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

[Karen-W]

Yeah but I believe you can only bring one coach to the OLYs (vs. two to Worlds), so he must be there with another athlete.

Probably Samodelkina.

 

[rfisher]

Oh, well doubling the 4lz could have been worse. Now, we wait and see what the rest of the field does.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

We are watching Egadze over Sia Him Fa. Life’s not fair.

 

[Matryeshka]

I'm happy to hand Georgia their Olympic medal in individual pairs. Italy for team bronze!

Nah. I don't want them to medal yet. I want them to stay in another four years so they will be forced to get programs that fit their skills and abilities better. I don't think they've hit what they're capable of yet.

 

[miffy]

Eteri being supportive!

 

[umronnie]

C'mon, Matteo!!!!

 

[Private Citizen]

C’mon Matteo, repeat Euros! I love this program.

 

[Karen-W]

154.79 is eminently beatable by Matteo and Gogolev. Hell, Torgs could have beat that.

 

[Sylvia]

LET'S GO MATTEO!!!

 

[BaileyCatts]

LET'S GO MATTEO!!!!!! GET THAT BRONZE!!!!!

 

[Skaterbob]

If Eteri was any farther away she would be in France. lol

 

[Prancer]

I know this may be tacky, but the more I see Ashley Wagner’s suit that she’s wearing, the more I hate it. It seems like the skirt needs to be a bit longer and the whole outfit needs some different color (than just the red) somewhere. Like maybe some black tights?

My husband (who never notices clothes) complains about her shoes every time she's on screen. He says they are too minimal for her muscular legs (of which he approves) and make her feet and legs look really out proportion.

I keep looking at him like and wondering what alien has possessed my husband's body.

 

[susieB129]

Go Matteooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[LilJen]

Stone faced b e n o i t and Eteri on either side of Egadze

 

[CantALoop]

Or just some scissors really.

Seriously that hairstyle makes him look in his 20s and 40s at the same time

 

[Wyliefan]

Rizzo starting by zooming into the camera.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Go Rizzo! I have everything crossed for a good skate. Would love to see him get a medal.

 

[Amy L]

Did the Italians know what the boards were going to look like because they're all color coordinated.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Matteo ready for his closeup

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

BTW, do we all realize Matteo is skating to Cizeron's music without claiming he's a whale?

 

[peibeck]

I feel badly for Egadze seeing how torn up he is, but hoping Matteo knows he can get through this.

 

[Flip Jump]

Barbara ready to whack someone with the Italy flag after the first quad The lady is committed!

 

[Hanna]

Italy booth at literally every jump by Rizzo

 

[Spikefan]

My heart rate is through the roof.

 

[VGThuy]

We are watching Egadze over Sia Him Fa. Life’s not fair.

Seriously. I didn’t realize how much of an OES style Egadze had. It gave very mid-10s to 20s at Euros in the 2000s QR performance. Just with quads.

 

[Karen-W]

Ohhhhhh... Matteo doing so well so far in the first half of this program! Keep it together!

 

[Citlali]

Matteo do it for your nonna who lend you sooo many blouses through the years

 

[NinjaTurtles]

In bocca al lupo

 

[rfisher]

I'm watching the live scoring and how the hell does it have points before the skater has actually done the element? Is the feed that far behind the real skating?

In any event, good for Rizzo. It looked like his career was over and he's skating better than he ever has. Never say it's over till it's over.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

OMG, Matteo
