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

[canbelto]

I actually lowkey think Sato might edge Yuma for the silver.

 

[MacMadame]

So Sato would need to win the PCS by two if his TES holds.

It didn't though. Hold.

 

[genevieve]

Can we give Shun extra GOE for the Japan Team Box? PCS? Extra Credit?

 

[CantALoop]

If Shun doesn’t win it he lost it on the step sequence and the levels and blah GOE

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Can we give the Japanese team the gold medal for best KnC performance?

 

[VGThuy]

I don’t think it’s enough. Now, if it was Kagiyama skating his planned content cleanly….

 

[TAHbKA]

What are the odds the judges will actually be fair and give Sato a higher 2nd mark than Malinin?

 

[Spikefan]

So happy for him, solid all season!

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I wouldn't mind Shun winning this at all.

 

[Coco]

What was the issue with the last spin?

 

[PRlady]

Shun was really great, that’s the best he could possibly skate. Probably not quite enough because Ilya but still, great fight from Team Japan.

 

[MsZem]

I'm really enjoying Louise Walden on Eurosport tonight.

She's is 100% Team Sato.

 

[Marta24]

Sato did all he could. Can't ask for more.

 

[Wyliefan]

Sick of ads on Peacock!

 

[Karen-W]

Shun is getting some L2 calls on his step sequence and a L2V on his final spin.

 

[susieB129]

He won't, but he should get better PCS.

 

[Skaterbob]

I don’t think it’s enough. Now, if it was Kagiyama skating his planned content cleanly….

Cleanly would be the shock in a long program

 

[allezfred]

Walden concurring with me on Sato’s skating skills over Malinin.

 

[Aceon6]

After Rizzo absolutely filled the space, Sato’s skate looked small. Ilia by 2.
Amber looks very relieved.

 

[my little pony]

ive never seen so many car insurance commercials, please bring back the uncrustables

 

[EdgyIceMarks]

That Men's Event had all the drama.

 

[beckab81]

Sato usually gets an E call on his lutz so I fully expected the tech score to drop a bit.

 

[Karen-W]

194.86 for Shun! Ilia wins!!!!!! And Team USA wins!!!!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I want Ilia to get out there for the scores so the team is all together, but that's not very realistic.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Nah.


Still, fantastic performance, team Japan!

 

[Private Citizen]

Good judging. He was much slower, covered less ice, had weaker spins, and let it go a bit in the last minute. Malinin’s PCS were better today.

 

[Carolla5501]

Well, I feel sorry for Japan but I have to admit I’m so happy that the USA won the gold medal and actually will get to collect the gold medal at the games this time

 

[Skaterbob]

Shun Sato gave it everything, good for him.

 

[Habs]

Nope. Totally disagree. That gold medal should be Japan’s.

 

[my little pony]

Japan should just go buy a dance team, that's a shame
