2026 Olys Womens FS PBP - Missed Full of Horrors

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I forget what this Not Handmaid's Tale program is supposed to be about but go voidy Nina!

 

[Finnice]

Can we make a petition for ISU to get rid of the leader's chair? The skaters behave well, but it must be hard to sit there and being observed.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Fun fact: Samodelkina would be translated as "Doityourselfkina"

 

[canbelto]

Nina's red dress is really pretty.

Pinzarrone and Isabeau have the most polished programmes of them all. I wish the judges could reward that somehow.

Screaming at them about waltzes got results, so maybe?

 

[Karen-W]

Samodelkina should really consider working on a 3A.

She was late last summer but injured her knee and had to withdraw from DTM as well as get skipped over for a 2nd GP assignment due to recovering from the injury.

I applaud the lack of sequins and stoning on this costume. Because I could just see someone with a glue gun wanting to go crazy on it, despite Handmaid's Tale being very...unglamorous.

Anyone have the Benoit description handy?

 

[tony]

The jumps are wonky and every single one should rightfully get reviewed and scrutinized.

But this program. Chills every time. Quite possibly the best spins, and the composition of it is just amazing. Pacing. Nothing frivolous or out of place. Benoit Richaud gets her.

The voiceover is Elizabeth Moss. She’s skating to the freaking Handmaid’s Tale.
Explains the red dress.

Giving me the biggest feels since Schindler’s.

I'd like it to be the top 3 together like it used to be. It was nice to see them all interacting together. They seem to have the other 2 separated by a couple of metres now.

 

[Elisheba]

Pinzarrone and Isabeau have the most polished programmes of them all. I wish the judges could reward that somehow.

If only there were some category, like presentation, that might capture that.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Nina is so patriotic - she's obviously trying to paint a Belgium flag on the technical elements panel....

 

[Yazmeen]

Nina's red dress is really pretty.

It certainly fits the music - very understated.

THIS.

Is it always this close to the skater getting their scores? That's really awkward.

If only the judges had a way to reward performance quality

 

[millyskate]

Pinzaronne's dress is gorgeous Her jumps make Kahunnen's look ample.

 

[JoannaLouise]

The combo spin was perfect

It’s always more fun when it’s the top 3.

 

[allezfred]

Nina said F E M I N I S M

 

[peibeck]

I love, love, love Pinzaronne's free, but these jumps are sp tight and tiny today. But her presentation is gorgeous.

 

[Private Citizen]

So many jumps getting reviewed. Literally every triple jump I believe? Could go anywhere from 3rd to 7th depending on the panel. Guessing fifth in free, fourth overall?

 

[canbelto]

Nina has the best spins since Kamila.

A lot of lovely qualities to Nina's skating, but the graphics for height, and speed on her jumps are doing her no favours. Let's see what the technical panel does, but given how much time she lost to injury this was a good performance.

SP: 68.97 = 11th Place
FS: 131.33 = 5th Place
Total: 200.30 = 4th Place

 

[beckab81]

I love this program, but the tech score should drop a LOT - I think the only jump she rotated was the first 2A

 

[FunnyBut]

Tara is quieted by seeing that Nina jumps even smaller and lower than she ever did. Satoko puts her an artistic hand on her shoulder in solidarity for tiny jumping arteeste.

If ONLY there was some way to mark the artistry of the performance

 

[clairecloutier]

With all the choices, why on earth would someone choose The Handmaid’s Tale to skate to, and at the Olympics at that ….
