2026 Olys Pairs SP PBP - Veni, Vidi, Wedgie

[Colonel Green]

Ellie's fairy godmother really came through for her this month.

 

[overedge]

As a good I should like this performance by a Canadian of a song written by a Canadian. But I'm just so over it.

 

[beckab81]

Ellie's stood up on 3 throws in a row (yes, hand down, but she didn't fall!!!!)

 

[Wyliefan]

Not her worst throw. Just a hand down.

 

[Amy L]

This is a very strong field, isn't it? And it's without the Russians either.

Oh there's still plenty of Russians to go around.

 

[MacMadame]

Those SBS spins

 

[JoannaLouise]

I am amazed at how well Ellie has done with the jumps and throws this week!

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

After these Olympics I'll never talk smack on Ellie's throws again.

 

[allezfred]

Looks like hand down on the throw is the new falling on side by sides for the US pairs. I guess that’s progress.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Kam/O'Shea - Nicely done. A couple of small issues - hand down on throw and out of sync on spins, but they present really well.

 

[canbelto]

So Tara might think that Danny is a golden retriever ...

 

[Private Citizen]

I'll take that throw for Kam and O'Shea. The patron saint of throw jumps must be from Milan.

Of all the bad side-by-side spins we've seen, why did only that one go red? I feel like their spins were much more in sync than the Canadians' spins. Maybe it'll be a difference between a very slight positive and a very slight negative?

Ellie and Danny

 

[jamesy]

So Tara might think that Danny is a golden retriever ...

...and a support animal.

 

[PRlady]

I’ll be damned. That was very nice.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

CHILLS! I am SO proud of them!!!!

One of my friends who is in the room was amazed by how solid Danny looks on the lifts

 

[LilJen]

Good job, Kam/OShea!

 

[Finnice]

Go Deanna and Maxim!!! Just enjoy!!!

 

[Private Citizen]

Was her salcow rotated ?

I had a question mark, but it went immediately green so probably won't be reviewed?

 

[Karen-W]

KamO - 3tw - nice; SBS 3s - landed! Throw 3lo - hand down but stays up! SBS spins - crap unison; step seq - fine; lift - very good; BIDS - good.

Well, they survived! TES is a bit lower than ChanHowe but I expect that PCS from skating later will put them ahead here in the SP. Both American teams really acquitted themselves well today!

 

[tangerine dream]

Oh there's still plenty of Russians to go around.

Yeah, 5 of the 6 skaters on the Euros podium were Russian born.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I realize that G/A's program actually does have a point of view. And that point of view is "we're Italian."

Although its Spanish.

 

[Firedancer]

Ellie stayed on her feet for 2 programs in row!

 

[peibeck]

Ellie landing her jumps and throws two programs in a row? Is it end times??? But good for them.

 

[slicekw]

I never expected Danny to be skating with this expression on Olympic ice. Ellie really lifts him up as a skater.

Inner Dick is busting his buttons with the skates these two have put out so far.

 

[genevieve]

Wheeee!

Gorgeous program, hand down and sbs spins so mess it looked deliberate but I’ll take it!

 

[SlavicaK]

Anyone else missing Benoît of the many team jackets?

 

[Sally1214]

Ellie and Danny skating to k.d. lang .... doesn't get a whole lot better for me. I just love Danny's smile.

 

[Skaterbob]

Ellie landing her jumps and throws two programs in a row? Is it end times??? But good for them.

I thought the same thing but then the spins...
