2026 Olys Team Event PBP Day 2 - Will It Be YAYmoz? Or GO!GO!lev?

[genevieve]

For some reason, Charlene's dress color makes it look like she's wearing sneakers.

ETA maybe because I'm used to seeing her in catsuit costumes and her general look is athletic

 

[Karen-W]

Well, Marco's made it through his twizzles two competition segments in a row now...

 

[Elisheba]

I liked them better when they were robots...

 

[skatingcheckers]

I know no one in the world likes them, but G/F are the second best skaters in the world and I really want them to get their flowers.

Plus Marco is one of the more level headed over dancers I know.

I agree. I'd love them to get the recognition they deserve. I really like their FD.

 

[Desperado]

G/F skate a lovely goodbye.

 

[BittyBug]

Who’s the woman in the Georgia box with the Mar a Lago face?

The head of the Georgian skating fed.

Well, Marco's made it through his twizzles two competition segments in a row now...

Not so sure. Even on the step sequence, his twizzles really look rough and up to the toe.

Anyways, brilliant skating quality but there’s a lot of frills such as the rough whipping into the rotational lift that I think constantly lose them GOE. Too much going on almost, and it never seems placed right to the music.

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

It sucks that G/F hampered themselves with that terrible RD, because their FD is really lovely.

More passion in their performance than we've seen for a while, and the crowd clearly lifted them through this program.

124.22 = 1st Place

 

[Rob]

G/F are a team I have been watching for ages and I still don’t know what he looks like. I always watch her at all times. He blends into her which does have its good points. It’s a seamless
program.

 

[floridaice]

loved that -- and them

 

[Lanie]

Who’s the woman in the Georgia box with the Mar a Lago face?

I don't know but I've seen her a lot/interacted with her when I've volunteered and she looks so scary overfilled in person and sneers all the time

 

[Karen-W]

Good skate for GuigFab today. I really hope they can win the TE bronze here.

 

[Private Citizen]

Twizzles still look rough but better.

The free dance keeps improving and I could see it placing third in the individual, but will they be too far back after the RD?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Aw, nice skate at home for Gui/Fab plus a happy Babs.

 

[CassAgain]

Char performed the heck out of that. I want her to get this bronze so badly!

 

[peibeck]

While I have long loved G/F they are really stiff so far this whole Olympics. Not deep in their knees as usual. It's almost disconcerting to see.

 

[slicekw]

Nice to see a home team get a lift and recognition. Plus Babs is making me grin.

 

[Citlali]

Barbara leading the Italia cheer

 

[Sarah]

I actually like G/F but something bothers me. She’s tall but doesn’t embrace her height? She almost seems to try to appear shorter and leans forward or something? Or rounds her shoulders? I’m not entirely sure but it’s something that bothers me. She’s almost taller than him but the way they try to hide it almost hurts them? Because they are good!

 

[her grace]

G/F

Beautiful! I was moved

 

[beckab81]

superficial note, Charlene's arms are incredible, you can see all the muscle definition during the dance spin

 

[Dobre]

Guignard & Fabbri have given me many of my favorite moments over this past quadrennium. So glad they stayed in to have these moments at the Olympic games & for the Italian team.

 

[my little pony]

that one italian coach looks like the guy at every party who can hook you up with anything

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Barbara screaming: Italia! Got to love her.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Italian team should get an additional point for the presence of Carolina.

 

[Lizziebeth]

love me some happy Babs!

 

[thvu]

This program for Guignard & Fabbri is such snoozy miss. And with the degraded quality of their skating, their downward trend was inevitable.

The twizzles were slow and cautious, seemingly by design so they can get through them. One foot turns were musically irrelevant. The choreo elements were just underwhelming. Even the highlight, the curve lift, which was great, had no build up to it, so the moment just comes and goes without adding anything to the overall package or impression.

 

[Karen-W]

L4 for Marco's twizzles held. And that score is solid!

 

[Miezekatze]

I don't know but I've seen her a lot/interacted with her when I've volunteered and she looks so scary overfilled in person and sneers all the time

After Nika Egadze was finished the cam showed her throwing a really icy look toward some other (federation?) guy and I instantly felt bad for Nika. She makes Eteri look warm and fuzzy in comparison
