2026 Olys Pairs FS PBP - Are We Not Entertained?

[Karen-W]

And bronze it is. Not even close, TBH.

 

[Lanie]

Ugh I still wish it wasn't behind MetBeru who I just do. not. enjoy.

 

[Wyliefan]

Third. Well, at least it's a medal!

 

[slicekw]

3rd

 

[Wyliefan]

Get the camera off Georgia, I want to see Japan!

 

[Colonel Green]

Minerva, I can forgive a lot of things, but giving Berulava the Olympic silver is not one of them.

Happy for Riku & Ryuichi.

 

[Skaterbob]

Behind PCS of Georgia is bizarre.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Riku looks like she hasn't remotely realized it. She's in shock.

 

[rfisher]

Georgia silver and Germany bronze. Yes! This time it's happy silver medalists and pissed bronze.

Oh, and Japan. Not a fan of their skating, but I have no issues with their win.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Third. Disappointed smiles in the kiss and cry, but that's probably the best they could have expected. Glad they stayed on the podium.

Yay for team Japan!

 

[bardtoob]

Pair was interesting, heartbreaking, and satisfying all at once.

 

[CantALoop]

Strangely subdued reaction from Riku finding out the result - or is she just tired after all the adrenaline and excitement?

 

[Rob]

Riku looks like she hasn't remotely realized it. She's in shock.

I thought she was going to throw up! And he’s sobbing!

 

[slicekw]

Riku still looking stunned. Hard to tell if she or Shaidarov were more stunned.

Love that the German team came over to congratulate them!

 

[danafan]

Well I think a lot of people would have predicted this podium (maybe not in that order) but the competition sure brought the drama to get there.

 

[susieB129]

Minerva bowing to Riku and Riku shaking her head. I am a puddle.

 

[LilJen]

So much gel in Nikita's hair. The glare was making me think he had big bobby pins holding his hair back.

Yeah, it’s looking like one of you may need to help wash out all that dippity-do.

 

[Amy L]

Russgarians pewter again.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Minerva and Nikita big hugs and congratulations for Riku and Ryiuchi. Looks like a lovely moment between them.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Riku like disassociating; she must have really felt it was over after the SP

 

[YourBorneo]

OMG I’m crying because they’re all crying I hate this sport so much lol

 

[skipaway]

What a beautiful moment with Minerva and Riku!

 

[Jammers]

Riku looks like she's in denial.

 

[peibeck]

Well I guess we thank the tech panel for missing the Japanese two foot and ur errors tonight.

 

[Wyliefan]

Well I think a lot of people would have predicted this podium (maybe not in that order) but the competition sure brought the drama to get there.

It's the exact order I predicted, although I would have rather seen Germany in second!

Okay, now it's sinking in for the Japanese, bless them.

 

[CassAgain]

Who's crying? Not me. Incredible sportsmanship shown all around. I love our sport.

 

[CantALoop]

Need sunglasses for glare off of Nikita’s hair pomade.

It would be fun to test which reflects more light, Danny's smooth polished dome or Nikita's pomade - quick, someone with a laser pointer try to bounce it off them!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Strangely subdued reaction from Riku finding out the result - or is she just tired after all the adrenaline and excitement?

I think she just can't believe it.

 

[Aussie Willy]

R&R now feel they can celebrate

What great sportsmanship between the skaters.

 

[beckab81]

Ok, Luka is making me give him a little grace by how happy he is and how he's picking everyone up in celebration (including Nico?)
