ironic considering all the speculation and documentation inconsistencies about her real age and if she was really old enough to compete when Sui/Han first appeared on the junior world scene.

 

[ks1227]

Okay, I am suddenly very, very nervous for Miura and Kihara.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Tara is trying to sell us on this being an incredible performance. I don't know why.

 

[MacMadame]

That’s why I was wondering this can’t be a Lori program.

I think Sui choreographed it.

They would have gotten that experience in 2018. Idk, I think Sui just really loves skating and Han is being paid well.

That's why I said again.

 

[PRlady]

That score seems high. And Sui and Han look older than Deanna. I just feel sorry for them.

 

[Skaterbob]

I'm happy they are happy in the K&C. This seems like a much less stressful Olympics for them than either of the past two.

 

[beckab81]

Better performance than I expected based on 4CC, but the magic wasn't there today. I wish she could teach Ellie her throw technique.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Bocelliator

 

[Theatregirl1122]

So Sui and Han are sitting in the leaders chair going into the top 5.

 

[canbelto]

Wow another Gladiator program. So original.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I wish people wouldn't remind me that this was Gladiator. They've used none of the music I want to hear from Gladiator.

 

[kemc]

 

[Amy L]

God I'm gonna be a wreck for the next 4 minutes.

 

[Wyliefan]

I suppose someday I'll have to watch Gladiator just to have a frame of reference for skating programs.

 

[millyskate]

So angry at Polish Eurosport not showing figure skating

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I'm really sitting here in "I just want everyone to do their best and be happy" mode.

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh, this crowd is SO with them!

[kemc]
