2026 Olys Pairs FS PBP - Are We Not Entertained?

[AYS]

Just watching Miura/Kihara's reaction is choking me up. She's so shocked. Beautifully done, so well deserved.

 

[Aceon6]

Bruno’s IT’S NOT OVER will ring in my ears.

 

[Amy L]

Everyone is just picking up Riku

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

What's it from me from the Olympics. I'm going to skip the ladiezzzzz.

That was quite an experience! Only weird that they decided not to have a men's event this time

 

[Bunny Hop]

Well, that ended up being a nail biter.

Ciao for now as I need to go do work. Will NOT be joining everyone at 4:45am tomorrow my time for the Women.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

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

They won by 9.5 points, so I don't think it mattered.

 

[beckab81]

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

They won by 10 points, wouldn't have made a difference.

 

[Matryeshka]

Well, FINALLY something works out right at these Olympics. I'm happy with all the medalists. I would have had it Japan 1, Rungarians 2nd, Goddess Minerva 3rd, Georgains 4th, but I feel like that's also a bias on my part. I'm good with podium as well.

I think Riku is in actual medical shock I mean, I'm almost in medical shock at how well Chan/How did.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

All three teams are being so adorable

 

[Theatregirl1122]

For those of you on peacock, please switch to the venue feed for the podium. They have not showed any podiums on NBC so far, not even when Americans medaled.

 

[miffy]

Nikita caught looking at wedgie data on his phone

 

[Aceon6]

And who had both US teams in the top 10? I sure didn’t.

 

[rfisher]

I may have to skip the women's event. I've been pleased with the podiums for three events. No way, it will happen with four.

 

[Citlali]

I wanted Minerva and Nikita to have the silver

Now Luka will have no pressure to improve

Also loving everyone reactions, Ryuichi is (I have the feeling that Riku has the patience of a saint) everyone hugging, a lot of smiling, good for everyone

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Nikita caught looking at wedgie data on his phone

He's one of us!

 

[LilJen]

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

Would docking them for that take off 10 points, though?

 

[annie_mg]

All I will say is I hope Metelkina stays around indeed for a gold medal one day! And maybe even with another partner that can do lifts without us holding our breath.

Her and Minvera were the most enjoyable women to watch by far.

I'm a tiny bit disappointed for the Germans because I think that if they had skated flawlessely the judges would have given it to them, but hey, you have to land those jumps.

 

[Amy L]

USA and GER got both pairs in the top 10.

Very apropos, a true Gladiator ending

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I'd much rather Minerva does.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Well, we were definitely entertained.

 

[jenny12]

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

So beautiful. I’m thrilled for Miura and Kihara bit bummed Hase and Volodin couldn’t hold it together for that performance for a silver. I like them way better than the Georgians.

 

[Sally1214]

OMG .... like Ryuichi, I just can't stop crying. I am SOOOO happy for them. Just ... no words.

And, give Bruno Marcotte a medal for the best coaching statement of these Olympics ..... "It's not over."

 

[terisa]

Everyone is just picking up Riku

when Berulava picked her up, he's like twice her height!

 

[Rob]

Berulava hugging Kihara, Kihara still sobbing!

 

[Aussie Willy]

Everyone is just picking up Riku

It is easy to do. She is so cute you just want to cuddle her.

 

[Wyliefan]

Highlights replay just showed Minerva's pop. Rude!

 

[Spikefan]

May my favorite woman be in 5th after tomorrow.

 

[Brooke]

The ending pose wedgie is kind of unfortunate.

 

[Amy L]

All I will say is I hope Metelkina stays around indeed for a gold medal one day! And maybe even with another partner that can do lifts without us holding our breath.

I think there are some mid level Russian dudes still around but Sikharulidze just started clamping down on country switching.
