2026 Olys Team Event PBP Day 3 - When Your Bum Hits the Ice and Your Legs In the Sky - That's Errore!

[PRlady]

That was pretty damn perfect from the Georgians minus slight stumble at end. Could definitely win.

Walden trashing Berulava footwork and jump landings on Eurosport.

 

[just tuned in]

Luka is breathing very heavily. Also breathing heavily during their rest-break mid-program. Sick?

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Got to love Richaud’s cheesy and schticky programs. He can choreograph these all day long.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

LOL the tepid applause from Riku and Riyuichi

 

[CantALoop]

All the sirens in the music gave me flashbacks to Laetitia Hubert’s “Prostitute on Drugs” free skate

 

[Dobre]

Apparently Cappellini & Lanotte spoiled me because, for some reason, I feel like when the phone rings (followed by sirens, no less) in your program, your facial expression--not to mention the choreo--ought to reflect a change.

 

[MacMadame]

I was impressed with this team at one point but now they just bore me.

 

[Cachoo]

I thought them wonderful despite the mistakes. She is a force.

 

[Citlali]

Anastasiia

Luka you were there too, and I didn't think you were going to drop Ana in the lift so

 

[shan]

Berulaeva's footwork is all kinds of

But so solid on the jumps and throws!

 

[floridaice]

Getting a 1 pt deduction -- guessing her mistake on the slide

 

[Lilia A]

Some very high GOE on the lifts given that they were scratchy and scary af. Those are the GOE the baby Japanese usually get for their awesome lifts.

 

[BittyBug]

Score tracker showing a -1 deduction. Maybe late ending?

 

[MacMadame]

They have a 1 point deduction.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Wow low score!

 

[VGThuy]

With the extended posing section in the middle, I was left wondering why don’t slow sections hit the way they used to? Even when they try, it just doesn’t hit.

 

[Braulio]

Metelkina and Berulava could take the first place if Riku and Ryuchi dont skate clean, helping them for a possible bronze chance again and giving the US another point not expected

 

[Sally1214]

Georgians: She is a rock star. Luka's footwork scares me to death. And, of course, the ugly death spiral which scores high.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

and right into the ugly grab-leg BODS - only called a L1.

What is the POINT of that ugly ass death spiral if not to get a higher level?

Apparently Cappellini & Lanotte spoiled me because, for some reason, I feel like when the phone rings (followed by sirens, no less) in your program, your facial expression--not to mention the choreo--ought to reflect a change.

It's wild that they just skate through it like it doesn't exist.

 

[CassAgain]

Come on Riku/Ryuichi!!!!

 

[LilJen]

WANT. RIKU’S. DRESS.

 

[dupa]

Remember when you were little and would yell out "Phones ringing!" Well, after I sorta grew up I'd yell out, "It's NOT for me!!"

 

[MacMadame]

If they lose to JPN by less than a point, will people stop sliding all over the ice? (Assuming that is what their deduction was for)

 

[Karen-W]

Score tracker showing a -1 deduction. Maybe late ending?

It was her stumble on the choreo seq - TES dropped from 3.40 before review to 0.93, so I'm sure it counted as a fall.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Time for the wacky Bocelli Gladiator.

 

[MacMadame]

Metelkina and Berulava could take the first place if Riku and Ryuchi dont skate clean, helping them for a possible bronze chance again and giving the US another point not expected

Given MetBer's low score, I think JPN has a one mistake advantage over them.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Remember when you were little and would yell out "Phones ringing!" Well, after I sorta grew up I'd yell out, "It's NOT for me!!"

As a teacher, when the phone rings, sometimes I like to yell out "NOT IT!"

Which doesn't work because I'm the only one allowed to answer.

 

[floridaice]

Ryuichi needs the same sleeve cut that Trennnnt has -- show off those arms!

 

[Matryeshka]

His haircut looks crisp! He must have seen Nika's hair and said Nope!

He has to set a good example for his godson, after all.

I am starting to warm to the Georgians, but this free program is not it.

Predikktion for the future that I'm going to say is really wild but really isn't: in 2030, Georgia will be unquestionable podium favorites, and it will be Kazakhstan who will take the place of Georgia--new to the team event, hungry, ready to prove themselves in a big way. I really enjoyed the Kazakh ice dance RD--it really is one of the best ones this season in terms of making the 90s theme work.
