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

[floridaice]

Go Maddie!!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Oh no, music issue.

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh no!

 

[Karen-W]

Bandit has become quite needy in the last 15 minutes or so. She's just going to have to wait for attention until after this is over.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Browning: I try not to make Maddie mad!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Could anyone tell what the issue was?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

This dress is just sort of cut all wrong. The idea is good but the execution is bad.

Browning: I try not to make Maddie mad!

She skates better when she is mad!

 

[Karen-W]

Could anyone tell what the issue was?

Not sure but it was reported they had to change the first 30 seconds for the Olympics, so it has to be the wrong edit being used.

 

[tony]

She's giving the most non-descript annoyed look towards the side of the judges.

3T definitely tighter than her usual. Way up in her shoulders from the start like all of this is terrifying.

 

[floridaice]

Could anyone tell what the issue was?

I think it began before she was in starting position

 

[allezfred]

Wonder who had the bright idea for the screen sperm.

 

[honey]

She looks nervous as hell. But getting through it.

 

[Karen-W]

This dress is just sort of cut all wrong. The idea is good but the execution is bad.

Personally, I think this is the most flattering costume she's ever had.

 

[Private Citizen]

Schizas’s jumps leaning almost as much as Schild’s. Despite the big music, she skates quite small. It will be hard for her to catch Shin.

 

[tony]

I'm sorry, I don't skate much anymore and I never stretch yet I can do a held spiral better than she does. What the hell is that NON spiral time after time

 

[her grace]

Schizas: get it, girl!

 

[skatingguy]

Madeline Schizas
Coach: N. Lemaire, A. Purkiss
Music: The Lion King

3Lz+3Tq
2A
Change Foot Combo Spin 3 (4 after review)
3Lo
Flying Sit Spin 4
Step Sequence 3
Layback Spin 4

The opening combination was a bit wobbly, but Captain Canada settled down, and skated a clean short program.

64.97 = 2nd Place

 

[Matryeshka]

Roooooaaaarrrrr Canadian Lion Queen!

I wonder if in her case the music blip helped her--something so ridiculous it just takes the pressure off.

 

[floridaice]

Wonder who had the bright idea for the screen sperm.

It's the Sotnikova illustration

 

[Citlali]

Maddy

 

[tony]

I feel an Ashley Wagner 2014 team event short program kiss and cry reaction incoming. Because.. that wasn't as good as it seems she thinks it was?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

When it comes to the team event, Maddie is not Scott Moir.

 

[honey]

That was pretty good, but it wasn’t the skate from worlds last year. Hard to see her getting ahead of Gubanova or Gutmann if they are clean with this.

 

[Private Citizen]

3t looked < on replay.

As for the music, it sounded to me like it started 1-2 seconds in.

 

[skategal]

Yay great job Maddie.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, that was about as good as Schizas could do, but I expect it to be behind Shin and that doesn't give Canada much of a cushion going into the Men's SP tomorrow.

Bingo Loved the scowl.

 

[tony]

Bingo Loved the scowl.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

And there you have it.
