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

[tony]

Scratchy blades the entire time, combo was an obvious stepout but +GOE for now. Quite slow and lacking choreography IMO. Throwing in random transitions that don't really have any kind of cohesion to the program, and even those were barely held and the Ina Bauer-esque quick move he did looked like his blade almost flew out from under him.

 

[Messalina]

I still have such a soft spot in my heart for Boyang

 

[MacMadame]

Noticed it goes away after completion of program jump content.

That makes it harder for me to ignore. At least it isn't up much in the SP.

One of Boyang's better efforts this season. The 3A was especially nice with the steps into it.

He seems to be peaking at the right time.

 

[skateycat]

Thanks to whoever pointed it out that the spermy jump tracker is actually good for seeing if a spin is centered, I think I’m going to stick it out with the venue feed.

 

[thvu]

84.15 is a gross over score for what Jin put out there.

 

[Private Citizen]

Quite surprised he beat Samoilov. Did Samoilov have a rotation issue? (I’m in the arena and don’t know if the commentators are saying anything.)

 

[Lilia A]

Premium does not eliminate the ads.

Thanks for the heads up! Ok so, no premium then.

 

[genevieve]

Don't say it!

I'm not the one who brought it up!!

 

[Citlali]

Guys are bringing their A game, but you know somebody's gonna f*** up, so who will it be?

I think we all suspect who

 

[Sally1214]

Aw ..... well done, Boyang. I just love him. Seems like I've been watching him for decades. I'm so glad that the NBC commentators are giving him the credit he so deserves for advancing the sport. I'm going to miss him.

 

[Karen-W]

Junhwan bringing the whickety-whack for us today!!!!

 

[ilovepaydays]

Well Cha got rid of the Dorothy Hamill hair, I’ll give him props for that.

 

[Hanna]

Can somebody please find a pair of scissors and cut the weird strings of fabric off of Cha's shirt.

 

[thvu]

OMG, I just realized Cha added rain sounds to the opening of his music.

 

[Elisheba]

I am so tired of rain getting in my black eyes.

 

[beckab81]

Jun heard us talking…

 

[MacMadame]

Junhwan bringing the whickety-whack for us today!!!!

And the invalid element. So, maybe the rest of the men are safe.

 

[floridaice]

 

[Private Citizen]

I suspect single axel means it’s last place for Cha, given how well the others have skated.

Love the program and the 4S was great. Lutz looked flutzy to me with loop at least q if not <

 

[Karen-W]

You guys all jinxed Cha with the talk of menning!!!!

 

[Lizziebeth]

oh no on 3A

 

[genevieve]

we are between 3 or 4 Carnaval block parties that got postponed due to the rain earlier and are in full swing now. Too hot to close the windows but I'm not sure it would do any good. Laptop speakers at 100%, but basically everyone is skating to samba music today.

 

[Citlali]

Junhwan VS the axel olympic version

 

[Sarah]

Loop looked under

 

[skatingguy]

Junhwan Cha
Coach: H.J. Chi, J. Kim
Music: Rain, In Your Black Eyes by Ezio Bosso

4S
3Lz+3Lo
Flying Camel Spin 4
1A* - invalid element
Change Foot Sit Spin 4
Step Sequence 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 4

Things looked so good on the first three elements, and then a single Axel was very unexpected.

83.53 = 3rd Place

 

[flyingsit]

And the invalid element. So, maybe the rest of the men are safe.

With 10 men, highly unlikely that only one will biff

 

[floridaice]

And the invalid element. So, maybe the rest of the men are safe.

He took one for the team today

 

[peibeck]

WELP! Our good luck with the men not menning comes to a close with Cha. But that 4S was incredible. Sigh.

 

[my little pony]

y'all jinked Jun

 

[Sally1214]

Oh no .... Cha pops the axel. He's another skater I have a real soft spot for.
