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

[Colonel Green]

Well, she does regret the toe loop, but in the grand scheme of things, that's not much.

 

[Citlali]

Kaori

Team Japan's reaction

 

[BittyBug]

Now Egadze also needs to finish at least 2nd to get the bronze for Georgia

GEO is currently one point ahead of ITA. All Egadze has to do is finishh higher than Rizzo and Georgia beats Italy. Nevermind, I had the wrong starting point totals.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Kaoris jumps were tight. She’s such a fighter.

 

[peibeck]

Kaori!


Her joy this whole Olympics makes my heart swell with happiness.

 

[slicekw]

Sakamoto the samurai skater. She’s not here to not lose. She’s here to win as much as she can. We knew that she’d show up like this, tho.

 

[miffy]

Well done Kaori

I can't see Ilia missing 2 nights running. Even if he's a bit messy his base value is just too high. Kam/O'Shea edging ahead of P/M really might have made the difference for the gold!

 

[Braulio]

So

Ilia has to win in order to get USA the gold, best scenario and storytelling for NBC impossible!

Egadze needs to finish second and Rizzo fifth so that will mean Georgia Bronze

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Kaori was very good, but that was not her best. That's fine with me. She can save her best for the individual.

 

[Lilia A]

GEO is currently one point ahead of ITA. All Egadze has to do is finishh higher than Rizzo and Georgia beats Italy.

Two points. If Egadze is third and Rizzo last, they tie in points. No idea what the tie break rules are.

 

[Karen-W]

Welll, the only mistake from Kaori was a 2a+2t instead of a 2a+3t, but that's not going to be enough to have her finish anywhere but 1st in this segment.

So, it will come down to the Men's FS. If Ilia wins, then the USA will win gold by 1 point.

And bronze will come down to whether or not Matteo can finish no worse than 1 spot behind Nika because Georgia would win the tie-breaker.

[rfisher]

I’m sorry but throughout the years, I never understood the hype behind Amber speaking strictly of skating. Like the fans here seem so into her and she just seems… there.

You're not alone.

 

[VGThuy]

Gubanova is so blah, but nobody else other than Kaori is better. Kaori held back but that’s okay. She needs to save it for the individual.

 

[LilJen]

Replays of Kaori’s flutzes…. Overall, that was lovely.

 

[Rob]

That’s a 10 for Kaori.

 

[MsZem]

GEO is currently one point ahead of ITA. All Egadze has to do is finishh higher than Rizzo and Georgia beats Italy.

Aren't they two points behind?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

GEO is currently one point ahead of ITA. All Egadze has to do is finishh higher than Rizzo and Georgia beats Italy.

Georgia is 2 points behind Italy.

 

[slicekw]

Preferred Gubanova over all the women.

I love Kaori. I hate this music.

Gubanova lacked soul. Kaori brought the joy.

 

[genevieve]

another Kaori score scream meme!

 

[Wyliefan]

Japanese box torn between screaming and stunned. American box subdued.

 

[my little pony]

oh I want this for team Japan so much but I dont think the math is gonna math

 

[skategal]

I LOVE that this is coming down to the final event to determine the medals!

 

[miffy]

Danny O'Shea has one of the happiest smiles ever

 

[ilovesalchows]

Wow. Well at least it won’t come to a tie breaker!

 

[MsZem]

I’m sorry but throughout the years, I never understood the hype behind Amber speaking strictly of skating. Like the fans here seem so into her and she just seems… there.

You're not alone.

Me three. It's like she should be interesting and she's just... not.

 

[ilovepaydays]

Johnny, GOE isn't about what THE JUDGES LIKE. Lord.

This is my reminder to everyone that Johnny once skated at the Olympics with a pretend bird that he named Camille.

 

[Lilia A]

If only Japan had a stronger dance team, it would've been gold for sure. No questions for Team UtaMasa, they did their job.
Shun isn't going to beat Ilia, so the US wins gold.
Italy needs Gogolev to lock TF in and beat Egadze.

 

[Spikefan]

Italy super stressed. Ugh, so am I.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Well, I'll be frank - I didn't expect US to get the team gold because of US paris overperforming

 

[Marta24]

So much drama in the team event. Love it!
