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

[dupa]

Errr, a little late but did I just see Ellie land some shit or am I tripping?

 

[allezfred]

Canadians skated great too, but I think Kam/O’Shea have won the whole thing for the US with their clutch performance.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

I’m still bitter we had to watch Michaud in his tight T-shirts over queen Stellato.

 

[jlai]

Even if Deanna is well enough to skate, it is clear that P/M are better pairs at this point. Quality elements alll around.
Sorry for the Americans who may not rise from 5th. (good for doing your best though!)

 

[skatfan]

Thrilled for Cam and O’Shea, they just put more pressure on Miu/Kih.

 

[slicekw]

Anyone else on Peacock getting commercials where we didn’t yesterday?

 

[Rob]

I’m pretty stunned by this result. K/O’s lifts are dynamite but the jump and throw elements are tentative while P/M’s are secure. Wow, well we will take that extra point!

 

[JoannaLouise]

Wow, that was closer than I thought it would be! Pereira/Michaud's previous PB from their bio is 128.70, so this was a huge improvement. Good for them!

 

[Private Citizen]

Sara Conti looking great on the sbs including three jump sequence in warmup.

 

[peibeck]

I'm nervous for Sara. I hope her knee is holding up.

I got them later in the day on Peacock. Maybe no one pays for airtime at 4 am.

 

[CassAgain]

As a Team USA uber and KamO fan, I am over the moon with their skate, but huge cheers for Lia and Trennnnt, too. They didn’t train mentally or physically for the team event and they were marvelous in both programs. Yayyy North American teams! Now Conti Macci, go get that medal!!!

Huh? Cam/O’Shea beat the Canadians to finish 4th

 

[BaileyCatts]

Well this comp is over for Gold/Silver.

Come on Italy for Bronze!

[mtnskater]

Holy Moly! KAMO came through!! What a clutch Olympic moment for them. Wow so close but they did it and she stood up on everything.

LOve the Michelle Kwan commercial too.

 

[PRlady]

Haven’t seen Pairs in person in years, even in Boston I cheaped out and watched on TV. But the energy by and for Danny and Ellie was wonderful, and I’m so glad I now get to see three out of four best pairs in person!

 

[MacMadame]

Sorry for the Americans who may not rise from 5th. (good for doing your best though!)

They can finish no worse than 4th at this point.

 

[Matryeshka]

I know purists don't care for the TE, but I love it. I love what it brings out in the athletes--sitting together as a teams, cheering each other on, coaches going from jacket to jacket to support their skaters--it just embodies the Olympic spirit. I love what it brings out in the competitors and while certain fans might not take it seriously, they certainly do. And they manage to have a wonderful time while doing so.

Going back to Gladiator was a good move for Lia and Trennnnnt. Ellie is now in such a great position. It might give her confidence going into the individual. And if it doesn't, medal of some color probably secured and she had her moment on Olympic ice. Danny too.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

So after the warmup, we get a potential pairs event podium preview.

 

[genevieve]

I'm glad we're having this warmup break, because I'm still processing K/O'S having the skate of their lives

ETA - I also got home right before the event and accidentally got the NBC feed so this gives me a chance to get away from Johnny and Tara

 

[Wyliefan]

Looks like Yuma stole Kaori's Olympic glasses.

 

[Wyliefan]

Anyone else on Peacock getting commercials where we didn’t yesterday?

Yep, getting them now.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Yuma has borrowed Kaori’s glasses

 

[BittyBug]

I’m on the venue feed and don’t have commercials. Scratch that.

Lia Pereira/Trennt Michaud
Coach: A. Purkiss, N. Lemaire, M. Marinaro
Music: Gladiator (soundtrack) by Hans Zimmer

Triple Twist 3
3T+2A+SEQ
Throw 3Lo - step out
3S
Reverse Lasso Lift 4
Throw 3Lz
Back Outside Death Spiral 3
Axel Lasso Lift 4
Choreo Sequence
Hand-to-Hand Lift 4
Pair Combo Spin 4 (3 after review)

Pretty solid, and technically very close to the Americans technically before reviews. Unfortunately they probably needed to be perfect to beat the Italians today.

134.42 = 2nd Place

Didn’t know until now that Marinara was coaching.

Sending “may the injuries be a non-factor” vibes

 

[jlai]

They can finish no worse than 4th at this point.

I'm behind on the video.

eta: don't agree with the scoring but I'm not there

 

[Private Citizen]

All the pairs looking very solid. Swish throw 3Lo from Sara. I want this so badly for them…..

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Goooooooo Sarah/Niccolo!

 

[just tuned in]

Johnny is working his Italian accent. "Barrr-barr-a Fuusarr Pol-li"
