2026 Olys Team Event PBP Day 1 - There Is An I(AM) in Team

[Spikefan]

There are so many empty seats, I don’t remember if it was the same in 2018 for TE.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Must be such a strange experience to be in the team event but not the individual.

 

[Hanna]

Aww coaches in tears

Amazing reaction, did they get Worlds minimums or something?

I bet it's the same for anything before the opening ceremonies.

 

[Elisheba]

Now for the only rhythm dance this season I actually enjoy.

 

[Finnice]

Doval tore her net stockings...

For them, I doubt they care. Same for Edward Appleby. Probably thrilled to get the experience!

For the Japanese dancers, I'm sure it's strange seeing they are en route to either a gold or silver medal most likely.

 

[Karen-W]

New costumes for YoMori? They don't particularly scream '90s to me, even if they're pretty.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I feel like this dress is referencing something that I'm not familiar with.

I think it's 90s. Not so sure about his.

 

[Hanna]

Also all of you who are up at ungodly hours: now you know what it was like for me in both 2018 AND 2022, thanks to NBC. IT'S YOUR TIME TO SUFFER!

The lower-placed athletes being overwhelmed with happiness because they have done their best is one of my favorite parts of the Olympics.

I'm not sure the times in 2018 were thanks to NBC. Those events were at like 2am in the eastern US.

The world feed is showing the tracker with GOE and red/yellow/green boxes

 

[Lizziebeth]

camera work on my feed spends a lot of time on their faces. Show their feet!

 

[MacMadame]

That's a lot of reviews.

 

[Finnice]

Kaori on the stands!

 

[skatingguy]

Utana Yoshida/Masaya Morita
Coach: C. Reed, S. Moir, M. Hubbell, A. Diaz
Music: Stomp to My Beat, Butterfly, Stomp to My Beat

Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:4
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 3 (2 after review)
Midline Step Sequence W:2 M:1 (W:1 M:1 after review)
Rotational Lift 4
Choreographic Rhythm Sequence

They've done their job - stayed on their feet, and skated well to give Japan the best chance they can for the Gold.

68.64 = 1st Place

 

[Theatregirl1122]

The check mark doesn't show when the review is completed, but it would be cool if it did.

 

[thvu]

Yoshida & Morita overperformed. That was great, so fast, so smooth between the elements. Only awkward part was the rotational lift into the Choreo Steps. They did more than their part for Team Japan.

 

[skipaway]

Another bonus is no commercials in between. But, the feed is about 10 sec behind

 

[leilaofpaper]

the japanese got chacked on the aussie broadcast for curling

 

[Theatregirl1122]

The scores here are gonna make it look silly that Wang/Liu have an individual event spot and Yoshida/Morita don't.

 

[Firedancer]

NBC just recapped the background for FB/C

 

[Spikefan]

Yuma crying happy tears, how sweet.

If you're watching the Venue Feed, there are definitely going to be short commercials thrown in randomly. It's the disclaimer on Peacock for every Olympics.

Yeah I think you're right that some of them were. But a few events NBC definitely did buy for their prime time also in 2018 because I remember vividly waking up at 3am several times.

The Japanese RD one of the better RDs this year.

 

[leilaofpaper]

oh wait they’re showing them now

 

[NinjaTurtles]

At least their TES is ISU minimum even if they’re not doing the individual

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Guillaume skating a bit tight and nervous, IMO. Shaky step in the midline and second set of twizzles.
