2026 Olys Pairs SP PBP - Veni, Vidi, Wedgie

[Habs]

I love Conti & Macii but they look really slow and everything is a little rough.

 

[dupa]

Ah, cool, look, it's two guys with the same technical score in the LP

OH My GAWD, PML for a really long time

 

[Private Citizen]

Uggggggggh, I do not like the TES for Conti and Macii. Sara's salchow . They may have dug themselves a big hole.

 

[millyskate]

The Brits still have the best sbs spin to date...

 

[tony]

Matteo Zanni made a masterpiece with this choreography. So so so so so good, so intricate and so FRESH. Best composition by a mile so far, best presentation too.

 

[Colonel Green]

About five points behind Lia & Trennt in TES pre-review. Even with medalist/home PCS that might be a challenge.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I am so tired of Tara and Johnny...have they been instructed to call every single program as if a complete skating newbie just turned the channel to watch it for the first time?

Presumably yes because that is what they expect during the Olympics.

 

[Aussie Willy]

I love how Sara comes out of the throw and then changes edge.

"You can follow along with the scorebox in the left corner."

Oh, thanks, I was going to just watch the logo in the right corner.

 

[overedge]

Dude with the flamenco jacket seems to think this is Rugby Sevens.

ETA: Never mind, just found out that's her boyfriend. He gets a pass.

Sara Conti/Niccolo Macii
Coach: B Luoni
Music: The Wild Bull, Concerto de Espana

Triple Twist 4
Throw 3Lo - off-axis, but landed perfectly
3S - Sara stepped out
Reverse Lasso Lift 3
Step Sequence 3
Back Inside Death Spiral 3
Change Foot Combo Spin 3

This starts to get interesting going to the free skate as the top contenders are making mistakes, and risk missing the final flight of the free skate.

Q SP: 71.70 = 6th Place

 

[beckab81]

Nooooo, I wanted Sara & Nicolo to get bronze at their home olympics! This won't even make the final group

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

That whole program was just rough for the Italians.

 

[Allen]

Tim Dietz in the matador costume just made my day!

 

[skategal]

Lia and Trent top 4?

 

[peibeck]

C/M a bit cautious. The lift really looked really slow. Positive GOE on that last spin??? Hmmmmkay.

 

[allezfred]

Tim Dieck wearing a matador costume for his girlfriend is real commitment.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Uggggggggh, I do not like the TES for Conti and Macii. Sara's salchow . They may have dug themselves a big hole.

Four level 3 elements are a huge issue if they hold.

 

[miffy]

Tim Dieck gets his moment

 

[Spikefan]

Tim’s outfit. That’s love.

 

[Karen-W]

ConMac - 3tw - nice; throw 3lo - sooooo solid; SBS 3s - turn out from her on that; lift - nice; step seq - really nice; BIDS - love his hand position in it; SBS spins - bit far apart & not 6the greatest of unison.

TES is low... Lower than HocKun... That could knock them out of the penultimate group if the judges don't PCS their score into the 70s.

 

[tangerine dream]

Lia and Trent top 4?

They gonna pull a Gogo?

 

[Bunny Hop]

Well darn. I was hoping for a clean program from Conti/Macii. They've really grown on me the last few years.

 

[Citlali]

Sara giving her best impression of a cat with that throw

Not their best skate of this program

 

[CantALoop]

I want to get a shock collar and shock Tara every time she calls GOE extra credit.

I’ll be right behind you with the water spray bottle “No bad Tara, bad!”

 

[ryanj07]

I was hoping the judges could home cook them ahead of the Georgians but those levels... they'll need help to even be in the final group

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Their TES is currently 10th highest.

 

[Asli]

Uggggggggh, I do not like the TES for Conti and Macii. Sara's salchow . They may have dug themselves a big hole.

On TV it looked like there was a panic that affected their timing going into their elements in the first half of the program.

[Amy L]

Lia and Trent top 4?

I think they should have beat GEO too.
