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

That map has to go. WTF?

 

[honey]

This jump map is entirely pointless as it doesn’t show the entirety of the path of the program. Please remove this.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Oh these ice coverage and tracing data graphics, inject these technologies and statistics straight into my veins.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I've run out of caffeine at a bad time.

 

[Karen-W]

This jump map graphic they have on the screen is a trip, lol.

Surely they’ll show the completed image at the end

Good start to the competition.

59.83 = 1st Place

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I feel like I'm watching a single celled organism with a long flagellum wind it's way across the bottom corner of the screen.

 

[honey]

This is likely just me problem, but this jump map is so incredibly painful for anyone who struggles with motion sensitivity. More things moving on the screen are not needed. I’m pleading skating gods. Take this away.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Or maybe not

Its utility is lost without it sadly. And they really should have it for dance.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, apart from the wonky landing on the opening 3s+3t, that was rather decent for Zhang.

It should not be there period. The tech box is more than enough extras on the screen.

 

[Amy L]

My husband had to work overtime this morning so I get the big ass tv for this event. He'll be off for the rest of the weekend so I'll be a tv refugee for most of the Olympics.

 

[TAHbKA]

The puppy watched one lady and fell asleep. Now she snores. Not that it is much worse than the music

 

[Private Citizen]

3t and 3f both looked short to me, 3t more so. We have the weird jump map in the arena too

 

[ilovesalchows]

No jump map on US feed. So pick your poison.

 

[TAHbKA]

The ice coverage will be fun to watch when Kim skates. Her SP is 120m long

 

[beckab81]

Glad to see Zhang have a solid short. She's slow (and the map really highlighted that perception), but gave a good performance. Hope to see more of her in the next quad.

 

[Karen-W]

Okay, China's fluffy panda winter hats are everything and need to be sold to the world.

 

[Private Citizen]

Good for her on the 3f! She popped it over and over on warmup.

Oh no, just a single axel

 

[NinjaTurtles]

It’s fairly transparent, but I appreciate why it bugs for some.

Really they should show it during the replay.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

It's the Olympics! He can go away.

 

[tony]

Amazing she has no feeling from her knee to her foot in the left leg and she's maneuvered the jumps to benefit that-- and she's landing them! The 2A was always going to be the hurdle.

 

[MacMadame]

So WTF is this jump map supposed tho show us? What happened to the jump stats that are actually useful that we had with pairs??

So you know where the skater is if the camera operator totally loses them.

Kristen still struggling with the back injury which has hampered her all season.

48.28 = 2nd Place

 

[beckab81]

Spours was doing so well last season I'm bummed that she's now struggling so much with injury. That said, it's incredibly impressive what she's been able to do to make this work.

 

[Firedancer]

Crazy she was able to get through that program with no feeling below the knee in one leg

 

[susieB129]

Respect to Kristen for getting here.

 

[Karen-W]

All things considered, good for Spours for making it to the Olympics and getting to participate in the TE.
