2026 Olys Pairs FS PBP - Are We Not Entertained?

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Call me a party of one, but aside from the side by side jumps, I find that death spiral position one of the most interesting things.

 

[Citlali]

Are there are points taken off for his lift technique? Because otherwise what is the incentive for him to change this?

The crime is the positive GOE while I'm scared for Anastasiia's life

She is great and deserves that he improves his technique!!!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

The TES is giving second. Can't imagine it would be first.

That would still be Georgia's first ever winter Olympic medal.

 

[LilJen]

How does she not fear for her life in the lifts?

 

[peibeck]

So will they finally answer the phone?

I'm wondering if it's the judges calling, asking when the vodka arrives.

 

[marbri]

Wow Sandra Bezic (doing commentary on CBC) does not like the Georgian team AT ALL. Her commentary about them seems way over the top though. And clearly the judges don't agree with her.

I think she loves her, she doesn't love him...
eta.... I would go as far to say Sandra seems angry and worried about the danger she feels he puts her in and says the judges are blind to it ( and going by the GOE that is true).

 

[Moto Guzzi]

Who would have had C/H finishing in 7th place?

I didn't think they had a ghost of a chance.

 

[Lanie]

Louise thinks that they'll work on his feet in the lifts Why when they don't get called out on it?

 

[rfisher]

That should put the Georgians on the podium for at least bronze. That twist

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I think she loves her, she doesn't love him...

I think Bezic wants Anastasiia to get a new partner.

 

[Aussie Willy]

M/B: the positive GOE on these lifts is kinda crazy. Fast, but judges obviously not seeing his feet.

He puts his heel down and rockers from heel to toe as he is travelling. Not using his edges.

She’s a rockstar but I was terrified in that second lift.

Thought I was gonna puke.

So glad she is safe. Phew.

Knowing his feet are doing skary things, I have been watching her for bounces and instability. I don't see any. I am thinking she has adapted to his instability.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Awwww, they're happy

The Rungarians and GeoRgians both boring, so I don’t care.

 

[danafan]

Apparently this is the first ever winter olympic medal for Georgia.

 

[Colonel Green]

Boo! Boo!

 

[skategal]

Go Minnie!!

 

[Lanie]

c'mon miniki!

 

[Spikefan]

Sweet coach reaction.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Nervous. When did I become a fan of Hase/Volodin?

 

[miffy]

Coach forgot to send his mum a birthday card and then bursts into tears at the medal.

 

[Amy L]

Zakroev is crying more than the actual skaters over that medal.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Go Minerva and Nikita!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Are there are points taken off for his lift technique? Because otherwise what is the incentive for him to change this?

Ideally for the safety of his partner????

 

[rfisher]

Germany decides the final podium placement. Come on Nikita. Make me laugh, Buddy

And, no Met/Bru get 9s for their lifts.

Wow Sandra Bezic (doing commentary on CBC) does not like the Georgian team AT ALL. Her commentary about them seems way over the top though. And clearly the judges don't agree with her.

She complimented them on their twist and jumps. Kurt on at least one other element. Sandra also mentioned the judges don’t agree with her.

 

[Skaterbob]

I didn't think they had a ghost of a chance.

Haha I would have had them 6th over the Italians!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Sweet coach reaction.

The coach holding up a tablet saying "happy birthday, mom" while they were about to get their scores was very cringe, NGL.
