2026 Olys Rhythm Dance PBP - Livin' La GOE Loca

[Hanna]

Paul eyeliner

 

[tangerine dream]

What do we think Lewis keeps in his chain wallet?

If we want to make it really authentic 90s then I'd say the chain is attached to his Tamagotchi.

 

[terisa]

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I always feel like I must be missing something because everyone else seems to love them. They would be my fridge break if I didn't already come prepared with snacks

You're far from the only one. I always seem to forget them, like "we have C/B, Z/K, and that other team..." They're just forgettable to me.

 

[LilJen]

I find the flaps on Paul’s top to be super distracting.

ETA: did he always do a double butt rub in the steps? Thought it had just been a single slap. Revised for more points?

 

[Colonel Green]

And here we go, the big show.

 

[Elisheba]

I am once again angry at the number of men skating to "I'm too sexy" while wearing shirts.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Paul is too sexy for his shirt, this is why he's not wearing any.

And, he's not too sexy for anything.

 

[Colonel Green]

I am once again angry at the number of men skating to "I'm too sexy" while wearing shirts.

Take it up with the ISU's costume rules.

 

[Desperado]

No mention that Carol Lane is G/P's coach, CBC?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Patterned step came in at Level 4, under review

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

As far as gay icons, G/P are not it.

 

[Skaterbob]

This is the dress she's been wearing all season.

For nationals and the team event she had blue detailing as far as I can tell. There is none today so back what she used in the gp series.

 

[Jay42]

No mention that Carol Lane is G/P's coach, CBC?

I don't know if they've ever actually mentioned it and she's been commentating them for years

ETA: Brenda did just call Carol Lane coach but that might be the closest to saying it I've heard.

 

[tangerine dream]

I am once again angry at the number of men skating to "I'm too sexy" while wearing shirts.

I'm waiting for a costume change where someone rips open their shirt when the music says "I'm too sexy for my shirt".

 

[ilovesalchows]

Wow! The best they have ever done that!

 

[skatingguy]

Piper Gilles/Paul Poirier
Coach: C. Lane, J. Razgulajevs, J. Lane
Music: Supermodel, I’m Too Sexy

Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:4
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 4
Midline Step Sequence W:3 M:3
Choreographic Rhythm Sequence
Rotational Lift 4

Stronger than the Team Event, but still something lacking in the sharpness of the program.

86.18 = 2nd Place

 

[CantALoop]

Show 'em your claws, Paul! Reowr!

 

[tony]

That was AMAZING

 

[Cachoo]

I enjoyed that.

 

[MacMadame]

Wow! The best they have ever done that!

I thought it was the worst! At least at the start.

 

[Wyliefan]

Well done!

 

[Habs]

Best performance of the season for Gilles & Poirier!

Paul Poirier is a gift to skating.

 

[Jay42]

That was so great I'm glad they were able to bring it today

 

[skategal]

Phew!! I think that’s the best G/P have skated the RD all season.

That’s all they can do.

It’s in the judges hands now.

 

[Sally1214]

Piper and Paul!! They were ON!

 

[Private Citizen]

They need to project like Krylova with this music and they don’t. I’m only in the 9th row but it seemed tame and evens little dull. Tech looked good to me with the caveat that the twizzles were opposite me.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

I thought Piper was going to lose her spot on her rocker in the twizzles, they kind of extra barreled into them today, but she kept it together.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Gilles/Poirier - Very careful through the twizzles for Piper - she was not going to risk a bad call on them. Not their usual spark - they are making sure of the elements, and that was likely a good idea.

Belinda says L4 for the Pattern type steps. That's great.

Fingers crossed this scores well.

 

[Citlali]

Piper and Paul

The best they have skated this program all season

 

[annie_mg]

Very well skated, but I feel like Z/K showed more power, more poise, even more precision.
