2026 Olys Womens FS PBP - Missed Full of Horrors

[Private Citizen]

Knee caps hanging over the seat edges of the person in front of you, basically into their backs, and every other person in a given row having to lean forward for everyone to fit? Yeah delightful

Water and soda spilled everywhere because they were taking all the caps

 

[Elisheba]

the French team is hanging out watching!

 

[my little pony]

thank god for venue feed, tara looks like stick on tile and Johnny is molting

 

[Hedwig]

a quint maybe just to be sure

it isn't quite the level of overscoring we are used to if we are not barfing after all!

 

[Moto Guzzi]

I have NBC on. Why is Johnny wearing Chewbacca's arm?

[Former Lurve Goddess]

They keep playing Alphaville’s Forever Young in the arena and it’s like they’re directly poking at figure skating’s aging audience.

 

[MacMadame]

Also - Russian Sports Tarot lady has some interesting predictions. Hoping she's a little wrong here today.

Let me guess. AIN is going to win Gold?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I will try not to jinx anything, but I do pray for consistent calling. Accurate calling is probably too much to ask, but consistent, please????

 

[Belsornia]

All set and ready to go while crying that we've reached the last competition event of this Winter Olympics.

I feel like the post-Olympics depression already hit for me today so hoping the women can turn it around - but not counting on it.

 

[Reuven]

Why is Tara dressed as a disco ball?

 

[Wyliefan]

Schild's dress looks like one of those anatomy charts in the doctor's office. Why can this poor girl not get a decent dress?

 

[Skate Talker]

In case anyone in Canada is looking for the TV broadcast, it has started on Sportsnet (regional channels) I imagine it may switch to CBC some time after the hockey game.

Of course the entire Women's competition is streaming live on Gem https://gem.cbc.ca/figure-skating-free-program-womens-30864?autoplay=1

Why is Tara dressed as a disco ball?

Donna Summer tribute?

 

[Karen-W]

Lorine is off to a shaky start.

Also, this side part and shiny, slicked back hair style doesn't look quite right on her.

 

[VALuvsMKwan]

Imagine Frank Carroll trying to comprehend Alysa.

Wasn't it Nicole Bobek who called him "Frankie"? I wonder if Alysa would just tell him to "Chill, fam".

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Why is Tara dressed as a disco ball?

Yeah, but a GOLD disco ball! Tara would never wear SILVER.

 

[Elisheba]

While I understand being inspired by Kaori, I continue to not understand why Lorine would ever want to inspire a comparison unless she starts skating about 3x faster.

 

[MacMadame]

Schild's dress looks like one of those anatomy charts in the doctor's office. Why can this poor girl not get a decent dress?

I like her dress.

 

[MsZem]

A jumping clinic this is not.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

It's really sad that Schild had the funds for a new costume but couldn't afford the right side.

 

[TAHbKA]

Schild as always has the jumps and doesn't have a programme. Why is she so stiff? It's not as if she oculd fall much lower than 24th or get much higher than 24th

 

[allezfred]

Tribute to Sakamoto to open the evening.

 

[Colonel Green]

Somehow I don't think this music is going to carry Lorine to a surprise Olympic bronze like it did for Kaori.

She's landing the jumps okay-ish.

 

[Elisheba]

I liked Lorine's Hell to the Liars program, but this is just sort of meh.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Is this program 10 minutes long?

Discuss

 

[Hedwig]

I love the music. Just not the skate to it.

is it me or have her jumps gotten even worse? No flow out of it, looked all borderline rotated....

 

[Private Citizen]

Well, Schild will be an early indication of how they're calling today .

Looked like 3Fe to me, and probably 3-4 underrotations (both loops, the second axel, the salchow); I'd want to see the flip and second lutz, too. It'll be telling to see if she escapes with qs or has UR calls.

 

[susieB129]

Tribute to Sakamoto to open the evening.

May the entire evening be a slow buildup to the ultimate Kaori tribute.

 

[tony]

Reviewing all the jumps? There’s hope.

Schild picking the worst time to suddenly lose consistency on her otherwise awkward air-position jumps. She’s happy but this was way below her norm.
