2026 Olys Pairs SP PBP - Veni, Vidi, Wedgie

[floridaice]

Oh Max

 

[allezfred]

The lift!

 

[ilovepaydays]

Well, my blood pressure just dropped by half.

Well, actually now just a little bit.

 

[Colonel Green]

Damn, so close to great.

 

[ryanj07]

Oh no! Ugh... I hope they still make the free

 

[Private Citizen]

Deanna Stellato is an Olympian

I miss the backflip, but I'm probably the only one.

SBS were a mile apart, out of sync, and with a hand down and messy exit from him. Should be in -3/4 or possibly even -5 territory. I was just about to post that they could still go into the lead on the overall quality of everything else, and then that lift exit OMG.

Well, she's an Olympian and she'll make the free skate. :/

 

[Citlali]

Nooooo

 

[Firedancer]

Oh no! So happy they made here

 

[slicekw]

Oh he tripped her / too close to the boards?

 

[CassAgain]

I don't usually say anything about scoring as it all works out, but some teams are getting a lot of breaks that others are not. Just be fair to everybody!

Gold medal = PCS boost.

Deanna nooooooooo!

 

[my little pony]

**** we were so close!
also what is this cross body belt he wears, it looks like one of those things for bullets

 

[PeterG]

I'm gonna puke

I'll hold your hair.

 

[skategal]

That was going so well…..urgh.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Stellato/Deschamps - I hope she is actually okay and not pushing through something she shouldn't be pushing through.

Oh crap! It was going so well. I was just preparing to let go of the breath I was holding. Belinda saying fall may not have been on an element unless Tech Panel decide it was on the landing of the lift.

 

[MsZem]

Deanna Stellato is an Olympian

I bow down to what she's accomplished, even with the tentative skating and that wacky fall.

 

[Aussie Willy]

Whoa that was unexpected.

Loved their StSq.

 

[Skaterbob]

The was best timing to the music fall I have ever seen. I literally screamed out loud "no" and woke up the dogs.

 

[Finnice]

Ouch.....No medal. But goid to have them here.

 

[MacMadame]

He tripped her!! WTF?!

 

[Karen-W]

SDDes - 3tw - very nice; SBS 3t - hand down and spin-out on the exit from him; throw 3lo - fine; SBS spins - kind of slow & far apart but decent unison; step seq - Johnny didn't get the memo that there isn't a backflip in the SP? Lift - OMG! Deanna fell on the exit - they were super close to the boards and it looked like she clipped her heel; BIDS - fine. She looks devastated at that, and understandably so.

They'll certainly make the FS as they deserve very high PCS, but that is going to definitely put them in the 2nd group for the FS.

ETA - nope, they'll be in the 1st group for the FS.

Deanna Stellato-Dudek/Maxime Deschamps
Coach: J. Picard, S. Winter, S. Yvars
Music: Carmina Burana by Carl Orff

Triple Twist 4
3T - Max with a hand down, step out
Throw 3Lo
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Step Sequence 3
Reverse Lasso Lift 4 - fall on the dismount
Back Inside Death Spiral 3

Max's side-by-side jumps continue to be sketchy, and then a freak fall on the lift dismount.

-1.00 = Falls
Q SP: 66.04 = 10th Place

 

[Lara]

Oh you’re kidding me!!!

But they skated and that’s what counts, hope she’s just startled and didn’t get hurt more.

 

[overedge]

Just being here is an accomplishment. It's a cliche but it's true.

 

[Sally1214]

Oh my ...... it was going so well. Deanna was skating so very solidly up until that moment.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Those boards have been so close to everyone all week. Is the practice ice bigger or something?

ETA not the boards! But still and I wonder if she was too close to him because she sensed them.

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

Did Max trip her on that exit???

 

[tangerine dream]

It looked like Deanna was considering a Babs-esque death stare there for a moment.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Uggggh that was so close to perfect, and they did all the hard stuff.

 

[dupa]

Freakln' 40 years old. I wanna be her

 

[Theatregirl1122]

OMG into the free. Thank you, PCS gods.
